Artist description
We used to be around a long time ago, but then we broke up. This is the only testament left that says that we were even here, aside from some t-shirts floating around out there. |

Artist History
Forgiven played with many line-ups between 1996 and 1999. David Seale, Corey Little and Rodney Bledsoe began to play together after realizing that they had always wanted to be in a band. They had one problem: they couldn't play any instruments. Through the grace of God, they chose what instruments they wanted to play and began to go on the road with a few praise songs, some covers, and only 4 months of practcing. Early in 1998, they chose a local musician to play lead guitar for them, Kyle Waldon. Soon after, things began to really click for the band. They played at local festivals, did radio interviews, and began to play songs that were original and said what they truly felt. Soon they went into the studio to record their demo. They were reviewed by representatives from Warner Brothers Records and Columbia records.In early 1999, the band broke up for good. The guys still keep in touch when possible and there may one day be a chance for them to get back together and all to be right with the world again. Kyle and David are currently working on a new project called Semi-Stardom.Rodney is in AL finishing his degree, and becoming respectable. David is still in school and close to finishing, along with playing praise and worship and further pursuing music. Cory is still in school and is currently engaged. As for Adam, he goes by Kyle now, is in the Air Force, and is about to release his first solo album in May. Take a look at these guys and learn something, if you have a dream, don't ever give up on it. No matter how many girls come along, no matter how homesick you are, and no matter how empty you feel inside. Billy the Kid said it best, "I shall finish the game, I shall finish the game." Enjoy what is left and know that we still need prayer in our daily lives as we seek Him in our new pursuits. -Kyle |

Press Reviews
"This is a great first effort by a band that has taken it's time trying to get off of the ground. It seems that there could be some engineering problems, but that is to be expected on your 1st time out. The instrumentation is inspired and shows some great talent and ideas, all the this band needs now seems to be the equipment."Smith Monthly Music Review |
