Behind the graceful Foreverinmotion tunes streaming out of my speakers is just one man, Brendon Thomas. Somewhere in the vicinity of three years ago, I was captivated by Foreverinmotion’s self-titled full-length; I wrote of it, “The music is slow yet powerful, ordered yet emotional, peaceful yet full of energy. Lyrically, each song brings more amazement. This is the kind of stuff that you sit down and wish you could write. Chock full of beautiful metaphors, Brendon uses the English language in a way that brings words to life.”

Rory has unleashed a new website to compliment their new full-length album, We’re Up To No Good, We’re Up To No Good, out today. The band will also soon be embarking on the “I Am 111 Tour� with labelmates This Day & Age, Rookie Of The Year, and Inkwell.

This Day & Age will be hitting the road in support of their new record The Bell & The Hammer, out October 10th on One Eleven/East West. They’ll be on the road for the rest of September with Amber Pacific followed by a headlining stint on the “I Am 111� tour which will feature four One Eleven/East West bands! TD&A, Rookie Of The Year, Inkwell and Rory.

Rookie of the Year; it would be easy to write them off as just another acoustic band, put their cd at the bottom of the pile and forget about them…that is, if you don’t listen to it first. The band, originally started as a solo project, has now released its full band debut, ‘The Goodnight Moon.’ Currently touring with acts like Hit The Lights, Dave Melillo and many other notables, they are steadily building a substantial fanbase and it’s easy to figure out why.
