Retrospective by Forstella Ford

First released in 2003, here is the original description of this collection:

Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Forstella Ford continues to be one of the hardest working bands in independent music. Relentless touring and songwriting have left them with a loyal following that spans three continents and they show absolutely no sign of slowing down. Restrospective: 1997-2000 features a historical look at the band and offers fans a chance to hear long out of print material, and novices the opportunity to start from the beginning.

Towering drums and driving guitars mark Forstella Ford’s music with a passion and intensity that borders on sonic virtuosity. Melodic and reflective one moment, fierce and raucous the next, Forstella Ford will train the listener’s ear to find new meaning through each listen. This retrospective is a monumental assemblage of material that maps out the origin as well as the future of one of the most talented bands around today.
