Having faced numerous setbacks since moving to the UK from Italy in 2017, the band are finally in a position to build upon the promising underground success that saw them share the stage with the likes of Malevolence and Oceans Ate Alaska, as well as gathering hundreds of thousands of streams and views across streaming platforms with their single 'Vacant', all as a fully independent band.
The band comment: “'Naked' is an utter rollercoaster that varies from blast beats to slow ballad moments and tempo changes, all in a matter of seconds, and right from the very beginning! The vocal part is the glue that keeps all of these emotions together and keeps them from clashing.
"The song is clearly a love letter: resentment, anger, sadness, forgiveness and then love again, are all very perceivable feelings for the listener, especially for melodic hardcore and emo/post-rock lovers. The track has a one-minute long outro, that is necessary to recover from such emotional damage that the song has caused, leaving the listener to imagine the finale of their own story."
Forecast are a melodic hardcore band, blending hardcore sounds akin to Counterparts and It Prevails with melodic rock arrangements. Formed in Rome in 2013 and now based in London, the band released an EP in 2015 called Good Times Until They Become Good Memories, and later released the single 'Vacant' (2016) - the latter reaching over 400,000 views on YouTube. The band now have more than 500,000 streams on Spotify, and are back with a new concept EP titled Utopia, out today, 6th October. Forecast have shared stages with the likes of Hawthorne Heights, Malevolence, Kublai Khan, Kingdom Of Giants, In Her Own Words, and Oceans Ate Alaska.
