Forealists – Livin’ It Up [VIDEO]

This video is a brand, spanking new single by the Forealists, a funky fly, indie band based in my beautiful hometown of Buffalo, NY, whose members are a few of my close pals, Zuri Appleby and Rocco DellaNeve.

forealists

Forealists, comprised of 4 basic members, with very different backgrounds, whose goals are in harmony with one another.  They aim to bridge the gap between the traditional, classic music genres and the newer genres to fill the void of the disconnect that simply the name of a genre can create. They convey a message that’s positive and purposeful and promotes self and peer uplifting and awareness.
