For Tomorrows
Demo

review by Ruth


Track Listing:
Everything
Hello Song
Sing This For You
I Need You

Right place, right time; there's no denying it that it's the phenomenon that has ensured the success (and sometimes downfall) of many a band - just ask Fabulous Disaster. No matter how talented you are, how skilful your songwriting, your ability with words. If you're not there when they need you, you've no chance. Macclesfield boys For Tomorrows were the highpoint of one evening where I'd been invited by the headlining band who failed to impress. A couple of months later this their debut recording mixes Gigolo Aunts (complete with honey warm harmonies and healthy summer glow), Pink Floyd, skittish mellowed California punk and unfortunately *shudder* the northern school of Britpop. 'I Need You' seems to lose it at one point, going off into it's own little world and falling asleep in the middle, but the sublime vocals of 'Everything' make this a potential, if flawed, sunshine hit in the making.
