Everyone Asked About You is an emo band hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas, established in 1996. Their name is inspired by a children's book authored by Theodore Faro Gross and Sheila White Samton. After a long hiatus, the group reunited in 2022 following the Numero Group's reissue of their works and subsequently released Never Leave, marking their first new material in a quarter-century.
History
During the period from 1997 to 1998, the band produced one full-length album along with three EPs, one of which was a split release with The Shyness Clinic. Although initially under the radar, they eventually earned acclaim for their debut self-titled EP, noted for its distinctive fusion of emo and indie pop. Their original run included a single tour in the summer of 1999, culminating in a farewell concert on February 26, 2000, held at Clunk Music Hall in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Following the band's dissolution, drummer Lee Buford went on to form The Body, while John Beachboard and Collins Kilgore started American Princes.
In 2022, Numero Group announced plans to reissue the band's complete discography, which led to the 2023 release of the double album Paper Airplanes, Paper Hearts, named after a song from their initial self-titled EP. The band also returned to live shows with a reunion event in their hometown and performed at the Numero Twenty festival.
On June 3, 2024, they unveiled "We're All Losing It", their first new track in 25 years, recorded during the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024. Later, on June 25, they revealed another song titled "A Vigil" alongside the announcement that the Never Leave EP would officially be released on August 5.
