About Me

..

as the post on the name change might have suggested, we are looking to move in a new direction. we're not the first band to do this, bands do it all of the time. maybe they don't change their names but they change their music. which is more important? what we're trying to get at is that bands are remembered for the things that really matter, not the things that come along with it.
we want to be remembered for our music just like every other band.
so... think of it as a spring clean. you keep the stuff that's really important, stuff like the four of us and our passion for making music. you also leave some stuff on the cutting room floor, in this case stuff like the name and the old songs. the likelyhood is that if you come to a gig from now on, you won't be hearing remember to forget, all your answers, blossom or my star.
but there's a reason for that. the four songs that are currently being mixed at amplisound are much better than what has gone before. in that sense they are not forgottenhopefuls songs. we are sure that when you hear them you will notice the difference... the subtleties, the intricacies, and the effort that we put into making every song as good as it could possibly be.
the things that were most important to forgottenhopefuls will remain important to us in the future. what's always meant most to us is your support, which is why we want to thank you for listening to our music online, buying our cds, buying our t-shirts, leaving us comments and messages and most importantly coming to our shows. we're not trying to change our fanbase, we're just trying to write the best music that we can and we want you to love it as much as we do.
the old songs are back up and available for download because the people who have supported us deserve to be able to hear the music that got us where we are now. and as amazing as it is to have people who like our old music, we're going to a new place and we're really fucking excited about it. we want you to come with us. as well as the four tracks on the way we have another two in the pipeline and the sky is the limit as far as we're concerned.
just like our graphic said - new songs, new site, new shit. just add new name, and a revived collective urge to musically make love to the world and we're all set to have some fun together.
