"Everything Keeps Coming Up You" is a highlight from "The Upside Of Down" that represents some of the ear candy both of Bertrand's bands were capable of creating.

"Everything Keeps Coming Up You" by The Tories
The Tories were a terrific power pop band led by Steve Bertrand that flew under the radar at the turn of the century. During their time, they released two records, "Wonderful Life" in 1997 and "The Upside Of Down" in 2001. After the band's demise, Bertrand formed Avion, which included some Tories songs on their one and only release.

"Beautiful" by Avion
There is a rather confusing history behind the pop rock band called Avion. Avion emerged from the ashes of a band called The Tories, and the common thread here is the talented singer and songwriter Steve Bertrand. Some of the songs from The Tories also appear on this lone release from Avion.
This is a brilliant, nearly flawless record from start to finish - I don't know how in the world it got overlooked. Filled with catchy, hard-edged pop songs and gorgeous ballads, Avion should have taken the country by storm. My favorite track is "Beautiful" - check it out.
