AMERICAN SONGWRITER: “Julian” Premiere
“Seemingly straight out of the heyday of MTV where musical creativity was championed and visual, abstract ingenuity was king, it’s almost a toss up as to which is more fun, the video or the song itself"
"Forget the year of fire the world has been walking through, Forty Feet Tall succeeds in moving us all past that. If just for a moment, “Julian” reminds us that it’s time to get back to having fun, and doom and gloom only has a temporary hold."
TINNITIST: Indie Roundup | 58 Numbers For Your Weekend Soundtrack
“With visuals that are equal parts Beastie Boys’ Sabotage, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and the Emilio Estevez ‘80s flick Repo Man — and music that could be either be straight out of the Pacific Northwest or Sheffield, England — the new video Julian by Forty Feet Tall is a high-stakes pursuit across different urban landscapes featuring different modes of transportation for a briefcase with mysterious contents.”
ROCK YOUR LYRICS
“Formed in 2011 by a bunch of scrappy 15 year olds from Los Angeles, Forty Feet Tall smushed together the alternative rock, grunge and classic rock they were weaned on and molded it into a frenetic and angular blend that twists and turns unexpectedly, bringing back the danger into the current, flaccid music world.”
“Bracketed and riff-based and aggressive with enough pop melodies to hold it together, Forty Feet Tall’s music is bursting with unbridled youthful enthusiasm and precise musical chops.”
