"Everybody Out!" is a punk rock band created in 2007 by Chris Sweeney (Dead Pets) that featured Rick Barton, the original guitarist for Dropkick Murphys.[1]
The band was primarily based in Boston, Massachusetts. Sweeney contacted Barton while living in Boston, and the duo wrote most of the songs in one session in Sweeney's apartment[2] in the Boston neighborhood Jamaica Plain. Sweeney named the band after the popular phrase in the UK used by union leaders when walking into a factory— if a deal could not be made for the workers, they would shout "EVERYBODY OUT![3] strike action"
Barton and Sweeny financed two EPs before signing to Taang! Records. Their self-titled debut LP was released on April 8, 2008. Various friends and musicians contributed to the record. The band's lineups included Barton and Sweeney, along with Bill Close (from Gang Green and the Freeze), Mike McMillen (lead guitar), and Kevin Garvin (drums) from On Broken Wings. The songs were recorded with the intention of Sweeney recording vocals when he returned to the US, but Barton decided to release the recordings with rough vocals.[4]
Sweeney designed all the artwork for the band and made some "quick & dirty" music videos with friends from Leeds, Yorkshire, UK, and Dead Pets band member Tim Millington, aka Stash, as the "Jack the Lad" character.[5] The band also recorded a song for the Red Sox's “Royal Rootersdocumentary,[6] which was featured on the Struggle and Strife EP.[2]
