German Sprite Zero[edit]

Have they done the song of the german sprite zero commercial called "Falling Away"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.96.68.125 (talk) 16:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No. The internet has provided a means of spreading the rumour that it is their song, but this is only because it sounds like them. Their myspace has a bulletin outlining that they had nothing to do with it, and the answer can be found here.[1]

"It's called "Falling Away" by Deep Scene. The 'Falling Away' track was written by Lindsay Jehan, Hugh Wilson, Andy Bloch, and Morgan Visconti at Human Worldwide. It is not by Evermore as most say it is."

The song is called "Falling Away" yes, but it's not by Evermore, or Deep Scene. (Where did you get "Deep Scene" from??) It's sung by Hugh Wilson, produced by Lindsay Jehan, and written by them both for Human Worldwide (of whom, Morgan Visconti and Andy Bloch are owner/composers) [2] with John Robinson on drums.--Benson Verazzano (talk) 07:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. It sounds nothing like Evermore.... it seems the rumor spread when someone uploaded the song onto Limewire and incorrectly credited it.--Benson Verazzano (talk) 07:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

Theyre from New Zealand. They aren't Australian-New Zealand at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.164.138.2 (talk) 03:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Hume was born in oz and that is where they reside now. I think that has to count for somethng. The quote 'New Zealand-Australian' is quite fair. Russel Crowe was born in New Zealand but is considered a 'New-Zealand-Australian'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.163.48 (talk) 15:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Russell Crowe is only considered an Australian when he does something good. During the phone controversy he was a New Zealander. The idea that they are Australian just means that Australians want to claim all the good stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brew-dog (talk • contribs) 11:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Evermore have been nominated for the Australian Artist of the year along with Kisschasy Silverchair and Veronicas. Now i could be wrong but i would assume that being nominated as the Australian artists of the year, they would be considered australian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.58.182 (talk) 10:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, the Hume brothers were born to an Australian mother and New Zealand father, and i think that is sufficient jusitification for the "Australian-New Zealand" label. it's mentioned here (the brothers also mentions this in a video interview but at present, this is the best i can do): [3] --114.77.204.60 (talk) 14:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA review[edit]

OK, there are some things to do before I can pass this for GA.

  • In "Rise to fame (2000–2003)", there is a sentence that begins with a date. Could it be re-worded so it begins with a word instead of the date?
  • Can all the occurrences of #15, #1 and other numbers be changed to number fifteen, number one, and so on?
  • "Three singles were released from the album; "It's Too Late", "For One Day", and "Come To Nothing", which charted moderately" - remove comma after "For One Day", and replace semicolon after "Come To Nothing". The "To" in "Come To Nothing" should be in lowercase.
  • "It's Too Late", "For One Day" and "Come to Nothing" appear twice very closely to one another within the paragraph. The second bit should be rephrased, maybe to "These singles were all featured..."
  • There should be a mention about the Dirty South remix (I think) of "It's Too Late", it's a notable recording.
  • The last date in Dreams section needs to be formatted correctly with the other dates (day before month).
  • Another date in Real Life needs to be tweaked.
  • "Four singles were released from the album; "Running", "Light Surrounding You", "Unbreakable", and "Never Let You Go"" - please remove comma after "Unbreakable".
    •  Not done - See above.
  • "the band played the Big Day Out" - should be "the band played at the Big Day Out"
  • The discography section could do with some tidying. How about listing all their main releases (albums, eps and singles) only - no chart positions, platinums, etc.

Thanks, good luck! RaNdOm26 (talk) 11:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The serial comma is optional to use. In Australia, however, commas are not used in lists. Per Serial comma#Style guides opposing mandatory use, it says "Generally, however, a comma is not used before and, or or etc. in a list". I probably would remove them myself. I won't solely object to this for a GA, however. Thanks for addressing the other points. GA passed. RaNdOm26 (talk) 06:54, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks - feel free to make the serial comma changes if you wish. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 07:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced information[edit]

I removed the following section from the article as it is entirely unsourced and has POV issues. Do not readd the material into the article with fixing these issues.

===''New Song Writing''===
While on tour with P!nk in Europe promoting their first international album "[[Evermore (Evermore album)|Evermore]]", with first single "[[Hey Boys and Girls (Truth of the World pt.2)]]", the band have also been writing music on the road, with rumours already spreading about an entire new album with completely new material due for release sometime mid-late 2010 firstly in Australia only months after the release of their self-titled greatest hits album. The band had written new songs, three of which were included on their first international album, on the small break they had after finishing their headline and P!nk support tours in Australia before heading overseas. It is not confirmed how many tracks the band has written, but rumours suggest there is more than enough for at least one entire 13-track album. A collaborative song titled "Lay Your Weapons Down" with the African Zulu choir was expected to be released late 2009, but was dropped in favour of "Underground" for early release in 2010 in Australia, with European release to follow shortly after. Jon and Dann Hume have confirmed they have written at least one song together in Munich, Germany in their hotel room. It is also rumoured that Dann Hume has written a song or two by himself, the same member responsible for writing single handedly possibly the bands most revered and popular song "Light Surrounding You" back in 2006, the song also became their first number 1 hit in Australia.

Cobbe?[edit]

I have I think fixed some vandalism here.

It was added here by a very active IP. Andrewa (talk) 17:29, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cobbe appears to be the Hume brothers' previous last name per sources now in the article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:19, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Kept. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:56, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to suffer from a lack of updates. There are two citation needed tags for

  • After completing a major tour of Australia and Europe as opening act for superstar Pink in early 2010, the band took some time out of the spotlight, stating on their official website and blog that they were currently writing and recording their next studio album.
  • The first single, the title track "Follow the Sun", was used by HBO America in a major end of year promotion for the station.

But that main problem is that the article is not updated after 2012. Sure, they haven't made a single album since then, but there's probably still more to talk about. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:35, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I have started working on the article, generally proceeding chronologically. I have found some new sources and will continue to look for more. My work on the article may take about a week or so. I ask for no decision on whether to demote this article be made until I have had a chance to bring it up to date.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:28, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep I believe I have addressed the concerns raised by the nominator. The article is greatly expanded and now includes a new section Afterwards, which details the various works by the Hume brothers since the end of their asssociation with Evermore.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep comprehensive improvement. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:57, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
