''Forever the Sickest Kids'' is the second self-titled studio album from American pop punk band Forever the Sickest Kids, released on March 1, 2011. It is their last release through Universal Motown Records, and also last to feature members Kent Garrison and Marc Stewart. ==Background== During the writing of the songs, a five-piece EP entitled ''The Weekend: Saturday'' was originally intended for the next release from the band, as part of their continuation of their previous release, ''The Weekend: Friday''. However, numerous songs were written and it was decided to release a full length album instead of the EP. When speaking about the album, vocalist Jonathan Cook stated, "This is like, a year and a half in the making with some different planning. We thought we might put it out as an EP, five songs a piece. And then, we just started writing more and more songs, before you knew it we had eleven songs that we were passionate about. So, we're like, "Why not put it out as a full-length album?". The first single released from the album, "Keep On Bringing Me Down", was released on September 14, 2010. The track listing and album artwork were later revealed on the band's website when the album was made available for pre-order. On their tour during December, the band began to perform the songs "I Guess You Can Say Things Are Getting Pretty Serious" and "Life of the Party." On February 11, 2011, the band released an instrumental version of the track, "What Happened to Emotion? (Killing Me)" on their official YouTube account. Three days later, the track "Forever Girl" was also released from their YouTube account. In June 2011, "I Guess You Can Say Things Are Getting Pretty Serious" was released as the second single, with a music video released by the band. A month later, the track "Summer Song" was released as the third single and was also followed by a music video. This album is also the last to feature keyboardist Kent Garrison and guitarist Marc Stewart. Garrison's departure was announced on January 10, 2011, stating he wanted to "pursue other opportunities."〔(Kent Garrison Leaves FTSK )〕 Stewart's announcement of leaving the band was put on his Twitter account on September 22, 2011. The band later confirmed his departure, due to his recent marriage. The band's friend and crew member, Rico Garcia, became a touring member to replace Stewart during performances.〔(Marc Stewart Leaves FTSK )〕 The band later stated that Garrison and Stewart had both planned on heading back to college as further reasons for leaving the band.〔(Alt Press Interview )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forever the Sickest Kids (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
