Further's new record Tactics, out Feb 2008!

In case you were wondering whether Further were still a band, we thought we'd jump online and give you some news. MySpace is fun for a while, but let's face it, there's just too many knob-ends on there. So here we are, back on old technology, where we're most comfortable. Our new record is recorded, mastered and off being manufactured. It's coming out in Feb 2008, and it's our best yet. Called "Tactics", it features 10 songs and will be available in the CD format. If you don't buy it, we won't be able to make another one! More news soon!
