chart on April 29, 2006. It was produced by Shep Goodman and Kenny Gioia
and continues to bring the brand of energetic pop punk that fans have come to expect from Punchline, yet often takes a turn towards alternative rock or unexpected styles. There is a much heavier use of falsetto on the album, by both Steve Soboslai (guitar) and Greg Wood (guitar), and somewhat less of Punchline's unconventional use of harmony
, though the "way they twist their voices mid-word, and adopt a unique sound" remains at large.
Subject matter tends to be less obviously positive than their previous full-length, following the abrupt departure of former bandmate Paul Menotiades, but self-assured lyrics in songs such as "Green Light," "They Are Strong Hands," and "Exactly" are the antithesisu to the dark and often violent lyrics of some of Punchline's peers.
The album contains a number of references to former Punchline member, Paul Menotiades, although the band insists that the third track, "The Getaway," is not one of these instances.
As lead vocalist and lyricist, Soboslai splits vocals with both Wood and Chris Fafalios (bass) on 37 Everywhere. The name of the album comes from Soboslai and Fafalios's growing fascination with the number 37, explained here, and the liner notes advise that "The number 37 is everywhere. It is in your daily routine and it will surprise you. Look for it and it will look for you."
The album is dedicated to the life and times of John 'Beatz' Holohan (1974–2005) of Bayside
, and the song "They Are Strong Hands" contains a shoutout to the late drummer, "Ain't nobody gonna bring me down, my boy John Beatz got my back." The title of the song is a reference to the track "They Looked Like Strong Hands" on Bayside's 2005 album Bayside
, which features guest vocals from Punchline's Steve Soboslai.
37 Everywhere features guest vocals from Anthony Raneri, lead vocalist of New York's Bayside
on "Flashlight," vocals from John Johansen of the defunct Stryder
on "Caller 10," Ryan Mendez of Yellowcard
and Staring Back playing guitar on the track "Don't Try This at Home," and Josh Bonner of the defunct Unsung Zeroes on "Wars Will Always Happen."
Punchline headlined the "37 Everywhere Tour" in Spring 2006 to promote the album, with labelmates Cute Is What We Aim For and the bands Valencia, New Atlantic, and The Audition as opening acts.
