"We aim to write music that creates an atmosphere and tells a story, covering a wide rage of emotions. This sound is created using a mixture of unique guitar sounds, piano and strings; together with powerful, memorable chorus' and lyrics that paint a picture."

Forever August are an Alternative Rock/Pop band made up of two sets of Brothers, twins Adam and Dan Franklin along with Joseph and Matthew Purdue. The band which came together at school in Basingstoke, have been writing and performing together ever since. The band have much interest and the music industry generally and have begun to work with Colleen Paige of Furocious Music in LA, USA

Over the last year the band have focused largely on defining their sound and writing the material for their first album. Four songs, including the recently released single "Who Said It Was Over?" have been recorded at Long Wave Studios, Cardiff and the EP "The Secret Lights" is available from itunes from 3rd October 2011. The band have recorded another four songs and plan to finish the album in the spring of 2012.

Forever August made their first official release with the single "Who Said It Was Over?" and have been selling it through iTunes and the CD through www.foreveraugust.com . The song was promoted online and on Sky Lava TV with the bands first official music video.

The band's long term ambitions are to make a living out of writing and performing music, through both record sales and touring, starting with the UK, and America.

Reviews / Media

Kevin Tewis, Jonesey Group (Century Media Corp) 20/02/2011

''The best unsigned band I have ever seen live and in the studio. Hugely proficient and capable enough in their performance and catchy radio friendly song capability, able to break the key market, the USA. A true British family of talent that is a sure fire hit!''


Review - Bristol O2 Academy 30/07/2010

"Of the bands that played on this night, I would say that Forever August were my favourite of the night due to the variety in their sound. This band had a sound that was a mixture of many genres including rock, metal and punk, with none of these taking the spot of the obvious dominant genre. Their material, if nothing else, was plain easy to listen to. Their vocals were strong and I loved the guitar sound they had..." J. Clegg, www.live-music-scene.co.uk/


A. Stones, Winchester Railway Inn - 11/01/2011

"The headliners tonight were Basingstoke based Forever August who appeared to have dragged along a fair sized fan club with them to the venue. This talented four piece are a family affair with twin brothers Adam and Dan on vocals/guitar and drums joined by another set of brothers Matt and Joe on the bass and guitar and this set up works well as the band members were tight throughout their set. Their debut single 'once and for all' turned into a sing-a-long for the fans and a brand new song, literally a couple of days old was played live for the first time which was well received by the audience..."


Liam, OverRatingTheUnderRated.com - 7/02/2011

"The first act I'm bringing you is Forever August, a four piece rock/indie/alternative group from Basingstoke. As luck would have it (or clever planning by yours truly), today they release their first official video, Who Said It Was Over, which you can (and should) go out and purchase from iTunes today. Set in what seems to be a school sports hall, the guys treat us to some tidy visuals that focus mainly on the band, which in turn keeps the emphasis on the superb track itself."

Favorite bands
Dan Franklin (Drums): Paramore, Thrice, Funeral For A Friend
Joe Purdue (Guitar/Piano): Jack's Manequin, Automatic Loveletter, Go Radio
Adam Franklin (Vocals/Guitar): Explosions in the Sky, Something Corperate
Matt Purdue (Bass Guitar): Death Cab For Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, Go Radio

Forever Augusts music has been described many ways, alternative rock music, pop music, Indie music, pop punk, new rock, pop rock. It doesn't matter what you call it but we hope you like it.

[justinriley11]

Guys, your music is great, but to be honest, I'm not to keen on the singers voice, your backing from the drummer is awesome, but the lead vocals are a little flat and have no emotion, work on that.
