First/Last-Forebear

"The musicians in Forebear mold together their eclectic influences into a surreal listening experience and an energetic live show. "Forebear balances the line between light and dark, hard and soft...rock and classical. You'd think, for a band, that would sound disastrous but Forebear seamlessly marries these elements together and somehow makes it work. And it's mesmerizing."

Forebear is an alt-rock quartet from L.A. who's upcoming EP "Cody" will be out later this year. They recently debut a second track from it over at Consequence of Sound. You can stream the first track below. As you enjoy, I want to thank Scott Goldbaum (Guitar/Lead Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Any thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?
Running back Jerome "The Bus" Bettis was my reason for choosing the Steelers as my go-to Madden 98 football team on Playstation One. A lot of warm hearted nostalgia when I think of the Steelers in the context of competitive video games of the late 90s.

Thanks, Scott. Diggin' the love for Andrew Gold. He was all over the radio when I was a kid in the 70's.
