Labels: Solidarity Recordings
Review by: David Giles
I’ve played this CD on two separate occasions now and both times turned it off before track five. I don’t see any reason to put myself through it again so I’m going to write this blind/by memory. A promo sheet that came with this CD described Run Forever as “a hardworking, tight-knit DIY band”. This is on the promo sheet written by the “DIY promotion and publicity company’ Beatrap PR. Does anyone else see a contradiction here at all? I’ve definitely encountered Beartrap PR press sheets before and I swear down they make me so mad that I want to treat the CD with the contempt it deserves and fast track it to my kitchen bin “” do not pass go, do not collect review. If I wasn’t writing for someone else’s site I’d do just that. I might even return to sender. Well, here’s the only extremely brief stop on the express route to garbage town, David’s house: this band play boring “punk rock’, the singer wants to sound like Bright Eyes but instead sounds like a boy from my school called Matthew who I hated, there’s a smidge of twee east coast fanzine handholders but not enough to justify it to even the twee east coast fanzine handholders. I thought it was shit. My brother thought it was shit. BINNED.
