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

“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

Interview By: Michael Skehan for The Sound Alarm
Mike Skehan: So how is everything going?
Rachel Taylor: Oh my God. It’s going. We just drove 25 hours to Utah. Like, we’ve been in the van for 25 hours straight so I’m a little tired, but we’re super excited for tonight’s show. It’ll be amazing.
M: How is the tour going so far, other than the grueling drives?
R: It’s going awesome! We’ve gotten to meet a lot of people. A lot of the shows have been super unexpected, like with the draw and stuff. It’s been a lot of fun and a lot of it has been really surprising but it’s just super exciting.
M: Surprising in what way? Good or bad?
R: Super good. When we went to, let’s see, Philadelphia, I had no idea that people knew us in Philadelphia. I didn’t even know we had any type of street team there, nothing. When I went and noticed that people were singing along, that was one of the craziest feelings ever. Just realizing that we have no idea how big of an impact we actually have. It’s crazy how many people actually know us and it’s just very humbling and scary at the same time. We don’t want to mess up. Read more of this post

Setting: The Cake Room at the Puget Sound Christian Center.
Brianna: Okay, so first of all, how did you guys get your name?
Rachel: Well that was actually me.
Trevor: Take it.
Rachel: Umm, we got our name, uhh it’s about basically, I don’t know, I wanted to make sure that the next music project I did, I don’t know, that we kind of blended in with the crowd and it’s basically about how we’re no better than anyone else and He Is We is basically…it’s like we’re all connected. You know, no one is better, no one is separated as much as you’d like to think that you’re your own person…you’re actually connected to a buttload of people in like a community.
Trevor: Buttload.
Rachel: Can I say buttload?
Trevor: You can say buttload.
Brianna: So you had a previous band before?
Rachel: Yeah, just like a little thingy, I had it when I was like 15 years old and then we had this random, I’m from the San Juan Islands and so you get bored on San Juan so you either do drugs, play music or both and I played music. So we started a little project and they’re just little things, nothing serious. So I want to make sure that the next project is something that my heart is into. Yeah? 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.
