SONG: "Forward From Yesterday"
ARTIST: Jason Devore
ALBUM: "Conviction (The Smoke House Sessions)"
YEAR: 2006
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Mesa, Arizona
YEARS ACTIVE: 1994 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Forward From Yesterday" appears to be a song about moving forward despite not being able to overcome life's obstacles from the past. I think the vocalist is speaking of the troubles, the bad choices, the wrong paths, etc, that he has made in life. Some days were good, some were bad, but the important thing is that he keep striving ahead. Hopefully the positivity can eventually outweigh the negative.

MY THOUGHTS ON JASON DEVORE:
Jason Devore has been on the music scene dating back to 1994. Hailing from Mesa, Arizona, he is most well known as the frontman for the long running punk outfit Authority Zero. After Authority Zero released their first two full length albums, Devore decided to put a solo album out. These songs were mostly acoustic tracks. His solo debut was released in 2006, called "Conviction (The Smoke House Sessions). This album features the song "Courage", which would be released on the Authority Zero album "12:34" a year later and to this day is one of their biggest songs, a huge fan favorite. In 2011, Devore continued his "Conviction" series with the release of "Conviction 2 (The Crooked Path)". This album would continue the trend of stripped down tracks. Devore's most recent release would be 2019's "The Road To Clarity: Conviction Volume III". Jason Devore is a great frontman. Of course, as I said earlier, he is much more known for being the lead singer of Authority Zero. His solo projects are more in line with Authority Zero's "Rhythm & Booze" live acoustic albums that they've released. Like Authority Zero, Devore writes some pop punk tracks and also incorporates some ska and reggae tunes as well. I first learned of Jason Devore from seeing the "Revolution" video by Authority Zero in 2004. His solo material is good, but Authority Zero is totally the shit!! I love that band. It seems like they just keep getting better and better. They are an awesome band! As I said earlier, Devore actually put "Courage" out on his solo debut. What a fantastic song. Until doing this blog, I always thought that was an Authority Zero song first. You learn something every day, right? Jason Devore fans can also check out his celtic punk band The Bollox as well who have released one album to date. Devore is fire!!
