review by Jennifer

The much-anticipated release of Foremost’s second CD Overture was welcomed with a smashing success at La Sala Rosa last Friday night. Opening band, Bullmoose, rocked the socks off the crowd for almost an hour with killer tunes and some awesome covers too.

A hard act to follow, but with much added anticipation, Foremost blew the crowd away with their very unique funky rock sound. This trio has created a style that is hard to define but definitely has remnants of classic Canadian guitar and bass lines emanating from bands such as Blue Rodeo and BNL. These guys also have the lyrical style of some of Canada’s top contemporary poets including The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downey and Phil Hall. This mélange combines to unfold more then simply a musical act, but an art form in itself.

And as with all true art, clear definitions are always blurred and subject to interpretation, so check Foremost out for yourself at www.foremostband.com
