The Forecast sing about straight highways and whiskey, small towns, giving up and gaining hope. From Peoria, Illinois, a downstate town that is dying by degrees comes this young rock band for whom a steadily declining economy and the narrowed options of their friends and family became fodder for songs that are devastating, bittersweet and dreamy. The high lonesome soprano of bassist Shannon Burns soars over the vocals of guitarists Dustin Addis and Matt Webb on songs that alternate from sweet harmonies and meandering guitars of classic rock to the breakneck intensity of indie rock and punk.

In The Shadow of Two Gunmen showcases densely layered vocal arrangements that sound like the work of a much older band, leavened by raucous gang vocals, courtesy of their hardcore roots. The guitars combine classic rock goodness and rough-edged Americana, lending blistering passion to lyrics that convey faith, hopefulness and a deep love of family and place. On And We All Return To Our Roots Burns soprano refrain, All I want is a little place of my own where I can rest my head rings over Addis, who sings, Id rather move than watch you damn the gods. He explained, I wrote that song about watching pieces of yourself stripped away over time and how you eventually just have to stop, get back to your roots, and find some space for yourself.

The pretty harmonies of One Hundred Percent and chiming, twangy guitars frame a pledge to give loved ones the full measure of oneself, saying, As soon as we met, I gave you my best, one hundred percent of me. READ MORE HERE.
