Brisbane rock act Forever the Optimist will take their new single “Revolutions” to the masses next month, following plenty of local and American radio love.
It’s easy to see why radio stations at home and in the States are digging this track. I appreciate that the band built it beautifully rather than going for the jugular from the outset. It’s dark and moody and oh-so satisfying.
Forever the Optimist will be joined on their local dates by a who’s who of local alt-rock and prog acts including Sydonia, Engine, Shinobi, Self is a Seed, and a very special guest for their Brisbane show which the band is keeping under its collective hat.
