About Me

Forthfading began in 2001 when Georgia natives Robert Bell (vocals) and Jay Beebe (guitars) met in college. The band's roster changed a couple times, finally being completed by Shon Rand (bass) and Patrick Rives (drums). To see what some Forthfading alumi are doing, check out Leaving Araby in our top friends. They are awesome! Anyway, more about us:Forthfading recorded an EP called "Internal" in 2004, placed third in a major Battle of the Bands at the Masquerade in Atlanta in 2005, and is recording a brand-new full length album at present (the album is currently titled TOBOR).To hear some songs from "Internal," just go to iTunes and do a search. Those tunes are passionate, heavy post-hardcore. The tunes on the upcoming album will be more straight-ahead rock'n'roll, with Robert's distinctive vocals (some mention Rush or Anberlin when they hear him) soaring over the guitar-driven hooks. ************************************************************ ********************************** Come join our fan group: http://groups.myspace.com/forthfading*********************** *********************************

Home stretch

It's almost hard to believe, but we seem to be getting close to finishing this album. Vocals are always the most difficult - I mean, that's what people really listen to - voice and lyrics. The music c...
