Impostor Syndrome is an Experimental Rock Band based in Tāmaki Makaurau, New Zealand. While lead vocalist Ryan Culleton, guitarist/multi instrumentalist Shannon Coulomb and drummer Scott Nicolson have been close friends since their High School days, the band was formed in the early 2020's with a shared passion for creating unique and impactful music. Their sound is heavily influenced by alternative rock, post-punk, the world of poetry and cinematic scores, characterized by a mix of powerful vocals, driving beats, and atmospheric instrumentals that come together to create an emotionally charged soundscape. The band is dedicated to using their platform to tackle their musically ambitious nature, while their lyrics often touch on themes such as mental health, self-discovery, and the search for identity.

See Everything is the latest single in the band's 2023 new music roll-out and is about seeing a relationship degrade over time and the hindsight that comes to you after it’s too late. Driven by a 12-string acoustic guitar, rolling, thunderous drums follow before a visually captivating lyrical narrative begins. Layer upon layer of reverb-drenched distorted guitars colour the space while seagull-like lead guitar lines hang above the second verse. See Everything explores yet another new sonic space by the band while maintaining the same soul and energy that belies their previous catalogue.

Having just released a trilogy of acoustic live performances from their album Oriens (released back in October), Impostor Syndrome felt it was the perfect opportunity to follow up with an acoustic-forward rock tune. See Everything is accompanied by a music video that is a cross between an old film grained montage with some performance footage. Guitarist/Producer Shannon Coulomb has been recently toying with some A.I visual material in an attempt to further realize his aural-visual synesthesia, which serves as the basis for the music video. There were definitely some interesting results along the way, as has been seen with the variety of recent A.I generated imagery to appear online.
