There
are two previously reviewed bands that I have been thinking about while
listening to We Are Forever. They remind me of Sunderland because I am very aware
of their youthfulness. There is an plaintive earnestness that especially comes
through in Aren Andersen's vocals.
At
the same time, there is a kind of a punk feeling to their riffs, reminding me
of Atlantic Aftermath. So, perhaps this is earnest, bright-eyed punk.
Technically, though, they list themselves as pop/rock.
A
good example of how the different elements work together can be found on
"Half Awake", probably my favorite track off of 2013 release To Be
Alive.
Some
other tracks are more downbeat, like "Forget the Sun" or
"Goodbye My Hero", making it seem like the band has grown more
serious since making a wrestling video for "Take My Hand", off of Lights.
Still, there's that intro on "Say My Name." They'll work out the
right balance.
