“...one of the strongest albums to come out of San Francisco this year.”
The Huffington Post – July 2011 by Robin Wilkey
"These guys have something you haven’t really heard or seen before. In the midst of this unique awesomely ear tingling sound there’s an incredible pop sensibility the gets everyone bobbing their head, shaking their ass, wiggling their toes…whatever it is you do when you hear great music, you’ll do it when you hear Forrest Day. The best part of this whole story is that these guys are only on their way up. They one of the most talented, hard working groups and they’re out there pounding the pavement proving themselves one show at a time. Each time the crowd grows, the band gets even better, and if you’re lucky you get to hear a couple new tunes."

  • "Bay Area musician Forrest Day is easily one of the most captivating individuals the cultural-rich locale has ever produced." "
    AbsolutePunk.net – Oct. 2011 by Gregory Robson

    “Idiosyncratic. Original. Novel. Call it whatever you like, but let this be known: Bay Area musician Forrest Day is easily one of the most captivating individuals the cultural-rich locale has ever produced. Yes, ever. Throw him in the mix with RHCP, Sublime, Jane's Addiction and Green Day, this genre-bending wizard is something else altogether. Self described as indie-soul-experimental, Day is a musician with more swagger than most hip-hop artists and more melodic flair than most chart-toppers. There's a dash of reggae, jazz, rap and rock that is indubitably unique and nothing short of mesmerizing. On his eponymous 14-song album there's boat loads of bravado, bluster and brilliance. And hot damn is it something.”

  • “An odd rap-rock pastiche that defies modernity and resists genre altogether.”
    East Bay Express, June 2010 by Rachel Swan

    "One would expect nothing less than a big bang from a singer who pounds his kick drum with a pair of mallets. That, he once said, is the only way to get "a really deep fuckin' groove." But drum fills and heavy crescendos are mere frosting on Forrest Day's new, limited-edition LP. It's an odd rap-rock pastiche that defies modernity and resists genre altogether."

  • "This is the sound of experimental indie rap universalizing its relevance."
    Kata Rokkar - Nov. 2011

    “This is the sound of experimental indie rap universalizing its relevance while compromising none of its tenets. With this debut, Forrest Day succeeds in concocting songs that are meticulously crafted enough for the heads but emotionally honest enough for those done with the over-saturated genres that just won’t die.”

  • “And the crowd? Well it goes wild, duh. And then Day picks up a sax, and launches into some sort of psychedelic jam session, if such things can include saxes.”

  • “Ever since the Bay-area artist blew me away with a performance at the Whisky, I’ve been a huge fan, and the release of his debut full length on October 11th just further reinforced what I already knew: this is an artist worth noticing.”
