I found this band+album while I was randomly browsing through the untouched albums that are sitting on my hard drive, waiting to be listened to. The Forecast consists of Shannon Burns on Bass/Vocals, Dustin Addis on Guitar/Vocals, Tony Peck on Drums, and Matt Webb on Guitar Vocals. You know what that means: Three Part Harmonies! The Forecast has pretty much everything you'd want out of a talented but common emo indie-rock group - catchy lyrics, a strong female singer, two and three part harmonies, and a lot of vocal emotion. You can sort of already get a vibe as to what they are about from just hearing how they sound, but the lyrics really spell things out.


I got this feeling I can't shake
Tonight.
So I'll call you, for the hundredth time
Just asking for a reply.

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight.
Waiting up
For the phone to ring off the hook.
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise.

I know - not exactly the most eloquent writing, but I didn't get into this band for their lyrics. It's simple, but it's real. This band now is what Dashboard Confessional was to me for my junior year of high school - that guilty pleasure band you listen to over and over again while hoping for a return text at 12:30 in the morning. "Seating Subject to Availability" and "APR" are two other standout songs that sold me on this album, but what it really comes down to is the entire feel that the album gives off. It's something to listen to when you want to "feel" rather the "appreciate" what you are listen to, if that make any sense. Trust me - listen to the track "Late Night Conversations" and it'll make perfect sense.

Oh, and I made travel pep band at Uconn. Baller. Now I need to figure out some new goals to set for myself. Life is good.
