Being too afraid to say what you're really thinking is the theme of The Ones You Forgot's new EP. Jenna Bruno (vocals), Ferdinand Benauro (guitar), Matt Thompson (guitar), Justin Rodman (drums) and Lance Nelson (bass) recognize the difficulty of expressing yourself fully and hope listening to Too Afraid to Say will show that vulnerability is natural and, most important, ok.

In sticking with the theme, the band has provided one-word answers to the following questions, because sometimes one word is better than being too afraid to say anything at all:

5. Is there anything you're still afraid to say?
