Nevereven: The Progress of Disaster Album Review

There are experiences, both personal and musical, that can only be learned by spending years in the jam room, on stage and in the recording studio together, and Nevereven have not only been outlasting many other modern rock bands, they have been growing as a unit the whole time. With a decade of gigs, jams and recording sessions behind them, the group brings their mature sound to their latest record, 2011’s The Progress of Disaster, a five-song EP filled with hard-rockin’, no holds barred tracks.
