 If Incubus and U2 had a child, who then reproduced with the offspring of Jimmy Eat World and Foo Fighters, the end product would be Facing Forward... and a lot of questions. The most obvious one being: "Don't you need a female somewhere in there to make that possible?"

Their sound was born when brothers Ryan and Colin Greshock collaborated with drummer Nicola Palazzo and bass player, Kieran Walker.

It was probably one of the hardest things any of us have had to do, but it gave us a true lesson in what being in a band is all about,” says Ryan about making the record. The band has been through a lot, and learned some hard lessons in the process. But one thing keeps them going strong, and that is the music they make together. This year seems to be promising for Facing Forward. With a new sound and new management, the possibilities seem endless.
