If your musical taste includes Dave Matthews, this band is for you. Although they've played together, Fighting Gravity's ska-based tunes, laced with amazing horns, are quite different than Dave's - though equally as good. Fighting Gravity's longevity has translated into musical maturity: Dave P.'s bass is excellent, and Mike's percussion is superb. Lead singer Schiovannie is a blast to watch on stage, and just as wonderful to listen to on the CDs. If you're a first time buyer, Forever-1 Day (epecially songs #2 and #4) is a great starting point, and try to catch them as they tour up and down the eastern seaboard from VT, to MA, NY, and of course their home state of VA. You'll have a great time.

I've been listening to this band since I was 12 years old and I gotta tell ya they get better every time I listen to 'em. The blend of ska roots and a softer form of acoustice rock is simply sublime. I've seen them several times and recommend their concerts just as highly as I do their CD.

I've been a Fighting Gravity/Boy O Boy fan since I first saw them open for the Kinks at the boathouse in Norfolk, VA. Forever=1 Day is a good solid CD but it lacks the energy and sheer fun of some of their earlier releases such as Shiskabob and No Stopping No Standing. I especially wish the horns were more prominent on this album. This is a good CD but it's definitely not their best work

If you ever get the chance to see these guys perform live, TAKE IT!

Fighting Gravity began as a local band at Virginia Tech, gained favorite-group status at many state venues, and has now become a national success!

New Mercury Recording artists Fighting Gravity, a formerly mostly ska group, maintains a unique pop style that fans here in Blacksburg can't get enough of.

I own every Fighting Gravity album, and I love the way their musical style has evolved. "Forever=1 Day" represented perhaps their most dramatic change from previous albums, and it really reflects a universal appeal with songs like "One Day" and "Mission Bells."

"Forever=1 day" is just a taste of great things to come.
