With hard swinging melodies, chunky guitar lines, a wild stage act, a blistering work ethic, and pure ambition: FFN has created quite a stir in the Pacific Northwest. Hitting the local music scene in February 2005, they have kept good company, sharing the stage with bands such as Something Corporate (Geffen) and Mest (Maverick), Stutterfly (Maverick) and City Sleeps (Maverick), Coretta Scott (Rise) and The Actual (Eyeball).
The guys are currently gearing up to record their first full length album this summer. "Our first CD was a big experiment," says lead singer Jordan Thompson. "We are really excited about our next release because we have found our identity now. The music is better and we have really improved as musicians." Look for the new record to hit the shelves this fall! They released their 5 song EP in June 2005, recorded at Lee Stoker Studios, and it was received with fervor.
In tandem with the upcoming CD, a big change has taken place for the guys-- they've uprooted and moved to Seattle. "Spokane was a great city for us to start out at, and we will never forget our great fans there," chimes in drummer Jesse Tranfo. "Seattle just fits us culturally, and we feel like we have a much better chance of meeting our goals here."
FFN was started by Thompson who left his old project, Altercate, after several years. Recruiting some of the old band members, a new drummer, and placing his brother at guitar, FFN has taken a different path-- tapping into the harder and more angst-filled side of Thompson's song writing.
"Don't worry," Thompson assures fans, "you won't be disappointed with the new material." In fact, he is laying down a guarantee that folks will like it much, much more.
