Forever Goldrush are a four-piece based in Sacramento,California. Imagine Brian Wilson crawling into bed with the Lovin’ Spoonful while Townes Van Zandt conjures spirits in the corner. Crazy cosmic outlaw pop. They’ve just finished recording their third album, “The Amador Frequency” and are in the process of finding it’s home. They tour the west and the rockies every other month. The rest of their time is spent in Retrofit Recording Studios. Tony loves to record the sounds of things we cannot see, Erik is a sweetie pie, Mason loves to play video games and speculate. Damon likes to find good places to hide, and Herm...well he’s the cult hero. They’re mountain boys who make some of the most classic rural tinged pop I have ever heard.  It’s exciting that they actually exist. Very very refreshing.

Don’t we usually reserve these judgments for the SAMMIES? Anyway, this being the “best of” issue, it would be too easy to give a nod to last year’s winner, Cake, or to the almighty Deftones. But we’re interested in up-and-coming acts, ones that haven’t been signed to major labels, ones we think the entire world should hear. And, from what we’ve heard coming out of Retrofit Recordings and seen in venues around town, this year that band is Forever Goldrush. Anchored by the rock-solid songwriting and smoky voice of Damon Wyckoff, the Goldrush has evolved beyond its roots-rock combo origins into something altogether more original and substantial. Will Forever Goldrush make an important contribution to the canon of American music? It’ll be a saga worth watching.
