The album was recorded in Philadelphia with Grammy Award-winning producer Will Yip at his Memory Music Studios. This marks a continuation of their long-standing collaboration with Yip, who also produced their 2017 album “After the Party” and 2019’s “Hello Exile”. The band members, Greg Barnett (vocals, guitar), Tom May (vocals, guitar), Eric Keen (bass), and Joe Godino (drums), emphasize a return to their initial collaborative spirit for this album.

Vocalist and guitarist Tom May noted that “Everything I Ever Saw” was shaped by significant personal changes and global events, pulling the band deeper into their friendship and creative process. Lead singles from the album include “Chance Encounters” and “Better Angels,” with “Nobody’s Heroes” also released earlier. The album’s themes explore memory, adulthood, and the passage of time through a punk lens, reflecting on major life changes like marriage, divorce, loss, and growth.
