Brooklyn-based alt rock band Everstill have released WHAT IS ENOUGH, a five-song EP that grapples with depression, disillusionment and heartache. The title lends itself to various meanings. How much suffering can a person take? How much joy is enough to keep us afloat? When does a relationship reach its breaking point?
The group draws from hard rock, grunge, dream pop, indie and prog rock. Click Roll Boom called the first single off the EP, Red, “dreamy and reflective, yet grounded and sincere.” The group followed that track with Front Row Seat. “From the moment the chunky, assertive guitar riff kicks in, you’re strapped in for a sonic rollercoaster that mirrors the very heart of the lyrical narrative,” wrote Tuned Loud Hit Radio.
WHAT IS ENOUGH comes four years after the release of Longing, the debut album by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sara Aridi (vocals, guitar, bass, keys). Upon its release in 2021, the singles In Your Dreams and Waiting landed coverage on platforms in North America and the U.K. In 2023, Aridi teamed up with guitarist Adel Bagli, drummer Britton Matthews and bassist Pierce Krauland. Since then the group has been performing across New York City, including Arlene’s Grocery, The Bowery Electric, Bar Freda, Pete’s Candy Store, Hart Bar, Lucky 13 Saloon and more. The bassist Sarah Klein joined the group in 2024, and will be onstage with them at Pianos on July 23. More shows will be announced soon.

1. Red
The first single. A dark yet groovy reflection on moving to a country that goes against everything you stand for.
2. Never Become
A slow burn with a powerful coda. On the fear of having an empty life and not achieving your dreams. “What do I stand for? What have I done with my life? Who have I helped and why am I so empty inside?”
3. Something More
A soft, indie rock track on craving excitement, a jolt to the system that can shock someone out of their digital, emotionless routine.
4. No One
Somber and synth-heavy. Imagines what it’s like to be killed in an instant.
5. Front Row Seat
The second single. Driven by a chunky guitar riff, it captures the emotional roller-coaster of a breakup.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
