Forever Came Calling

Southern California emo pop band Forever Came Calling formed with no greater aspirations than covering songs by Taking Back Sunday and Senses Fail. The band was founded by guitarist/vocalist Joe Candelaria shuffling through multiple lineups and various other players as Forever Came Calling got more serious. They self-released the EP HopE.P.assion before being included in the documentary film No Room for Rockstars, shot during the 2010 Warped Tour and focusing on a handful of acts. This exposure gained them a wider audience, and they released a split EP with Handguns the next year via Pure Noise Recordsl. The debut album Contender (Pure Noise Records) surfaced in 2012. New releases and touring came on a regular basis, with a split EP with Family Thief arriving in 2013 followed by second full-length What Matters Most (Pure Noise Records) in 2014. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
