专辑介绍：
◎Forever The Sickest Kids是来自美国达拉斯的新晋乐队，由六个充满活力的年轻男生组成，单单是看乐队名字就可猜想到这又是一支U.S.青年式乐队。由搞怪的乐队名称就可以估计到他们的歌曲风格是比较青春活力的（实际上也是很积极向上的呀！）。
◎该乐队于今年年初推出第一张专辑《Forever the Sickest Kids》，歌曲以年轻人之间的话题为创作主旨，每一条歌曲都充满着独特而不重复的旋律，其强烈的节奏感和让人意想不到的旋律让人一听就立刻被吸引，该专辑一经发售就收到广泛好评...

Forever the Sickest Kids is a band from Dallas, Texas signed to Universal Motown Records Group. They played on Warped Tour this past summer (2007) from July 18 to August 10. Their first EP, "Television Off, Party On" was released in early 2007.
Success in the music business requires a magical combination of talent, perseverance and opportunity. The six young rockers in Dallas, Texas band Forever the Sickest Kids easily possess all this and more. They're unquestionably gifted, ambitious and hard working, and in the eight months since they formed, they've repeatedly created their own opportunities - sometimes accidentally. Five days after their official formation, singer Jonathan Cook was flipping through the Pure Volume web site when, with a click of his mouse, he inadvertently spent $350 the band didn't have on a front page song placement. Worse still, Forever the Sickest Kids didn't have any songs written yet. So, over the next two days, the band members got together and banged out a track called "Hey Brittany," then recorded it with their friend/producer Jeff Rockwell. "Buying that Pure Volume spot was an amazingly great mistake," laughs guitarist Caleb Turman, noting how "Hey Brittney" quickly becoming the band's first big break. "The song just took off and after that everyone was suddenly interested in us." It's easy to see why. "Hey Brittany" is a confectionary gem that combines elements of power pop, pop-punk, electro-pop and `80s radio rock into an unforgettable sing-along that resonates with the energy and vitality of youth. Contrary to popular belief, "Brittany" isn't Britney Spears, but rather a girl who was engaged to be married, yet made no attempt to hide her affection for the members of the Forever the Sickest Kids. Since it was first posted, "Hey Brittany" has garnered over 2.5 million Internet plays and triggered a bidding war between eight major labels. Motown emerged victorious, and recently released the band's EP Television Off, Party On, which features five fizzy, electric songs that should whet listener's appetites until the band's full-length debut comes out in March 2008.
Like "Hey Brittany" Forever The Sickest Kids' other songs tap into a place where boundless exuberance meets romantic disillusionment, and while the music is hardly a downer, it echoes with some bittersweet life lessons. "Believe Me I'm Lying," starts acoustic and builds with syncopated electronic beats, then busts into an exuberant, guitar-blaring pop song with yearning lyrics ("Go ahead and cry yourself to sleep and think how you hate me so bad). The sugar rush of "She's a Lady" is even more biting, as Cook sings, "I'm in love with a critic and a skeptic/ a traitor, I'd trade her in a second" over a bed of fist-in-air guitars and slithery synth lines.
