The genesis of this Pompano Beach, FL, band started from three groups: Strongarm, Shai Hulud, and Vancant Andy's. Originally led by vocalist Chris Carrabba, Further Seems Forever recorded a song for an Emo Diaries compilation. In July 1999, the group released a split EP with Recess Theory titled From the 27th State. The band, known for its power pop but also for its Christian emocore tinges, changed singers when Carrabba went on to form his own group, Dashboard Confessional. Further Seems Forever continued on with former Affinity frontman Jason Gleason. In March 2001, the group released Moon Is Down on Tooth and Nail Records. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide
