Bio
Hailing from the once quiet town of Peoria, Illinois, The Forecast exploded onto the indie rock circuit in 2003. With their insane live performances alongside bands like Planes Mistaken For Stars, The Red Hot Valentines, Hey Mercedes, Motion City Soundtrack, the Jealous Sound, the Velvet Teen, and many more, they earned a rabid following not only in Peoria, but the Midwest in general.
With respect to their predecessors, The Forecast give the genre a well-deserved ass kicking, ratcheting up the intensity and doing away with any pretension. Just balls to the wall, in your face rock and roll. Inspired by bands like Braid, Rainer Maria and the Get Up Kids, their sound is solid beyond their years.
Since their inception in fall 2002 The Forecast has completed six tours. (playing almost 200 shows across the country) In the spring of 2003 they entered the studio with AJ Mogis (Cursive, Bright Eyes, the Faint) in Lincoln, NE and recorded an EP entitled “Proof of Impact” (1,500 copies sold). In the fall they tracked three more songs for a split with Montana based band The 1090 Club (1,200 copies sold) with little distribution the band has sustained itself by being on the road.
In November they will once again enter the studio with AJ Mogis to record a new full length, and hope to find a new home for it once it is completed.
