Rise Records Signs Further Seems Forever


Rise Records just announced their signing of Pompano Beach indie rock band Further Seems Forever. Rise Records has been teasing as of late about signing a new band, leaving everyone guessing as to who that is. I think that news has just broken through.



When going to Rise's home website, the image above appears, and I think it says it all. We can expect to hear the release of a new album, the first the band will put out since they disbanded in 2006 and got back together. The album will be called Penny Black and will be released October 23, as the fourth studio album for Further Seems Forever.

Up to the point of this posting, no other information has been released.
