*RoomThirteen.com Rating|4|5 [http://www.roomthirteen.com/cgi-bin/cd_view.cgi?CDID=3057 link]"Everything in Moderation" was the only album by British-based rock trio Winterville, which was released on
November 14 ,2005 through Toxxic Records. It was released on CD and as a download viaiTunes .The album showcases the band's blend of 1960's
blues-rock , 1990's grunge, and modern day rock. It included the band's first acoustic-only song, namely "Mr 3 Percent", which could be seen as the precursor to their later, all-acoustic EP, "The Absinthe Sessions". Three singles were released from the album. These were "Shotgun Smile ", "Under My Skin" and "Breathe".The album was listed at number 23 in Classic Rock Magazine's 50 Best Albums of 2005 [ [http://www.wintervilleonline.com/images/WV%20Industry%20Mag%20Scans/wintervillepress12.jpgWintervilleonline.com] Scan of Classic Rock Magazine Accessed on November 26, 2006] , which was a poll of critics.
Track listing
All songs written by Peter Shoulder, except "Under My Skin", written by Peter Shoulder & Steve McEwan.
Luke Morley of the band Thunder is credited for "Additional production and special guidance", probably because of the friendship the two bands had after their tour together.The version of "Breathe" included here, and later released as a single, is a completely different recording to that which appeared on the band's earlier limited release "The Fallout Sessions EP".
Record label and the industry
Like the singles, the album was released on the band's own imprint, Toxxic Records. This is typical of guitarist Peter Shoulder's attitude to the music industry, who has "absolutely no interest in playing the whole pop game" [ [http://www.wintervilleonline.com/images/WV%20Industry%20Mag%20Scans/wv9.jpgWintervilleonline.com] Interview in Kerrang Magazine Accessed November 26, 2006] . Shoulder also attacks the industry in the songs "Mr 3 Percent" and "Penny For The Fool" [ [http://www.wintervilleonline.com/summaries.htm Wintervilleonline.com] Song Summaries Page (may require password registration) Accessed November 26, 2006] .
