Everthus The Deadbeats - "Nothing, I Want Nothing"
(Independent, 2005) - * * * 1/2
If you're looking for something with local flavor, this four-song EP comes highly recommended. Blending an art-rock sound with elements of progressive blues and funk, Everthus The Deadbeats may well be the most original band working the Muncie scene! "Belly Achin' Dummy" has a light Beatles sound, while "Human Paraquat" sounds like Ween mixed with the bizarre eclecticism of former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham (I couldn't help but love the background "oohs" and "aahs" that were so reminescent of his classic track "Big Love"). But you won't need to get that far to find something to like about this band: the opening track, "I've Got A Lot Of Faith In This Product", should hook you with its funky keyboard intro and earn you as a fan with the sardonic vocals. I can't wait to hear a full album from this group!

I came across your review of the Deadbeats' EP "Nothing, I Want Nothing" and I was wondering if you have any plans to review their recent recording "Addicts Stuck in Traffic"?
