2011 was a year of ups and downs for He Is We. The Tacoma, WA duo had a fantastic start with their album My Forever getting embraced by consumers and critics alike. The Aaron Sprinkle produced effort had a strong debut on the charts and the twosome got a ton of attention. They also had several tour opportunities lined up to get in front of more people and spread their music the hard way.
A big tour for He Is We was going to be a run of shows with All Time Low But after only a few dates on the road they were forced to pull off the tour due to Rachel Taylor’s health issues. Respecting Taylor’s privacy, we won’t disclose Rachel’s condition, but she did say that it was both “frustrating” and “manageable.” The frustrating part has been the lack of being able to go out on the road and play shows.

JSYK interview.
December 23, 2010 1 Comment
He Is We have just released their debut album, ‘My Forever,’ but while their loyal fanbase is enjoying their catchy new songs, singer Rachel Taylor wants to set the record straight. She and her bandmate Trevor Kelly are not dating, and he does not sing on the record. Period.
The Tacoma, Wash. natives met while working in a music shop in August 2008, and built a huge following by posting songs and demos on sites like Purevolume, on which they have amassed over 2.6 million plays. The melodic duo soon signed to Universal, and released their new album on November 22. It quickly hit No. 4 on the iTunes Pop Album chart as well as No. 6 on Billboard’s Heatseeker chart.
But Rachel and Trevor’s relationship is strictly a super tight friendship. Sorry uber fans, but Rachel actually just got engaged and Trevor has a girlfriend. Check out our exclusive interview in which the charismatic singer dispels rumors, talks about He Is We’s single, ‘And Run,’ what it was like collaborating with The Almost’s Aaron Gillespie and what her advice is for aspiring musicians who want to stake their claim in the music world.
JSYK: Hi, Rachel! First of all, we want to say congrats on the success of ‘My Forever.’
Rachel: Thanks!
JSYK: We read that you and Trevor met at a record store back in the day. Was there any initial attraction between you two?
Rachel: No, not even remotely. He’s really small, no offense. He’s not a bad looking person, don’t get me wrong, but I felt more of a connection when it came to our humor. I had just moved to Tacoma and I didn’t have any friends, so the last thing I was looking for was a soulmate. To me, when I saw him, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! A friend!’”
JSYK: I’m sure people think you’re dating.
Rachel: Lots of people do, and I have a promise ring and everyone thinks I’m engaged to Trevor. They’re always kind of intimidated to come and tell us how great we are, or whatever, because they feel like we’re dating and they don’t want to make the other person mad. I just really want to clear the air and let everyone know that he’s got a girlfriend and it isn’t me. Read more of this post
Rewrite the Scene review ‘My Forver’.
December 14, 2010 Leave a Comment
Out of Tacoma, Washington, emerges a beautifully balanced chemistry of lyrically impassioned vocal melodies paired with simple, heartfelt, and tasteful songs. The major-label debut by HE IS WE, entitled “My Forever”, is a blend of cozy, sunny day songs, with noticeable amounts of smiles and love. The majority of the songs have the uncanny ability to entice a smile out of the worst of days.
“My Forever” Review.

“He Is We to release new album and tour” Interview.
November 15, 2010 Leave a Comment
Alt-pop duo HE IS WE disagree about how much pressure was on them while they put together their much-anticipated debut album MY FOREVER.
“It wasn’t hard at all,” explains vocalist Rachel Taylor. “We chose the songs that we felt would represent us the best!”
The other half of the duo Trevor Kelly, counters, “Not necessarily. We did have a huge slew of songs, some we were personally attached to more than others, but I think we nailed the ones we absolutely love.”
Judging from the ultimately agreeable, pristine pop of the resulting album, they chose well… VERY well. Read more of this post

Interview: He Is We
With the duo recently signing to Universal Motown, Alter The Press! thought it’d be ideal to speak to one half of He Is We, an alternative pop duo from Tacoma, Washington. Compared to the likes Eisley and She & Him, He Is We were the number 1 unsigned artist on Purevolume.com last year and earlier this year played SxSw and Bamboozle.
The duo are now working with producers Casey Bates (Chiodos, Portugal. The Man), Aaron Sprinkle (The Almost, Eisley), and Dan Romer (Ingrid Michelson) on their new album.
Guitarist Trevor Kelly talked about signing to Universal Motown, what can we expect from their début full-length and more. Read more of this post

There’s only one thing I can think of that I find more excitingly rare than seeing a dog walk on its hind legs…and that’s coming across a band where you love every single one of its released songs. Literally. The duo of Rachel Taylor and Trevor Kelly do just that when they combine their indicative lyrics and lasting melodies to form the band He Is We. Read more of this post

“Delightful” is not normally a term used in a non-ironic manner by music critics, but Tacoma duo He Is We are an exception to this unwritten rule. There is no more accurate way to describe the sound of Trevor Kelly and Rachel Taylor. This may be a bit of an affront to Kelly, who “is into hardcore metal and talks about bloody things,” but certainly nothing he should apologize for Read more of this post

- Second time seeing them, and I still cried when Rachel walked on... June 18, 2011Second time seeing them, and I still cried when Rachel walked on stage. She’s been my idol since sixth grade. She told me she’ll put our secret song on their next album just for me. As gross as I look, she always seems to look perfect. Trevor’s just a goofball.
