1) A four man punk rock band… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple projects with this name:
1) A four man punk rock band
2) A synthwave producer
1) February, 1997. Four men, bored and fed up with the times, the music and the entire indolent scene, gather and decide to form a band that would reflect their punk ethic and values as well as bring back a forgotten style of punk rock. An approach that balances substance and style. They named this band The Forgotten.
One month and four demo songs later sees the band in the offices of TKO Records making a handshake deal for an EP with an option for an LP. With the success of the TKO’s release of The Forgotten’s “Class Separation” EP, TF is commissioned to record “Veni Vidi Vici” the band’s first full length album. Good friend and fellow musician Lars Frederiksen was an essential part of the mix taking on the producer’s mantle for both of these releases. 1998, shortly after the release of “Veni…” TF pops their tour cherry with a 2 month U.S. tour with the legendary Peter Testube and the Test Tube Babies.
The Forgotten quickly developed a fever for the road and began to tour several months out of the year and expanding their fan base by playing live in front of crowds not only in the U.S. but in Canada, Japan, The UK and Europe. By 2002 the band has become a well oiled, seasoned outfit of misfits. Their tenacity has brought them yet another full length album on TKO Records titled “Keep the Corpses Quiet”, three releases in Europe, a very rare picture disk and spots on killer Punk Festivals such as With Full Force and Holidays in the Sun.
TF’s crowning achievement for 2002 was to be picked up by the legendary Better Youth Organization Records. “Control Me” was promptly released. Currently The Forgotten is in the studio jamming songs together and writing their latest album for BYO. Look for The Forgotten on tour in your town and for new release showing up in your local record store.
2) The Forgotten is a synthwave/-punk project. Activated in August of 2019, The Forgotten have dropped a plethora of well-received synthwave remixes, collaborations, and singles including a remix of Porter Robinson’s “Language,” a collaboration with F.O.O.L., “Dystopian 2077,” that garnered over 644K plays on Spotify alone. The Forgotten have worked alongside TOKYO ROSE on his Collab Album "TOKYO ROSE & Friends".

1 2 3 4 keystone 12er's where have they gone?
Another fuckin' tragedy... another breakdown
Slumped in the corner... I wanna passout
We are the Forgotten... We've got nothing to lose
We are the Forgotten... We've got nothing to prove
Hey there you miserable, you wanna find a friend?
Just put me to your lips and swallow me right down
Lie, cheat, and steal and then you will be mine
The opening line of The Forgotten's song "Nothing to Lose" seems to reflect a general feeling of hopelessness and despair. The singer suggests that everyone is messed up and not having a good time. The following lines mention the absence of an alcoholic drink, Keystone 12ers, possibly signifying the lack of comfort and reliance on substances. The lyrics mention another tragedy, suggesting a cycle of misfortune and loss. The singer expresses their own exhaustion, wanting to pass out.
The chorus of the song provides the band's name, "We are the Forgotten" and suggests that this group has "nothing to lose" and "nothing to prove". This line has a sense of defiance and pride in the face of adversity. The following lines suggest a path to friendship through drugs; "Just put me to your lips and swallow me right down. It'll listen to your problems for a $1.79. Lie, cheat, and steal and then you will be mine." These lines seem to express the destructive nature of drug use and addictive behaviors, as well as despair and loneliness.
Overall, "Nothing to Lose" by The Forgotten paints a bleak picture of life and relationships, suggesting that people turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with their feelings of disappointment and anger. The song's chorus is a call to arms for the disenfranchised and the lonely.
