Led by brothers Brent and Darren Rademaker, the mid-'90s indie pop outfit Further transformed from an earlier band, Shadowland, who issued a pair of albums for the Geffen label, 1989's self-titled debut and 1990's The Beauty of Escaping, before becoming Further. Whereas their precursor band was based in '60s music, Further was more a kin to such '90s alt-rock icons as Nirvana, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr. The Rademaker brothers issued several releases under the Further name during the mid- to late '90s, including such titles as Grip Tape, Sometimes Chimes, Grimes Golden, and Next Time West Coast. After splitting up Further, Brent and Darren formed Buffalo Springfield-esque group the Tyde, while Brent also formed the country-pop group Beachwood Sparks. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
