Forensics – “You Don’t Have to Win, But You Have to Fight”
With a new EP release on Magic Bullet and an aggressive lineup, this show should be pretty outstanding. I saw Forensics last at the FEST and their new stuff really blew me away. For a band as heavy as they are there is a lot of intricate guitar work and sincerity. This isn’t a band going through the motions for the sake of pomp. Following is a selection from their CD/LP – “You Don’t Have to Win, But You Have to Fight”. This show tonight is a release party for it. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and it has been in heavy rotation, the vinyl mastering is exquisite too (if you care about such things).
Interview : Worn in Red
Worn in Red is one of the best bands in Charlottesville that you probably haven’t heard of. I’ve been following them since 2004, after the demise of Brad and Brendan’s previous band Skyline Awake. Their new album ‘In the Offing’ was just released on No Idea Records and things are really starting to take off for them. I had the opportunity to conduct an email interview with the guys while they’re preparing for a string of CD release shows (they are playing in Charlottesville this Saturday 11/21 at Random Row Books). In addition to being some of the nicest guys you’ll ever come across they are passionate about their music, their direction, and (apparently) David Lee Roth.
