THE FORGOTTEN
THE FORGOTTEN
(TKO)
Sprightly US street punk
4/5
San Jose street punks the Forgotten have been doing the rounds, and doing some damned fine work, since 1997, but this self-titled album is certainly their best release to date. Produced by Rancid's Lars Frederiksen (not Tim Armstrong, as stated on the press release), who also chipped in with some guitar and backing vocals and co-wrote brooding closing track 'Endless Parade', this is pretty slick stuff, but never lacking in spirit or bite.
