Observations: The band that just clicked...on a music message board
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It had to happen: a band has formed on a music message board. Internet Forever came into being when London-based Laura Wolf connected with Cambridge resident Craig Nunn.
Wolf has knocked around her home city's indie scene for a while, both as a solo artist and in various bands, while Nunn had left his rapidly disintegrating university outfit to teach in Poland and China before returning to record solo as Heartbeeps. Both were drawn to the sounds of tinny Casiotone keyboards. They had been friends on blogging site LiveJournal for several years when Nunn commented that he wanted to be in a band called Internet Forever.
Wolf was keen for them to collaborate. "Our individual solo stuff was quite similar in aesthetic anyway – we were both making lo-fi, bedroom-produced pop, so it seemed natural that we would make some music together. At the time I was constantly looking for collaborators."
She visited Nunn in Cambridge to meet face-to-face. One of the first fruits of this exercise was "3D", a winsome number about how different we look compared to our online avatars. That track is set for release next year in all its muddy, glory on hip San Diego imprint Art Fag. Now with drummer Chris Alcock on board, they are becoming more attuned for success in real life.
Internet Forever's single, 'Cover The Walls', is out on 20 Years Of Boredom
