We are not pretentious. We do not discriminate. We love music – all kinds of music – and we believe that there is a lot of undiscovered talent that is worthy of a wider audience. With a viewership that consists of like-minded individuals, our mission is to help spread the word about these largely overlooked artists and to help them get the widespread recognition they so richly deserve.

Is Further Seems Forever planning a reunion tour? A new album possibly? With Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional taking the reigns of lead vocals once again? This clip from both websites seems to suggest something to that effect.

In lieu of their upcoming new album, Seve vs. Evan is giving away a digital copy of their album Steam Powered Rocket Ship entirely free. You can download it here. I've personally always enjoyed this album. Probably because I have been fortunate enough to attend a few of their concerts in the past and they are always quite something. I find the album quite nostalgic and fun. And now it's free! Don't be afraid to give it a listen.
