Until Further Notice was formed in January of 2004. Since that time, they have grown continually and have been exposed to many different influences, all of which have added to their sound. Competing and placing 1st in multiple battle of the bands, judges have commented highly on both vocal ability and their catchy melodies. "This kid has a voice...like the vocals! I am really into their beat. It's my kind of music and I really dig 'em!" (Matt McLain, Community Affairs, Salt Lake City Public Library Battle of the Bands) "Interesting sound, unique and fun to listen to. Great energy, love harmonies! Good audience participation." (Judge Comments, The Riverton Art Festival Battle of the Bands) With an alternative rock style, their music can be compared to anything from slow and soft harmonic melodies to up-beat progressive renditions. All three members come from a different place influentially and belong to different genres. This is why Until Further Notice is so unique. Some of their major influences are Weezer, Muse, Foo Fighters, and Nirvana to name a few.
On more than one occasion UFN has played charity shows at which all proceeds have gone towards donations for those who are less fortunate. These would include a "Sub-4-Santa" fund raiser for kids without Christmases and also a charity show for The Odysee House, a drug rehabilitation center. Until Further Notice released their debut album in May of 2005 entitled "Forgotten Sounds." It was a young, adventurous start which helped inspire their future as a band. In April of 2007, almost two years later, they released their self-titled album. The new album has continued to receive attention from the local scene with radio play on X96, one of Utah's largest alternative radio stations. UFN managed to create a wide spectrum of styles in this album. From pop, to acoustic ballads, to harder rock, they filled it with a variety of intriguing changes.
In the fall of 2006 QuickStar Productions contacted the band to help promote and market their anticipated album. They have listed their album on iTunes as well as many other online corporations. The November 07 issue of Alternate Press features a page for QuickStar Productions which advertises a handful of its bands, one of which is Until Further Notice.
Sam Decker (guitar/vocals) and Bobby Mayne (bass) started the band their senior year of high school. They were fast friends with a complete mutual dedication to the music. From then on the band underwent many line-up changes. In March of 2005 Bobby left the country for two years while Sam continued the band. It was while Bobby was absent that the recording of the self-titled album took place. Upon his return they attended college courses together where they were able to meet Marcus Taylor (drums).
