Former Brighton resident Finian Greenall was a relative late-comer to the world of live music, despite his beginnings as an EDM producer and DJ. In his early 30s he dropped the decks and picked up an acoustic guitar, re-inventing himself as a live act, and one with the 'blues'.

Part of the so-called ‘new complexity’ movement of bands that includes the likes of early Foals, alt-J and Wild Beasts, Everything Everything have nevertheless been ploughing their own furrow since they burst onto the scene back in the latter part of the last decade. Makers of a distinctively British sound that fuses 90s dance with guitars, synths and drums in creating a crisp, often forceful, sometimes subtle noise, their creativity and adventurism shows little bounds.

Sure, reality TV and mainstream pop is (as it has always been) largely dominated by the youth. But, more than ever, they are literally going their own way. They are leaving the rest of us in our tracks. Metaphorically speaking. Look at what happened in the recent European Referendum, and the General Election. The youth (under 25) overwhel...
