Finally some good news for 2020.
Beloved Texan neon pop group Forever The Sickest Kids revealed to their fans on Thursday that new music might be coming out soon. This marks the first time in seven years that the band put out any new material, their latest being 2013’s J.A.C.K., their only album with Fearless Records (The Almost, NOT A TOY, Volumes).
The news broke out after Alternative Press wrote an article about ten neon pop bands that need to reunite, which featured bands like Artist Vs Poet, The Friday Night Boys, and Cobra Starship. After the feature was published, both the band and frontman Jonathan Cook took to social media to break the good news. All the band said was, “watch out very soon!” On his account, Cook wrote, “We may not quite look like this anymore, and the odds are pretty bad that We ever will, but the odds are darn good that WE, Forever The Sickest Kids will be back active!”
To add some fuel to the fire, FTSK posted studio images back in April and May, jokingly asking fans if they wanted to hear Owl City, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, Tom DeLonge of Angels & Airwaves, Lil Wayne, or Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz on a song.
After dropping J.A.C.K., FTSK embarked that summer on the Vans Warped Tour, playing on the Tilly’s stage with The Summer Set, Goldfinger, and New Years Day, and the Kia Forte stage with Bring Me The Horizon, Sleeping With Sirens, and Chiodos. They went on hiatus for a few years, reuniting briefly in 2017 to play So What?! Music Festival with Cute Is What We Aim For, Ghostemane, and Mayday Parade and some dates on the 2019 Sad Summer Festival with State Champs, The Wonder Years, and Just Friends.
Stay tuned, Underdogs.
