Forever Can Wait – ‘Beauty&Grace’ EP Review

Forever Can Wait – ‘Beauty&Grace’ EP Review

Tracklist
  1.  Beauty&Grace
  2.  P&Q
  3.  Rest
  4. Release
  5. Excuses
  6. Hopes&Dreams
          Southampton based rockers Forever Can Wait are finally set to release their EP ‘Beauty&Grace’ on 27th November after a busy year performing at Download Festival, Edge Fest and playing their first ever headline show as well as creating ties with MTV and Kerrang!
          The headlining track is a promising start to the EP with singer Tash Crump demonstrating her mind-blowing vocal abilities. Although she may lack the brutality and feistiness of other female vocalists such as Lzzy Hale, it’s evident that she doesn’t need an in-your-face persona to leave a lasting impression. ‘P&Q’ is undoubtedly the best song on the album with riffs that will get stuck in your head for days and catchy lyrics that you’ll be singing in the shower after you’ve had it on repeat for far too long. Debut single ‘Rest’ and second single ‘Excuses’ have been commended on Alex Baker’s ‘Kerrang Radio Unsigned Show’ and it’s clear why. Both tracks boast powerful instrumentals and Liam Baker’s talented guitar-playing skills take the limelight in ‘Excuses’, helping set the sober tone in the bitter love song. ‘Hopes&Dreams’ is an explosive finale to the EP and tells the world that they’re ready to conquer and they’re not going to take any of your bullshit. Rightly so.
         Forever Can Wait show definite potential with this EP and it’s difficult not to admire the band; they’ve created their own style of alt-rock with Tash’s distinctive voice and interesting chord structures that will help them carve their names in the music industry. All of this being said, there’s only one more question to ask – what’s with the lack of spaces?
