Musical Influences Teenage Fanclub, The Posies, Wilco, Neil Young, The Replacements and Gram Parsons

Artist History Founded by singer-songwriter Anthony Bautovich from trans-Pacific pop ensemble The Orange Humble Band, and surrounded by some of Sydney's finest players, The Forresters debut release 'Skindeep' spans the musical spectrum from power pop to blues tinged soul, alt. country to straight ahead rock'n'roll. Nick Kennedy (Big Heavy Stuff) on drums and Steve Balbi (Universe) on bass provide a rich and powerful canvas on which textures faithful to a traditional music form yet original in their use have been absorbed. Matt Galvin (Eva Trout) chimes in with some sublime power pop guitar work. Cameron Bruce (The Polaroids) on piano and organ augments the guitars with some heartfelt tinkling. Melbourne based guitarist Charlie Owen's (Dark Horses) raw boned yet beautiful dobro playing and blistering electrics are a highlight. With tender melodies, wonderful chord progressions, and a command of a particular sound, The Forresters surrender to these intricately crafted and emotionally honest songs, leaving the listener with a warm and satisfying glow. There is a timeless essence to the sound of this record and on first listen one might get the feeling that they have stumbled across a lost 70's country pop gem. Laden with hooks and harmonies that often reach Byrdsian proportions, 'Skindeep' is filled with songs that not only grab a hold of you but refuse to let you go.
