Talking Forever

About

"Some of you may think emo died when record labels began slapping the name on albums by everyone from Taking Back Sunday to Say Anything. However it seems that the younger acts in this third wave really understand what the first wave was all about, and Houston's Talking Forever. Their debut album, My New Home, combined what bands like Braid and Mineral did 20 years ago without really lifting from either. Aside from their crushing live sets, this four-piece has already toured the country and set themselves up for a lifetime of riding in vans. "Cicadas" starts slow and melodic, leading into dual vocals before the band starts playing with an amp-blowing intensity far beyond their years. I saw the emo thing take off 20 years ago, and can safely say that bands like Talking Forever prove the genre isn't going away anytime soon. Their strengths are far from manufactured. While the band refers to their sound as alternative, it’s closer to third wave emo mixed with screamo elements, creating a sound that’s hard to ignore. On their debut release, My New Home, the four-piece creates a sound that’s familiar but also their own, and when they dig in, they’re digging deep." -David Garrick of Houston Press
