Synopsis

Product Description
Hailing from Peoria, Illinois, THE FORECAST exploded onto the indie rock circuit in 2003 with their insane live performances alongside bands including PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS, HEY MERCEDES and MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK. They quickly earned a rabid following in Peoria and the Midwest as word spread. With respect to their predecessors, THE FORECAST give the genre a well deserved ass kicking, ratcheting up the intensity and doing away with any pretension. Inspired by influential bands such as BRAID, RAINER MARIA and THE GET UP KIDS, their sound is solid beyond their years. Since their inception in 2002, THE FORECAST have played over 200 shows and entered the studio with AJ Mogis (CURSIVE, BRIGHT EYES, THE FAINT) in 2003 to record their debut EP, Proof Of Impact. The passion and sincerity of their approach attracted the attention of Victory Records and plans for Late Night Conversations began.

The forecast looks bright and sunny for today.

"Review by Mike Watson:



With the recent slew of Victory Records releases, not to mention the wide variety; one can be to say the least skeptical of any of their assortment of new releases. However, picking through all of the less notable releases from the label, the up-and-coming band, The Forecast, have stepped to the plate and scored a home run on Late Night Conversations. The Forecast are a perfect blend of male and female vocals over a very modern rock soundtrack, executed flawlessly over a ten song full length.



Late Night Conversations is an album confronting different topics ranging from relationships to the teen trend of mutilation and loathing. The harmonies arranged by both vocalists are undeniably catching and well written and the music follows closely in suit leaving your head bobbing back and forth to the beat and your feet tapping almost involuntarily. The Forecast is not only a great recorded band, but bring the same toe tapping energy to the stage, with both great stage presence and cohesion as a band. The Forecast will defiantly be one of the new big bands in poppier rock music, and checking their Victory Records debut out is a must for fans of the genre."
Victory records gets a hit with this one!

"with victory records, it seems like the bands and albums they release are either hit or miss (not to mention, how they false advertise with their band comparisons). i would have to say they got a hit with the band "the forecast". after listening to this record, it's not nothing incredibly ground-breaking or new yet i still can't really find anyone to compare them to. i do know that it's a fairly solid record with a fresh/exciting sound. the vocals are duel, with a guy singing most of the notes but the girl shannon sings some of the songs choruses and let me tell you; she can sing! the forecast are starting to get a hype around them, and it's a deserving one. they're talented and they can produce some interesting music in an overcrowded scene. if you like emo/indie rock with a mix of male/female singing check these guys out. i'm sure we'll hear more from these guys in the future."
A great record
