Forever The Sickest Kids biography
Forever the Sickest Kids is an American pop punk band from Dallas, Texas, who have yet to be signed to a new label after the closure of Universal Motown Records. In issue 228 of Alternative Press, the group was named the number one underground band in the "22 Best Underground Bands". Their first EP, Television Off, Party On, was released on July 3, 2007. Their debut album, Underdog Alma Mater, was later released on April 29, 2008. The first part of their new three-part mini-LP (a collection entitled 3P), The Weekend: Friday, was released on November 17, 2009, with their newest, self-titled album released on March 1, 2011.
While browsing PureVolume, lead singer Jonathan Cook accidentally spent $350 that the band did not have to receive a front page placement of a song that they also did not have. For this reason, they went into the studio and wrote "Hey Brittany", then recorded it with their producer Geoff Rockwell in a matter of days. Since it was first posted, "Hey Brittany" has garnered many Internet plays and triggered a bidding war among eight record labels. On April 24, 2007, Universal Motown emerged victorious, and released the band's Television Off, Party On EP on July 3. The releases of The Sickest Warped Tour EP and the Hot Party Jams would soon follow. The band's first single, "Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)", was released on April 20, 2008. Their debut album Underdog Alma Mater was later released on April 29, and their second single, "She's a Lady" was released on July 14.
Along with the musical acts Matches and Sonny, The band supported All Time Low and The Rocket Summer on the 2008 Alternative Press tour from March 14 to May 2. The band played with Metro Station, The Cab, Danger Radio and The Maine on their first headlining tour, and later performed on the 2008 Vans Warped Tour. They appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on June 12, performing their single "Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)". The band then headed to Tokyo, Japan to perform at the annual Summer Sonic Festival. In late September, the band undertook a brief headlining tour in the UK, after Cobra Starship, the original headliners, postponed their tour. The band also held the Sassy Back tour throughout October and November with Cobra Starship, Hit the Lights, and Sing it Loud.
