Forever August is
2 sets of brothers, Adam and Dan Franklin (twins) and Matt and Joe
Purdue. Joe and Adam started playing guitar together in school and
shortly thereafter convinced Adam’s brother Dan, to play drums.
They
wrote
music together throughout school, doing small gigs with and without a
bass player. Three years ago they found themselves short of a bassist
for a gig in their home town and asked Joe’s brother
Matt to stand in, that completed the band.
"We try to write music that tells a story, with catchy chorus melodies
and explosive instrumentals".
In summer 2010, the guys all decided to take a year out before
University and focus on the band full-time. Since then,
the band has been writing constantly, recently recording their new
songs in Long Wave Studios, Cardiff, and just before Christmas, filmed
their first official music video for the single, “Who Said It Was
Over”.
Forever August is an
exciting and emerging band. Expect to see these handsome guys in the
U.S. very soon!!
