They have their hearts set on making shimmering indie rock which is big on dynamics and uplifting melody.. one of the year’s most promising debuts.Rolling Stone, November 2010
Magnificent..
Noel Mengel, Courier Mail, November 2010
Not unlike Steward’s work in Screamfeeder, the record is defined by the ongoing struggle between evocative texture and meticulous songcraft – with the key difference of We All Want To prioritising the latter as opposed to the former.

Either way, Steward wins: plainly, the dude’s quality control is impeccable, as I’ve still not heard a bad song attached to his name. In We All Want To, Steward has found like-minded souls with whom he can build upon an already outstanding career.
The Vine, Nov 2010
We All Want To spent a year recording their self-titled album. The result? Ten perfectly crafted songs that you find yourself sinking into. The album is a mixture of upbeat summer riffs and the occasional dark and transcendent bridge.. I just know that I want to listen to it over and over until it melts into my stereo.
Collapse Board, October 2010
The whole thing shimmers and the band sound young and excited; self-assured and brimming with kinetic energy.. Not only do you know what WAWT will sound like, you know it will be pretty damn good.

Queensland has Tim Steward. His new outfit We All Want To delivers another four tracks of the kind of hook laden, lyrically subtle, quiet brilliance that we’ve all come to take for granted.
Time Off , Single of the week
A band of five people from very different musical backgrounds; indie rock, folk, drone and noisy pop – WE ALL WANT TO present their debut self titled album. A broad range of sounds, songwriting styles and voices feature on this eclectic release.
WE ALL WANT TO are
- Tim Steward – he is from Screamfeeder and loves cheese
- Dan McNaulty – he is from The Narcotics and loves shoegaze
- Josh Thomson – He is from West End and loves Reverb
- Skye Staniford – she is from the stars and loves love
- Ben Thomson – he is from New Farm and loves public transport
WE ALL WANT TO
- Spent 6 months not deciding on a band name, then named the band after someone misheard something someone else said in a noisy restaurant one night.
- Spent over a year recording their debut album in lots of different studios because it would be fun and varied. It wasn’t, it was expensive and long winded.
- Are very prolific, writing more songs then they have time to learn.
- Have a second album of material ready to record already.
- Can all play most of the instruments in the band, badly. Can play their own instruments sufficiently.
- Couldn’t think of an album title, so it’s self titled.
Tim put the band together over 2008 and 2009, and they released their debut EP Back To The Car in 2009. The band toured and spent the next year recording their debut album.
Produced by some of the country’s greats: Magoo, Wayne Connolly, Jamie Trevaskis, Darek Mudge and Bryce Moorhead, the album is a concise and varied slice of the band’s awesome repertoire.
