Foreverlin is a Christian alternative indie rock band from the towns of Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming, where they formed in 2012.[1] Their members are lead vocalist and guitarist, Peter Blomberg, guitarist and background vocalist, Caleb Blomberg, bassist and background vocalist, Nathan Theissen, and drummer and background vocalist, Burke Florom.[2]
The band started as a musical entity in early 2012, with their first release, Per Sempre, an extended play, that was released on March 6, 2012, independently. Their subsequent release, a studio album, Long Lost, was released on April 30, 2013, from Red Cord Records.[3] [4] The single, "Long Lost", charted on the Billboard magazine Christian Rock chart at No. 27.[5] They released, Still After, a studio album, with Pando Records, on May 19, 2015.[6] [7] [8] This release saw, "Broken Lines", chart at No. 13 on the Billboard magazine Christian Rock chart.[9] as well as, Speak, which charted at No. 15.
Many shows in Foreverlin's past have seen the band incorporating worship songs into their sets and playing Sunday morning church services. Wanting to show this side of the band, they recorded a 5-song EP entitled You Remain. This EP included four cover songs and one original. The title track, You Remain, charted at No. 29 in the spring of 2017. Anthony Riedl (bass, vocals) left the band right before recording started, but still was able to record the bass tracks. After he left, Foreverlin invited Nathan Thiessen to tour with them as their bassist. Nathan Thiessen is an accomplished violinist from Iowa who played violin on both the Long Lost and Still After albums (Alaska, Broken Lines, Josephine), but also plays other instruments, including bass.
During 2017, Foreverlin also spent more time on the road touring - traveling mostly in the Western side of the United States. They also spent time during the summer leading worship at youth Bible camps.
