The Contrast is a guitar-pop / rock outfit from Peterborough, UK are back with their new release “forget to tell the time”. Gifted singer/songwriter/guitarist David Reid is both a songwriting machine and guitar virtuoso, backed by a pop driven band and pop gem filled record. “Forget to tell the time” certainly ended up being the most fun and exciting record that the band has ever made.
Lyrically, the title track is based on the idea that, although we are all spinning, out of control, through our lives we can make anything we want to happen if we just let go of our inhibitions and stop panicking, while key track "Adversity" acknowledges that there is always a lot of baggage in the way. "Ink" tells a story of the awful paranoia of amnesia in the face of a really bad hangover.
Forget to tell the time has hints of Bruce Springsteen and The Wonderstuff, think; Roxy Music and The Smithereens meets vintage Elvis Costello and Husker Du.
The Contrast have been embraced by Little Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band & Sopranos), receiving regular spins on his Sunday night radio program, Little Steven’s Underground Garage that is broadcast to over a million listeners in the United States & Canada.
