Forest Falls EP

Jeremy, Jamie, Hayley, Jon, Gabe and Shaun are a group of best friends from Melbourne who play indie-pop music. Together we make up Forest Falls. Over the past couple years we have had some great success; releasing an EP, achieving radio play Australia-wide and subsequently touring. We have met some sterling bands, industry peeps and new friends, and have well and truly decided this is our dream - to write, record and play music forever and ever.

Our last EP, Julia, was a great conerstone that fortified our songwriting, mateship and live act. It was our first release and gave us the self-belief to invest more time and money to create a follow-up EP. For the new six-song EP we pooled our personal savings to record with five-time ARIA award winning producer, Wayne Connolly. We are so happy with the way the songs have come out, we now have our own lush, refined sound with that iconic Wayne Connolly stamp. We have so much love, excitement and momentum but we can't make it on our own.

Whether you've come to our shows, listened to the tracks or are just finding us for the first time, we need your help to finish the EP and to push it to as many people as pozible!
How The Funds Will Be Used
Here is our budget breakdown:
Online and radio distribution - $2,500
Marketing/promotion/PR - $5,000
Finalising artwork/duplication of Physical E.P. - $2,000
Music vIdeo - $2,500
Mastering -$1,400
National tour - $3,000
You may notice this total exceeds our Pozible goal of $10,000. This is because we will continue to invest, but time is of the essence. To release the EP this year as planned we need your help and the $10,000 would give us the leg up to make it all happen. We will use every cent to further the band and would be extremely grateful if we reach or exceed our goal.
