Brand new Indie rock band, Fora, releases their debut EP, The Gathering. Hailing from Salinas, Calif., this three-piece band has a lot to offer. With a melodic rock sound and a heart for ministry, Fora is on the right path for engaging audiences and gaining new fans.
First track, "Alive," introduces listeners to the band's melodic rock sound and pure tenor vocals. With electric guitars and drums, this track has a definite rock vibe, but the vocal melodies and soft beats are easy on the ears.
"Guardian" has a higher-energy and harder rock feel. With more of a punk rock vibe, as well as a vocal chorus in the background, this track shows the diversity of the band.
First single, "Breakdown," starts off with quiet guitar plucks and vocals. As the song builds, so does the energy. The lyrics are from the perspective of God speaking to us, reminding us that He's always been there and "I love you more than you'll ever know." This track shows the capacity these young musicians have for writing lyrics aimed at encouraging listeners on their path with God.
Closing Thoughts:
All in all, this is a good first effort by Fora and they show great promise for the future. Fans of Indie rock will definitely want to take a listen to this band and keep a close eye on what's coming next from them. View All Music And Book Reviews By KellyS | View KellyS's Profile
