Further Seems Forever
Encyclopedia
Further Seems Forever is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Pompano Beach, Florida
and disbanded in 2006. Over the course of their career the band experienced several lineup changes, resulting in a different lead vocalist performing on each of their three studio albums. Original singer Chris Carrabba
recorded with the band for their first album The Moon is Down
in 2001 before leaving to start Dashboard Confessional
. He was replaced by Jason Gleason, formerly of Affinity, who performed on the 2003 album How to Start a Fire
. Gleason left the band in 2004 due to interpersonal tensions and was replaced by former Sense Field
vocalist Jon Bunch for the band's final studio album Hide Nothing
. None of the three vocalists can be said to have recorded more than one full album with the band, as posthumous compilation albums included contributions from multiple singers.
The band's music is often classfied as indie rock
and is frequently associated with the emo
genre. They have also been classified as a Christian rock
act due to the individual band members' religious beliefs, frequent themes of Christianity
in their lyrics, their association with the predominantly Christian Tooth & Nail Records
label, and their performances at Christian-themed festivals such as Cornerstone
. Despite these associations, the group often claimed not to be an explicitly Christian band, but rather a rock band with Christian members.

s Josh Colbert and Nick Dominguez, bassist
Chad Neptune, and drummer
Steve Kleisath
recruited Vacant Andys vocalist Chris Carrabba
to form Further Seems Forever. The first song the new band released was "Vengeance Factor" on the Deep Elm Records
compilation An Ocean of Doubt: The Emo Diaries, Chapter Four
, which contributed to the band's association with the emo
genre. Their first release was a split EP
with fellow Floridians Recess Theory entitled From the 27th State, released by Takehold Records, and soon the band had signed a recording contract with Seattle
-based Christian
label Tooth and Nail Records. By 2000, however, Carrabba had begun working on his own project Dashboard Confessional
and recorded the album The Swiss Army Romance
, essentially a solo release which he considered too personal for Further Seems Forever. At this time the band struggled with interpersonal squabbles and difficulties touring, as Dominguez had a young family and was reluctant to tour outside the state. This forced the group to search for several fill-in guitarists to replace him on tour. After returning from a solo tour in August 2000 Carrabba announced that he was leaving the group in order to focus on Dashboard Confessional full-time:
Despite this decision, Carrabba joined the band the following month to record their debut album The Moon is Down
, released in 2001 by Tooth & Nail. Relations between him and the other band members remained amicable, and Further Seems Forever would later open for Dashboard Confessional on several occasions. In 2005 the band played a reunion show with Carrabba, performing The Moon is Down in its entirety.
" and "Bye Bye Bye
" for the compilations Rock Music: A Tribute to Weezer
and Punk Goes Pop
. Dominguez then left the group to pursue a record label venture, Pop Up Record]. He continues to run the label with Derick Cordoba, who replaced him in Further Seems Forever. This lineup recorded the band's second album How to Start a Fire
, released in 2003, and supported it with a national touring schedule. In early 2004, however, as work on a third album was beginning, the group had a falling out with Gleason which resulted in his departure. In a 2006 interview he blamed the split on "completely irrational behavior on a daily basis. Mistrust. Fights. Anger. Jealousy. A very unhealthy relationship." Gleason went on to form ActionReaction in 2005 with his wife Crissie "Bella" Verhagen and bassist Salvatore Ciaravino, both formerly of Element 101. The group released their debut album Three is the Magic Number in 2006.
To replace Gleason the band recruited vocalist Jon Bunch of the recently disbanded Sense Field
. With Bunch they released the 2004 album Hide Nothing
and continued to tour internationally, performing with groups such as Sparta
, Copeland
, and The Starting Line
.
In 2005 the band played a reunion show with Carrabba at which they performed The Moon is Down in its entirety. That November they announced a hiatus, which was followed by an announcement in January 2006 that their upcoming tour of the United States
and Canada
with Bunch would be their final performances, as the members' families and other commitments had eclipsed their interests in the band. As Neptune stated:
Tooth & Nail released a "best of" retrospective album that April entitled Hope This Finds You Well
, and the band's final performance occurred on June 17, 2006 at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia
. This performance was recorded and released as a live album and DVD
released by 567 Records in April 2007, entitled The Final Curtain
.
. Other members went on to other projects, with Kleisath joined a group called En Masse in early 2006, and Cordoba joining Kicked Out Heel Drag in early 2007.
