One of the best things about doing the magazine is that we have made friends all over the world. And Female President we do like! We spoke to these guys a few months ago, and they are ready to get out there and kick some serious ass!
Female President is an American family trio inspired by the early roots of rock n roll; simplistic riffs that groove and dynamics that build to a fever pitch. Starting during the pandemic as a way to cope with canceled tours and shuttered venues, Female President writes songs with an honest grit and emotional vibe that you can groove to and rock out to. Combining their unique playing styles and genuine love of music, Female President is an energized modern rock band with a sound all its own.
When we spoke to Drea, she said of the upcoming EP, “The new EP is more about us recovering as a family (from the loss of Drea’s father) and being upset that people are not more appreciative of the time we have.”
This song, “Home Is The Horizon,” is meant to calm, to embrace the feeling of patience even when it sparks tears. With a repetitive lullaby quality, performing it as if singing to a child, soothing their worries and fears. The official music video is a simple collection of videos from the family’s travels and holiday celebrations. The subject is always in love with Female President, whether it is their having it or its loss. “Home Is the Horizon” whispers that love is truly patient, kind, and always wins.
My review of the single: This haunting track is a change of direction for the trio. The seagulls take the wind, and we drift on the summer seas. The horizons rise, and we move through the seasons.This is more of a folk melody from a band that knows how to rock. I found the song relaxing and warm, I sat and sipped a cup of tea, closed my eyes and enjoyed the ride. It’s a great single, and I’m looking forward to the EP.
