The Forresters are a Sydney band that combine a melodic power-pop sound with a light Americana touch that recalls everyone from Tom Petty, Wilco and The Jayhawks to fellow locals Fallon Cush.

‘I Need To Know’ is a brief two and half minute song but they cut to chase quickly finding the melodic sweet spot at its core with piano, dobro and Hammond B3 organ and balancing it with the guest backing vocal of Emma Swift.

Led by Anthony Bautovich, also of the pop ensemble, The Orange Humble Band, The Forresters are working towards the release of their second album next April, mixed by US producer Mitch Easter.
