Rockers Further Seems Forever not calling it quits

AMERICAN emo rock band Further Seems Forever have decided to stay together despite an earlier announcement from them that they were to disband. In a group statement the band said, "After much thought and receiving countless emails of support and encouragement from our fans, we (Josh, Chad, Steve and Derick) have decided to continue writing and performing music as Further Seems Forever. We had previously announced our certain disbandment to start a new project but changed our mind when an exciting possibility arose. We began talking to a singer who we greatly admired and after many phone conversations and meeting him face to face to play music, we have decided to continue as Further Seems Forever. We are extremely excited to announce that Jon Bunch, formerly the vocalist for the veteran rock group Sense Field, will be taking over vocal duties for Further Seems Forever."

An album with the new line up will be released by Tooth & Nail this summer. The band previously released the album 'The Moon Is Down' in 2001, the project featuring lead singer Chris Carraba who subsequently left and who is now a hugely successful mainstream artist under the name Dashboard Confessional.
