Forever Ends Here – Sounds of Oz

I am such a sucker for a pop-punk anthem and “Unspoken”, the latest single from Eora/Sydney trio Forever Ends Here is right up there with the best. Crank that volume, press play, and enjoy this one!

“Unspoken is about the realisation that you left it too long to open up to someone and missed the window to be together – knowing the other person felt the same, but you both left it unspoken and ended up in different places,” vocalist Luke McChesney shared. “I had to channel my teen self to match the energy of a coming-of-age pop-punk track, and I think this is something we all experienced in some capacity growing up. The secret crush that we’ll probably never talk about.”

This sound feels so fresh and youthful, but these guys actually started making music together more than a decade ago. However, after some time off between 2018 and 2023, they’re sounding better than ever.

“It really feels as though we’ve finally found our sound, all of these years later,” Luke said. “Last year was about the reunion, focusing on the pre-hiatus memories and reminding ourselves of why we started this band. Unspoken marks the beginning of the new FEH. We’re treating this like a new band now. Our new baby. We’re more in love with the music than we’ve ever been before and we hope that shows.”
I’m hearing that there’s more new music where this came from, with the band planning a larger release later this year. Bring it!

After a five-year hiatus, Eora/Sydney act Forever Ends Here are making a return to the music scene. Their comeback single “Cherry Chapstick” is an infectious pop-punk track that you’ll find yourself singing long after its last notes fade out.

“The reunion has been in the works for quite some time now,” explained the band’s songwriter and vocalist, Luke McChesney. “We always thought we’d do some kind of one-off club show to celebrate 10 years of our second EP, but we got talking last year about all the things we miss about the band and all the possibilities if we reopened the door. We’ve done a lot of growing since the band split, not only as people but as songwriters too and it seems a shame not to share that growth with the people who stuck by us.”

Talking about “Cherry Chapstick,” he explained that “lyrically the song is about being involved with someone who you know is playing you, and playing them right back – ‘I can be your cherry chapstick, pressed against your lips ’til you lose me. You can keep me in your pocket, you always look your best when you use me’”.
