Blurb:

Further was a decidedly west coast indie rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1991 by brothers Darren and Brent Rademaker, Josh Schwartz and Kevin Fitzgerald. The Rademaker brothers along with Josh went on to form Beachwood Sparks and The Tyde respectively, Kevin Fitzgerald became the drummer for the Circle Jerks and the west coast lo-fi California indie rock sound actually became a thing with the kids.

Overdosing on Weed, Surfing and Dinosaur Jrs "You're Living All Over Me" as well as flat out turning down major label offers, Further was fuelled by DIY spirit and their music tested the boundaries from the lowest of fidelity to the indie-est of rock...with releases on Bongload Records (home of Beck's Loser 12"), their own Christmas Records, Ball Product (Creation Records), Fierce Panda and many more.

Further received acclaim from the UK press including a 9 out of 10 review in the NME as well as Peel Session from long time fan John Peel. 

Further were a permanent fixtures on the LA indie scene where they shared bills with everyone from the likes of Pavement, Beck, Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Royal Trux, Urge Overkill, Archers of Loaf, Codiene...real indie-rock, you get the picture?

Friends of Lou Barlow from Dinosaur Jr, Further had a knack of exploding into Dinosaurs sonic territory. When Further went on tour with Sebadoh in the 90s, Lou was asked by the NME if he had anything to say to J Mascis...? Lou replied smugly..."ever heard FURTHER?"

To be love
a unfinished song
like a good friend 
to beloved 

at your deep end 
teaching me something 
not easy to know 
but a good friend will show
how to be loved 

how to be loved 
how to be loved 
how to be loved 
In a place like this 

You tell me 
just/i’m one song away 
if i could i would 

lets pretend 
were at the end
like a good friend 
to beloved 

You undress
your self in dance
right in front of me 

what sight to see
if these see could see
how to be loved 
how to be loved 
how to be loved 
In a place like this 

you tell me 
i’m one song away 
if i could i would 

You tell me
were I’m one song away 
don't save it for a better day

To Beloved_Demo v.1 (Feb17th,2023)

This song I wrote a very long time ago, one of my early songs, I was in my 20's and into Hard Rock like Zeppelin, Floyd, Queen, etc, etc.I rerecorded it during the pandemic around 2020. It's a bit dark about a guy that broke-up with his girlfriend and was calling her just to hear her voice again. Her voice alone gives him the courage to face the future and pulls him out of his depression. His life is pretty  bleak filled with partying too much, constant drinking and blackouts. In the end, her voice alone saves him and the song ends in an uplifting and hopeful fashion. It's a dark love story, not one of my usual happy go lucky songs. The video added a twist with a man listening to this conversations and taping them for some reason. Maybe FBI or police? I don't know, I just threw it in! It shows people partying and waking up on strange floors. The video is brand new, just finished it last week. I will be posting it on YouTube in a few weeks, please watch it, it's pretty cool - https://youtu.be/bWbDYQ1wLxg
Thanks for dropping in and cheers!🍻

“IT DOES ME GOOD”

I JUST CALLED YOU, DIDN'T MEAN TO TALK,     
JUST WANTED TO HEAR YOUR VOICE,       
I WOKE YOU UP, THEN I HUNG UP,                  
BUT I JUST COULDN'T WALK AWAY,      
I COULDN'T WALK AWAY,     
HONEY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR VOICE CAN DO FOR ME,     
BUT IT DOES ME GOOD, BABY,
           
I STAY OUT ALL NIGHT AND I CLOSE PARTY'S DOWN,           
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I'M OUT RUNNING AROUND,           
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING ON ANOTHER STRANGE FLOOR,           
LIKE A FOOL I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE,           
BABY I'VE DONE IT BEFORE,

I JUST CALLED YOU, WANTED YOU TO KNOW,     
I'M AS LONELY AS CAN BE,      
YOU SAID "HELLO" AND IT MOVED ME SO,      
I COULD FEEL YOU NEXT TO ME,         
I COULD FEEL YOU NEXT TO ME,     
HONEY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR VOICE CAN DO FOR ME,     
BUT IT DOES ME GOOD, BABY.

falling off (tick tick)

12:37 am (day after) thanksgiving


intro

fake it:

i didn't have to tell you, how i feel

don't act like you don't realize what i said wasn't real

don't look away, don't look up at the sky

this is so much bigger than, just you and i


bedtime:

you know i can't take it with my message on read

i can't really believe that's something that she said

all this conversation's done is fuck with my head

it's okay

//

you say you wanna keep off the beaten path but you stepped off too soon

what does all this bullshit really, matter to you

you are all into beating my heart off the ground,

but you can't so baby don't you make a single sound

//

the day is getting older guess i'll get out of bed

wash away my feelings but you cannot scrub off dread

wanna take it back but i meant what i said 

it's okay

//

you say you wanna keep off the beaten path but you stepped off too soon

what does all this bullshit really, matter to you

you are all into beating my heart off the ground,

but you can't so baby don't you make a single sound

you say you wanna keep off the beaten path but you stepped off too soon

what does all this bullshit really, matter to you

you are all into beating my heart off the ground,

but you can't so baby don't you make a single sound
