Even As We Speak

Even As We Speak

Even As We Speak is an indie band from Sydney, Australia. The line up changed over the years and with founding members Matthew Love (guitar, banjo, vocals), Mary Wyer (vocals, guitar) and Rob Irwin (bass) joined later by Anita Raynor (drums, mandolin), Paul Clarke (guitar, vocals) and Julian Knowles (keyboards, production, guitar). After a series of vinyl releases on Australian independent labels including Phantom Records, and success on the Australian indie scene, they released several singles and an album on the UK indie label Sarah Records, three of which reached the Top 5 of the Melody Maker and New Musical Express independent music charts in 1992 and 1993.

Between 1992 and 1993, the group recorded three sessions for John Peel and one session for Mark Goodier for BBC Radio 1. They were among the few Australian bands to record Peel Sessions - others were The Birthday Party, The Triffids and The Go-Betweens. A session was also recorded for Radio France. The band's music is an unusual hybrid of accessible pop and more experimental elements. Some commentators consider them to be key figures in the post C86 subculture in the UK, although their music breaks out of conventional pop moulds to experiment with forms.

Egg Records of Glasgow has compiled Even As We Speaks 5 Australian vinyl singles into a 17 song CD "A Three Minute Pop Song is One Minute Too Long" (2007)

Wyer now has a new musical project called Her Name In Lights.
