USA's Further Seems Forever change mind about disbanding.

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. We can't tell you how honoured we are to have a singer of this quality to make music and inspire people along with us. We have been fans of Sense Field's music for a long time and are overjoyed to find out that Jon is not only a great signer and lyricist, but also an even greater person. Jon will be doing vocals for our up coming album to be released this summer on Tooth & Nail Records. We will be touring and functioning as a working group once more. We appreciate the support of everyone who has stood by us through these recent events and look forward to being back bigger and better than ever."

The band released the album 'The Moon Is Down' for Tooth & Nail 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.
