CD Review: Foreveratlast – “Ghosts Again” (Victory)
Sophomore slump be damned. Foreveratlast’s Ghosts Again, an explosive smattering of
nostalgic mid-aughts anthemic punk reminiscent of Aiden, I Am Ghost and Story
of the Year, casts off any such predeterminations almost immediately. Ghosts Again is brash and unapologetic,
sunset strip and Motley Crue-esque (“Mr. Whitecoat”), though for the most part
the album is all about driving emphatic riffs and pristine hooks making for one
soaring anthem after another ("Bad Blood," "Ghosts in the
Attic," "The Observatory," "The Cardboard Rule"). While
frontwoman Brittany Paris channels All We
Know Is Falling-era Hayley Williams on tracks like "Machines" and
"One and the Same," Foreveratlast is not your typical female fronted
band, no, they're oh so much more. If you're a longtime post hardcore fan then
this record will bring a smile to your face.
