Interview : The Forecast

[Pat Marquez]

I will be interviewing The Forecast (http://www.absolutepunk.net/theforecast). Please leave any questions you may have for the band in the replies.

[Blake Solomon]

nice, i will think of some questions later.

[china white]

How does it feel being a band that seems to be overlooked by Victory, yet be the best band on the label?

Seriously, this band is so great and to see them after two fantastic records not gaining any great success is a shame.

What happened to former Forecast drummer Rhys Miller and why was he was kicked out of the band when Proof of Impact ep was there strongest effort to date.

[thebestkylever]

with the slew of recent victory re-releases that have been coming out lately (tjv, silverstein...), are there any plans to re-release or re-record anything from the pre-victory era? *cough* tiny star *cough*

what are their plans following the current tour?

[mybreakingpoint]

first off, you guys are amazing, and 'in the shadow...' is one of my favorite releases of the year.

second, how is it being one of the few bands with a female vocalist that has a significant part?

next, can we expect more alt-country oriented songs on the next album, as a few songs off the new one leaned in that direction, especially the slower and acoustic ones?

you guys sound great with everything you do, but i particularly love your alt-country moments. :)

I'm pretty sure Rhys quite the band on good terms. As far as "Proof Of Impact" it's a solid record like there others. However "In The Shadow Of Two Gunmen" has so many more memorable moments. If you haven' t checked it out please do.

if you're the dude behind the rad tap dance bitch shirts, you rule.

[radtapdance]

Yes I am thanks!

[Julia Conny]

yessssss!!! their debut was incredible.

[Chris Fallon]

After seeing Late Night Conversations overlooked by your label and the public, how do you feel about being overlooked almost on the same level with the new record? I mean, it's incredibly tight and brilliant, yet your label seemingly ignores it and has since it's release. What the hell?

[mr chainsaw]

I really like this band except when the lady sings...she is horrible...she ruins songs...she shouldnt sing lead.

[macademiasnuts]

Some/all the band members have an ambulance tattoo, what is the meaning behind it?

[Kotz1]

I loved your in-store show in Upstate NY a few weeks ago, but you deserve much better. Would you jump to a major if you were given the opportunity?

Good question.

[ChasP0780]

While we're on the topic of tattoos, ask Shannon which Powerpuff Girl is her favorite haha.

Annnnnd ask her why she decided to get braces during a time when she'd be singing in a band. I mean, it sounds like a dumb question. But! It's a pretty risky move if you ask me (if I was in her situation, I wouldn't have done it). Haha I would've been too afraid of having a little lisp =/
