In an industry dominated by syrupy love tunes and ditsy teen bands, the inspirational, lively songs of up-and-coming band Ever provide a refreshing break.
Founded in 2000, the obscure rock band got a huge boost when former Beyond member Yip Sai-wing took them under his wing in 2003.
'We performed at a music festival in Singapore in 2003 and Sai-wing happened to be one of the guests there. He was impressed by our energy on stage. We were really lucky,' says Ka-ho, the band's lead singer, guitarist and drummer.
Released last month, the promotional tracks from their first album Ever One sum up the band's spirit and beliefs.
The theme of pursuing dreams runs through Tomorrow and The Child of Wind, evoking the brand of inspirational rock made immortal by Beyond.
The band has even invented a new genre to encapsulate their youthful ebullience and optimism about the future.
