"This album is just great all around; calling it a masterpiece isn't a reach. Calling them the next Arcade Fire , doesn't do them justice either. The Rest, with Everyone All At Once have forged a sound of their own. With a stunningly great album, they could be well on their to way to becoming the next great Canadian band. 5/5*****" AWMusic

“When at their most sonically unhinged, The Rest's music plays like something akin to the weirdest/most beautiful moments of a Michel Gondry film. “Everyone All At Once” is an album of great scope that accomplishes real beauty in both its moments of chaos and measured precision.” -- Captain Obvious

“Fast-forward to the present, and THIS is what we've been waiting for. Everyone All At Once is, for lack of a better word, a masterpiece. There are no weak songs on this album. That's right, there is no filler. How often does that happen?” – Pretending To Be Japanese

"If you miss "Everyone All At Once" you're crazy. This is Art! Without a shadow of a doubt. 5/5 *****" - giov www. indieforbunnies. com

“The Rest is clearly chugging from some musically-enchanted Canuck fountain. The kind that promises reckless musical abandon, and the sort of emotionally gripping swells that will have movie music supervisors come knocking sooner than later. Enjoy the early warning -- because The Rest will be commanding the next Canadian invasion.” – Confessions of a Would-Be Hipster

“Full of surprises, Everyone All At Once seeks to showcase the wide array of weapons The Rest have at their disposition. No one formulae is employed in this album as every track is different and beautifully executed!” – Rock Sellout

“I highly, highly recommend it. Throw in a little shoegaze, indie pop, indie rock, and just downright great songwriting and you've got what could be (and IMO should be) one of the best albums for this year. What took a year and a half to make grabs at you within the first few seconds. I can't pick just one or two stand-out tracks. All ten stand out.” - Eldur og Ís

“The result is a stunning record that no doubt will leave an emotional imprint on anyone who listens. From the more obvious melodic songs to the more subdued ones, Everyone All At Once is solid from start to finish.” – I Am The Crime

“Everyone All At Once is a super moody epic record that's soaring, melancholic at times, theatrical at others. It's warm one minute and chilly the next. It's truly a expansive record that Canada might have difficulty containing.” – Pop! Stereo

“Their sound is quite exquisite, and really something to be marveled at.” – Ear, Eye, Nose Candy

“Over the course of the ten songs, the Hamilton natives build and retract, surge and retreat with skilled hands in an effort to heighten the drama and excite the listener…the band's melodies move along like ocean waves. The smallest ripples stir huge crashes and generate immense power, only to retreat and crawl back to where they began. When the band hits on all cylinders, the energy of anthems like Apples & Allergies, Everything All At Once, Walk on Water and The Lady Vanishes is truly inspiring and invigorating.” – Herohill

“…stands alone in its grandeur and unique composition. Some of the best music I've heard thus far in 2009; highly recommended.” – Local Vertical

“Hamilton; home to electronica darlings like the Junior Boys and Caribou, and now the residence of one of the country's most promising bands, The Rest. The seven-piece's dreamy sound dials in the daintiest parts of shoegaze, sprinkles in the occasional rush of bombast ala Arcade Fire, and then lets frontman Adam Bentley and his falsetto skip across the perilous range of human emotions." – Junk

“A beautiful album. Imagine Arcade Fire, The National and Mercury Rev went into the studio together.” – Alankomaat

“An album composed of dreamy and melancholic pop songs, perfectly laced with just the right amount of falsetto, you float from song to song, unable to ignore the hypnotizing effect it has on you. Then, in an instant, it's all over. Leaving you with that yearning feeling you get when you have been abruptly woken from a great dream that has seamlessly carried you through the night. Fortunately, once you've stepped out of the dream world, there is a repeat button.” – Stereo Cupcake

“It's musical magnetic poetry! Everything you love about music is right in there.” – Tympanogram

“You know how the next brilliant, unheralded Canadian band that puts out the next gobstopping album teeming with lilypads of frog-in-throat tunes will always be hailed as the next Arcade Fire? And did you know how if justice reigns in the world, The Rest just might be the next Arcade Fire?” – Pirates of the Bargain Bin

“Everyone All At Once comes across faultless, I agree 100% listening attention is required, but as a package untouched by fads and trends The Rest are producing music with some refreshing eccentricity.” – Mojophenia

“A Masterpiece” –Indiehere

“The Rest's most recent offering is far more dramatic, melodic, and immense then their previous record, Atlantis, Oh Our Saviour. Adam Bentley's voice is mellower, more distant, more thoughtful, and more accurate; the acoustics and one-off guitars and thick, saucy cymbals remain consistent, but even here is a lurking, lonely edge, one of functional desperation and oppressive shadow.” – Kata Rokkar

The Rest are finishing up the last touches on mixing Everyone All At Once! Mastering should be finished shortly with sneak previews planned over the next couple of months until the album's eventual release in early 2009. The Rest recently performed an intimate taped show at Catharine North Studios to great response. Keep your eyes open for video from this event soon!

Hear what people are saying:

"Apples & Allergies is a slow-building and serene journey into effervescence that has me hitting repeat over and over." –Wolves Hawks And Kites

"The intoxicating smell of freedom, that's exactly what Apples & Allergies' bewitching sonorities conjure up….carefully studied variations, always well-chosen, and a voice that sends you into raptures" ElectronLibre.com

"…a seemingly seasoned performance which may be one of the biggest indie rock sleepers from the past couple of years…considering the band's apparently overlooked status in the blogging community." PopMatters.com

"Even though I was a huge fan of their last album, Atlantis, Oh Our Saviour, I definitely didn't give it the listen it deserved. Based on "Walk On Water (Auspicious Beginnings)", I'm hoping I don't make the same mistake with their next album, Everyone All At Once." Iheartmusic.com

Allegories have officially released their debut album Surreal Auteur to tons of positive review! Check out what people have been saying!

"Subsequent listens have proven no less exotic, no matter what way I approach it I continually fail to unravel a single word yet always leave with a bleary intoxication from the dreamy swirls. This is Panda Bear with less obvious reference points, Adam Bentley and Jordan Mitchell venture into the great unknown and come back bearing all manner of gourmet audio. The remarkable news is that there is a full album of wide-eyed glee and its called 'Surreal Auteur', a moveable feast that will have you entranced from beginning to end....It's at times like this that I find myself fighting back the tears at the beauty of it all. Music to ensure you never grow old." mp3 hugger.com

"It's just so delightfully abstract. While the tracks may have their own titles, there are no separate songs, really. The album is, more than music, an exploration of the secrets of the mind. Like that state between sleep and awake… this is music to dream to." Pretending To Be Japanese
