[edit]

Trophy Eyes was formed in 2013 by Andrew Hallett on lead guitar, Kevin Cross on rhythm guitar, Jeremy Winchester on bass and backing vocals, Callum Cramp on drums, and John Floreani on vocals. They later released an EP, Demo 2013, on 8 April 2013, which consisted of two tracks, "Chacho" and "Personal Taste".[5] Everything Goes Away has five songs and it was written about a period of his life during which he lived in his high school town prior to moving to Newcastle. Originally released 11 November 2013, it wasn't published on streaming platforms until April 29 the following year.[6][7] On the same day, a music video for their single "Hourglass" was released.[8]

This tour lasted from 26 January to 6 February.[16]

In October, long-time drummer Callum Cramp announced his departure from the band.[17] Personal tensions between Cramp and the band were cited as the reason he left.[18] "Hurt", the band's first single without Cramp, was released on 8 November 2017.[19]

From 24 November to 17 December, the band embarked on their first US headlining tour with support from Free Throw, Grayscale, and Head North. Blake Caruso filled in for drums on this tour before officially joining the band.

Stage diving incident (2024)

[edit]

During a 30 April 2024 show at Mohawk Place in Buffalo, New York, John Floreani blindly leaped into the crowd, landing on top of a woman who then suffered a broken neck, partially paralysing her. The woman, Bird Piché, 24, is suing after she sustained spinal cord injuries due to negligence from the defendant, and their failure to prevent "unsafe and/or dangerous conditions."
