The Fore: Latest Press Release

Press Release 24/07/2008

London based band The Fore have signed up with NOMA Music in the USA who provide music and songs for the film and TV industry. The band have already provided six songs for the hugely successful documentary "The Beatles : Rare and Unseen", which was produced by legendary "Top of the Pops" producer Chris Cowey and released worldwide by Liberation Entertainment. Los Angeles based NOMA Music specialise in supplying music to the motion picture and network television industries in North America.

Spencer Hannabuss, bass player in the Fore said "When NOMA contacted us with the offer we were extremely excited, without doubt, this is a big deal, and hopefully one that will see us break into the US market. NOMA are a well respected company with good connections in the US television and film industries, with a little luck this will be our first step into much bigger things, we can't wait!".

The Fore's debut album 'Black and White' has already sold over 3,500 copies in the UK and with sales in the USA increasing all the time things look rosy for The 'Beatlesque' four piece. Having played with the world famous Bootleg Beatles this year and been offered a residency at The Cavern Club Liverpool, it looks like The Fore - Matt, Simon, Luke and Spencer - are on to a winning FAB formula! Black and White is available on Beatnik Geek Records (C) The Fore 2007 : www.theforeband.com

A New Look To The FORE Website!!

On Friday, 12 July, Neil White (co-manager of The Fore) introduced a brand new layout for the band's site. It's more easily navigable, loads quicker and was built with the fans in mind!
Go ahead and give it a test-drive yourself! For many of you, the way you've gotten to our blog is through the site, so you already know how it looks. But, for you who've come from outside the site: we're all excited about the way it looks, and hope you will be, too! It's still at theforeband.com as always.

UPDATE ON LUKER

As the Rock Relic has kept everyone abreast of the situation concerning our rhythm-guitarist, Luke, on his site, we want to thank everyone who's taken time to send positive thoughts and/or pray for his recovery (as yet, the doctors aren't sure of the cause behind his recent illness).
We will keep you informed on-post and through Chuck. Presently, more tests are being run, but we're sure the reports will come out well and he'll be back with the band soon!

MORE UPDATES and TOUR SCHEDULES will follow in the next post

A Good Time Was Had By All ...

NOTES FROM THE ROCK RELIC: This past Tuesday, at 8 PM GMT (through the states, from Eastern to Pacific time zones, it'd be 3, 2, 1 and 12 PM respectively), the band met up with some of their great fans online in The Fore Chat Room. Everyone who attended got a live taste of what it's like to be part of the UK's top rock band -- from inside info on the new album (tentatively scheduled for December release, so get yours ordered in advance for a great stocking-stuffer!) to their rehearsals and more!

Spencer and Simon answered a lot of questions -- even before Luker (who was stuck in traffic and battling the flu!) showed up. The lads showed they're just as insightful and intelligent as they are musically fab! And they have a great sense of humor -- such as when Spencer mentioned about a recording contract being "just around the corner" (which it is!) ... and Si "left" the room to run down to the corner and look!

Y'know, it's a sign of true devotion to their fans that they remember each one and what they've done for the band, individually and/or collectively.

Charming, intelligent, witty -- and the best music to come outta the UK since The Beatles. THIS IS THE FORE -- and you're gonna be hearing more of them as they rise to superstar status!

Hey ... it's time you became a ForeHead ... and follow them as they rise to heights unseen since The Invasion of '64! Check out their site at theforeband.com and go to their "music" page!

I've said it before: This is musical history in the making!

See ya on the flip side!
