It started off as a freak accident between two bored working class, semi-talented geeks with nothing better to do but play video games and fool around with electronic music. The programing mastermind, Sean Pendelton (a.k.a. Issaciongun), spent his youth programing out songs on his Commodore, and other various old school computers. After his first copy of Cool Edit Pro, his music writing talents soared to new heights. Eric Aleister (a.k.a. E:rock), the chemically imbalanced front man (bombarded with constant threats of being replaced by a talking parrot) spent most of his youth in punk and grunge bands that never left the garage. It wasn't until he met Sean that he realized that writing music could be much like a visit to the dentist, you're dragged there kicking and screaming the whole way, but you're rewarded with an impressive final product and that leftover feeling of Novocaine and sedation drugs.Expecting to play only to close friends and a few wandering strangers at a good friend's barbecue, the unsuspecting duo agreed to play what turned out to be a house party including 4 DJs, another band, and a minimum of 50 guests. FWD: (forward) as the ape descendants were calling themselves at that point, needed a third monkey to complete the set. It was then that they simultaneously thought the name Brian Kane. Brian is a guitar god that played in various metal bands in the early days and has written a good DVD's worth of solo music. Also a programing guru (and a very fast learner), it took the trio three days to get 5 loose ideas and old demos into a cohesive set. Upon a very positive crowd reaction and the support of good friends and loved ones, FWD: continues ever forward.
