Michael Fordays-Here at the Gates
Michael Fordays can remind you of your first favourite rock song. Perhaps generations later than that started thinking the genre is stale. Not Michael, for he knows the kind of memories that have rang out in his head. Like Bon Jovi for the current generation, he makes songs that have a lasting impact and melodic retention for years. This is called Here at the Gates. The song has a quick and catchy chord progression, which Michael Fordays layers in his own signature style. It captures his flowing energy, has the kind of resolve with which he started playing music. That booming sound with his rhyming, snappy lyrics make quite the vibe of the song, the kind you would play Tony Hawk to. The musical break is generous, tonally changes the flavour of the song and has a kick-ass percussive pairing with it. It might even remind you of the song by Chumbawumbas. It's truly incredible to see Michael improve like this and make a manifesto of songwriting that suits his style so well. He has carried the flow of the song in his own unique way, vocals being memorable and addictive. Michael Fordays is at his best, composing songs that have a retro wrapper and sugar kick from modern times. This would be a great add in the movie The Fall Guy (2023). He is able to capture what his strengths are, but is never afraid of experimenting with sounds and some styles. The punk rock style like in Can’t Stop, Tom Petty like flair in Weighing is what makes his music so different and memorable. Follow him and check out his single above!
