The band's sound reflected the rock, post-punk and singer/songwriter influences of Alexakis like X, the Replacements, the Pixies, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Elvis Costello. Also elemental to Everclear's success was their obsessive touring schedule and agressive self-promotion.

Opening bands: Stephanie Schneiderman, Illusion 33
