fornever is an established alternative band specializing in an eclectic mix of alternative rock/pop, new wave, gothic rock, industrial, ethereal and electronic music.
Band/artist history
Originally formed in 1995 by sole songwriter, vocalist, and core studio musician/producer Joshua Heinrich, fornever's genre-bending, ever-evolving-yet-uniquely-identifiable sound is the product of relentless reinvention. From the moody, stark, 17 Seconds-meets-Pornography-era Cure-esque vibe of 1999's Pale to the acclaimed diverse alt rock of 2005's ghosthouse and the indie rock/shoegazer/dream pop/electro hybrid of the band's upcoming, as-yet-untitled, eleventh album, fornever's sound is a blend of innate pop sensibilities, sonic experimentation, and a penchant for melancholia. Combined with intelligent lyrics, running the gamut from introspection to witty social/political sarcasm, fornever's work has found a home among an ever-growing international fanbase, repeatedly earning critical acclaim as well as literally dozens of high-charting singles on a number of high-profile internet music sites (including numerous stints at the top of mp3.com's coveted genre charts during the site's heyday). Look for two new fornever albums in 2009.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Rarely..usually small, intimate performances at odd festivals and things. My most memorable live performance was probably playing "digital phage" at the first undergraduate electronic music concert at the State University of New York at Buffalo, which was a somewhat special event with a different atmosphere than most gigs. Overall, though, I prefer to spend my time in the studio writing and recording new material.
Your musical influences
The Cure, U2, New Order, The Chameleons, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Smashing Pumpkins, The Pixies
What equipment do you use?
Guitars, bass, keyboards, violin, software samplers and sequencers, drums/percussion instruments, flutes, and..well..whatever happens to be handy at the time...
