Success in the music business requires a combination of talent, perseverance and opportunity. The six young rockers in Dallas, Texas band Forever the Sickest Kids have repeatedly created their own opportunities – sometimes accidentally. Five days after forming, singer Jonathan Cook was flipping through the Pure Volume web site when, with a click of his mouse, he inadvertently spent $350 the band didn't have on a front page song placement. Worse still, Forever the Sickest Kids didn't have any songs written yet. Over two days, the band wrote and recorded a track called "Hey Brittany," which garnered over 2.5 million Internet plays and triggered a bidding war between eight major labels. So, just what is it about Forever the Sickest Kids that's so irresistible? Beyond the obvious – the sky-high hooks, impressive musicality and sonic diversity – there's a spirit to the songs that's inspiring. Even when the lyrics are cynical and the tone bittersweet, there's a feeling that, beyond the rocky curve, more good times lay ahead.
