Almost 1 year ago, @foresthills_band and I released our first music video - for our song Introvert. We also released several lyric videos for the other songs off our first album, but Introvert by far has gotten the most attention (currently at 1.5k views!) Very excited to announce that we have scheduled our next music video to release on August 7th at 12pm EST for one of the songs off our second album "Renegade" - and we'll be recording another music video later today! This last year has been super busy and filled with things like moving cross-country, switching studio spaces, job shifts, recording gear upgrades, livestreams, and much more! It's been a wild journey and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. Hopefully there's a bit of nostalgia in our upcoming music video for "Blame", because some of the shots were done in the very same forest that Introvert was filmed in!! ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2_pDOFeKk/?igshid=8yvf8iw1jumx

These tshirts are so fun to make! Here's how we paint them: first, I trace our FH logo design on a hard-plastic sheet. Then, I cut out the shape, and we tape it over with duct tape to make it extra hefty and secure. Next, we lay all the shirts flat on a tarp so that the ground doesn't get dirty, and then place the plastic stencil on top of a shirt. After the stencil is rested on the shirt, and making sure it's straight etc, I paint on the shirt! The bit of the shirt where the stencil covers is not painted, creating a "negative" design where the entire shirt is painted except our logo. We think it looks pretty cool - especially since we use a combo of white & blue paint! What do you think? ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1jE60l8rH/?igshid=owz4sletqfd1

If you watch this video, you will se a very gay moment at which two boys kiss. Here's some behind the scenes of us walking to another shooting location, while we were shooting a music video then other day! This video will be for Blame, a song off our second album. we'll also be recording more music videos for the album, but wanted to start off with Blame since you guys have heard it already and it got a good response. The video is already in the editing process, and will be ready to publish soon, along with the rest of the album, which comes out August 1st!! ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CCy_Iesg-FO/?igshid=cwip4mgisqo1

Slightly desaturated photos of the two vests Zero painted for Jack recently! The first slide is art based off one of the t-shirt designs in our GoFundMe, and the second slide used the same stencil we use to paint our handmade shirts! Which vest do you like better? Do you have your Forest Hills merch yet, or do we need you hook you up? 50% of our handmade merch profits go to charity, or you can head to our GoFundMe using the link in our bio to donate (and receive rewards for donating such as free music, merch, etc!) and help us get professionally printed t-shirts! 35% of the profits from our printed shirts will get donated :) as we sell more merch, we'll eventually be able to increase the amount! ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjNEIYAx3Y/?igshid=f9u6l0r2ojkh

Like we said in our last post, Zero drew our logo! Here's a time lapse of him digitizing our first logo design. Our logo has had slight changes ever since, but still very easily recognizable from this first official draft. What do you like about our logo? ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CCM_7zeAZzD/?igshid=ck5ed5aaqls3

Fun Fact: Zero drew the logo for our band (although if you know our band, you probably know that already!). Zero does all the graphic design for our band, including logos, album covers, merch, etc. When he was designing our band's logo, he first started with sketching the letters on paper. He started with the "F" first, and created a gothic looking F that resembled an axe/sword in a lot of ways. From there, he made sketches for the remaining letters, and came up with the idea to combine the T and the H to form a cross with arrows. The blue shapes behind our logo came last - they were not as intuitive to draw initially, but Zero knew the logo needed something extra to help balance it out and make it look finished. After about 30 drafts, we ended up here! We love our logo, don't you? ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMIWmRAfc-/?igshid=1l3pcdmctif3y

Here's a video of Zero drafting our album cover for Renegade! Zero does all the graphic design for our band, including our logo, icons, show flyers, album art, merch, and more! Did you know he has an AA in graphic design and went to art school for 10 years when he was growing up? Oh, and a fun fact: the hands that say "Renegade" are Jack's - and he actually does have Renegade tattooed on his knuckles! Zero just went over them to make the lettering more clean and clear for the album; but the tattoos are very much real! What other stuff do you wonder about Renegade / Forest Hills ? ☆ ☆ ☆ #foresthills #foresthillsband #foresthillsofficialband #fhband #fhbands #zerosurico #whoizjackburton #music #musicians #undergroundmusic #nycmusicians #rockmusic #metal #numetal #alternative #emo #goth #musician #rockband #alternative #punkrock #newmusic #artist #singer #drummer #bands #duo #grunge #nyc #metalband https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJ-qOfJsWc/?igshid=1adaukzg8qf00
