Forgetters

Forgetters were a three-piece indie/alternative band from Brooklyn, New York that were active from 2009 to 2014. The band was formed by guitarist/vocalist Blake Schwarzenbach, best known as a member of Jawbreaker and Jets To Brazil, drummer Kevin Mahon, who was the drummer for Against Me! pre-Reinventing, and bassist Caroline Paquita (later replaced by Michelle Proffit). Forgetters were created in the wake of Blake's short-lived project Thorns Of Life, and put out one EP in 2010 and an LP in 2012. Sonically, the band are pretty hard to pin down. There are flashes of Jawbreaker-esque moments in Blake's vocal cadence and melodic chord patterns (especially on the EP). On other tracks, they schew towards a psych-garage rock sound, with a raw delivery and production. Even that descriptor feels like an over-simplification, as each song offers something new. They were short-lived, and though they may not hit the highs of the aforementioned bands, are still worth a check out in their own right. Enjoy.
