Forgetters / Blake Schwarzenbach

[jrmy]

I just found out that Blake Schwarzenbach's new band Forgetters has an album out and an EP! And that they'll be playing Providence in March!

Anybody else digging on this? I likes it. Go figure, it was recorded by J Robbins, like about 85% of my contemporary music collection...

on avondons recomendation
listened to some forgetters
not toget like sappy and douchy
but jawbreaker was always important to me
and forgetters wasnt cuttin it
to be fair ii kinda fell off during early jets t.b.
id still love to see them live just because
i saw jtb in like 98
and it was awesome
they opened up for modest mouse at tramps in nyc
if you think thats fucked
i saw fugazi and piebald
open up for new found glory hole in your butt
im gonna give forgetters another try though
it HAS to be good
should i ruin my relationship with my girl first
maybe im just too content now

It's a grower, for sure (TWCS), and if you didn't like the first JtB album, it could be tough going... not that this one sounds like that one, but there's a definite continuum going on. The first two songs aren't the most immediate tunes, either. I might jump to "O Deadly Death" or something in the middle if you're looking for a little pep. Lot's of themes of death, suicide, broken homes... you know, Blake's traditional stomping grounds. For some reason, I get the feeling he's been listening to a bunch of Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash. Good-times fellas.

Also, those are some awesome shows to have seen, for sure...
