Everywhere at Once is the second studio album and major-label debut by American power pop band the Plimsouls, released in 1983 by Geffen Records.[3] The album reached #186 on the Billboard albums chart.[4][5] It includes the radio hit "A Million Miles Away" which reached #11 on Billboard's Top Rock Tracks.[6] It would be the band's last album until 1998's Kool Trash.
In 1981, the Plimsouls released their self titled debut album through Planet Records but left the label the same year, dissatisfied with the lack of promotion by their label.[7] The album reached #153 on the Billboard albums chart.[5] The following year, the band released the independent single "A Million Miles Away" on their own Shaky City label, after which they signed with Geffen Records for Everywhere at Once.[3]
Retrospectively, AllMusic felt that the album has mixed results, writing, "While the change to a major label did have a profound impact on the band, it wasn't always for the best. While Jeff Eyrich's somewhat heavy-handed production did take a little air out of their performance, the end result is far less clinical than other major-label mainstream rock records of the day."[2]
Trouser Press wrote that the album is "bubbling with undiminished fire and melody."[3]
