About Me


HEY!
We are Furthest Drive Home from Farnham, England. Thank you so much for coming to our page and checking us out!
We are currently writing new material and rehearsing for our up and coming tours and adventures!
We've had a great 2008 so far, touring the country with many of our good friends such as Tellison, The Maple State, Elliot Minor and The Higher to name a few, alongside great festivals such as Slam Dunk. We also made our first trip over to the USA to play the SXSW music festival which was an amazing experience, we can't wait to come back!
We're just about to set off on our summer headline tour of the UK, we cannot wait! See you on the road! Ohh and if you get a minute, if you could click the banner above and vote for us that would be amazing.
You can buy our debut mini album from the links below released mid 2007 on Hungry Kid records. The CD is currently avaliable in limited edition packaging, but there aren't many left, so make sure you get one while you can!

Sounds Like:
A Sparkling Debut. More infectious than rabies. FDH are definitely ones to watch.
Kerrang

The UK's brightest crossover hopes.
Metal Hammer Magazine

It seems that every teenager and his Bowie-loving Dad have been tuning in to this band's treacherously catchy songs. Isn't it about time you did too? ****
Tuned Magazine

This young quartet will go far.
Kerrang

Ridiculously catchy pop hooks.
Tuned Magazine

More infectious than the common cold. World domination doesn't seem far off!
Shimmering melody and contagious hooks makes 'The Complete First Series' the perfect acccompaniment to life on the open road.
Big Cheese Magazine

FDH are big on melody and even bigger on catchy choruses: the perfect soundtrack to a US prom scene in the movies.
Total Guitar

Dance-Tastic!
Kerrang

A pop-punk force to be reckoned with. Digging into Fall Out Boy-esque starter to whet our appetites, they follow this up with an experimental sound backed by a distant disco beat thats terribly head-nod-worthy. Simple, Memorable, effective.
Rock Sound Magazine

A sparkling, promising outfit; emotive without the tired emo branding.
Disorder Magazine

Causing a real stir amongst industry professionals
