Forefront are a vibrant 4-piece indie pop-rock band from the Mother City, South Africa. They are influenced by the likes of Maroon 5, Shortstraw and the Red Hot Chili peppers. The band consists of Nick Andrews on guitar and vocals, Taylor Jackson on guitar and vocals, Nicholas Rous on bass and backing vocals, and Jason Dionysopoulos on drums and synths. The release of Forefront's single Happiest in Water was well received by fans and critics alike. It received praise from numerous established South African music blogs. "Forefront’s fun, bouncing, foot-tapping tunes are pretty much in the selfsame league as fellow indie-rockers, Shortstraw and Beatenberg – and with our country’s music scene being widely dominated by the indie culture this can only bode well for Forefront. They are the type of band which would draw me to the front railing at a festival." - Texx and the City "Jangling guitar chords supported by a groovy bass line open up the song, before Forefront jump straight into an aloof series of four chord riffs that will put an enormous smile on your face. A rhythmic and upbeat drum section will have your feet tapping and your head bobbing." - SA Music Scene
