The Forties are booked to play @7 Fest
It’s rare to find a band, who in less than one year, has played 50+ shows, shared the stage with national acts of all types of genres, and gained a highly-devoted following. And it’s even rarer for a band to accomplish all this in just their first year of being together. Pop-rock foursome The Forties have done just that.
The self-proclaimed “Boy’s Next Door” spent the last three months of 2009 working on their debut EP entitled “Daydream” with engineer/mixer/producer Austin Briggs [Breaking Benjamin (Hollywood Records), Six Gallery (Superball)]. Inspired by the alternative rock bands of the 90′s, “Daydream” showcases The Forties ability to combine catchy lyrical melodies with upbeat guitar riffs, while accomplishing the difficult task of developing a unique sound to call their own.
“If you take Third Eye Blind melodies, throw in some old Green Day, and then sprinkle in a dash of the All-American Rejects, the result… is The Forties…” claims Carlson, “… we’re not trying to reinvent pop music, we just want people to listen to our music and for a short period of time, forget about the daily grinds of life, because that’s what we are trying to do ourselves.”
The Forties will end 2009 by touring across their home state to promote the release of “Daydream” playing shows in Columbus (w/ Green River Ordinance), Dayton (w/ Rookie Of The Year), Kent (w/ Red Wanting Blue), Akron (w/ Kate Tucker), Cincinnati, and Lima.
