The Rest have always used the band as an outlet for all sorts of creative explorations. Band-related side projects provide excellent excuses for pulling mountains of paint onto ping-pong table canvases, immersion in guilt-free, time-consuming, essential (possibly existential) distractions. Before long, these activities unknowingly morphed to form a factory; frenetic assembly line album construction sessions, t-shirt manufacturing frenzies, and night shift Alfred Hitchcock montage obsessions.In the past year The Rest have seen their album Everyone All At Once garner a multitude of glowing, positive reviews. Everyone All At Once has found a home internationally with Something In Construction Records, and following the worldwide record release in March, the band is looking forward to the opportunities that will surely come with the additional exposure. However, for The Rest, creating music that they love is the ultimate goal.
The Rest's newest release is Cried Wolf, a combination book and EP project. Cried Wolf goes beyond the standard four song release to include a narrative account of the adult adventures of the boy who cried wolf, complete with surreal illustrations drawn by the band's good friend MLXNDRSC.
