“Not The One” is a short snappy sharp riff driven tune which shows Forge Hounds can also write the perfect pop rock single. Think Cheap Trick meets ZZ Top with a hint of Ramones and you're getting close. If “Damned If You Don't” was their thought-provoking debut musical statement “Not The One” sees the band move things in a more radio friendly direction. “Not The One” is a slight disagreement set to song. Two guys claim neither of them upset a particular woman dear to both of them. She might have been their lover, mother, sister - whoever. Now she’s gone and the boys are left to make their case for which of them caused her the most upset - without either of them accepting responsibility for whatever it is they did or didn’t do. It was recorded and engineered by Brendan Carthy at Orchard Studios, Enniscorthy and mixed and mastered by Frankie McClay at Einstein Studios, Antrim. The supporting video was shot at Electric Avenue in Waterford by Colin Shanahan of Digicol Photography and Media Productions. more

Maybe a bit cliche, this is basically a song about writer's block. At the time, coming out of a stretch of having no inspiration or motivation to make music, it ended up being this song that turned things around. The title "Fine" comes from the feeling that I didn't have any exciting experiences or extreme highs and lows to pull inspiration from. Every time I'd try to write it felt like I was trying to stretch as much as possible to make the mundane feel even remotely exciting, but in the end I'd find myself not having anything interesting to say. So yea, probably a cliche idea, but I think it's a fun song!more
