Everything But The Everything Adds Some ‘Salt’ to a Hotshot Punk Sound

Led by Izzy The Gent, the Bay Area-based Everything But The Everything delivers fresh alt-punk vibes. Their new 7-inch A&B Sides Volume Two is out now.

Everything But The Everything is comprised of vocalist Sophia Prise, guitarist Ian Dowd (Fire In The Hamptons, JonBenet Stranglehold), drummer Chad Roxxit (The Hot Takes, Chad and Scott), and Izzy The Gent (JonBenet Stranglehold, The Frail, The Cons, Fake Your Own Death) on bass (and everything else).

The dual single-release A&B Sides Vol. Two delivers two edgy and melodic alt-punk tracks, “Hotshot” and “Salt,” produced by Rex Shelverton (Vue and Tamaryn).

“The first day in the studio with Rex, I showed up with a $99 Casio keyboard and played stock grand piano sounds,” Izzy The Gent said. “Rex didn’t bat an eye. He put the cheap keyboard through his vintage equipment and got it to vibe.”

While “Hotshot” has a new wave-inspired feel that showcases Prise’s vocals,“Salt” blends punk rock rawness with pop melody.
