The Forecast are not the kind of band you would expect to be signed to Victory Records. Their sound bears absolutely no resemblance to Victory’s flagship screamo acts like HawthorneHeights, Silverstein and Aiden. The Forecast play what I’d call “Midwestern rock,” with a little alt-country flavor thrown in. They make great road trip music. I think their songs would be an excellent complement to the scenery of a random American town through your car window. Both of their full lengths feature several songs with cool back and forth male and female vocals courtesy of lead singer/guitarist Dustin Addis and bassist Shannon Burns. In the Shadow of Two Gunmen has several songs that you can rock out and sing along to, but today’s tune is a little slice of alt-country goodness. I had this album for about year and listened to it intermittently but I had kind of passed over this song somehow. Back in the spring I saw the video for it online and realized how excellent it is. The song was stuck in my head for a few weeks after that and now it gets to be stuck in yours.
One new song everyday until I get tired of doing it again. Click on the artist's name to get more information about them. Click on the album art for purchase information. Click on the play button to listen for yourself. Enjoy.
