Indie rock duo Hand Drawn Maps have released their new single and live performance video of “Everybody Knows.”
The two create a unique sound that pulls influences from a vast array of genres including classic 1960s psychedelia all the way through current indie rock and pop. “Everybody Knows” is no exception, an infectious indie-rock anthem.
The band was started by lifelong friends Stewart Crichton and Blake Baldwin who write and compose all of the music themselves. Stewart said:
When it comes down to it, this song is sort of about a dysfunctional relationship, whether that be with yourself, someone else, or a substance. A lot of our songs deal with substances but this one calls that out in a more direct way.
Blake added:
I think there is a little bit of a f- you buried in this song. I’ve always pictured it as dealing with someone who has a bunch of negativity going on, and they might not even be aware of it themselves, but everyone around them knows what’s up. Sort of a call out like, “Hey, you’re not fooling anyone. We know your game.”
