All Music Guide:
Combining both the energy and frenzy of metal-inspired patterns with the melody and force of emo, Remembering Never brings forward distinct solutions for the hardcore music scene. Remembering Never formed in Fort Lauderdale, FL, in the late '90s, with a lineup consisting of vocalist Justin, Pete (guitar), Norm (guitar), Grease (bass), and drummer Danny.
Following a series of lineup changes, the band finally fixed its core when Pete took over vocals, Grease moved on to the guitar section, and Dre took on bass duties while Justin left the band and Danny stayed. In 2002, the squad issued its first disc, the EP Suffocates My Words to You. Following a series of relentless shows, the crew signed on with the Ferret Music record label, issuing She Looks So Good in Red, their debut album, still in 2002.

Biography
The band formed in 2000 as We All Fall Down, and released a 2 song demo.
Their music consisted of mainly fast riffs and breakdowns with occasional clean singing (which has become less and less frequent in their two most recent albums), although they are now said to be spearheading the "fifth wave" of ska-punk. Though the band's early recordings focused on more typical subjects such as loss and love, vocalist Pete Kowalsky decided to change the lyrical focus of the band in time for their second full-length, Women and Children Die First.
The band generally will not play songs off of She Looks So Good in Red and it is the only Remembering Never CD that is not for sale at any of their shows. They are now politically focused, touching upon many subjects such as animal rights ("The Grenade In Mouth Tragedy", "Slaughterhouse Blues"), gun control ("From My Cold Dead Hands"), religion ("For the Love of Fiction", "Con Artist", "White Devil") and gay rights ("The Goddamn Busy Signal"). As stated on the band's MySpace page, though the members may be Straight Edge, they are not necessarily a Straight Edge band. Their songs do not revolve around the subject, and in fact, Peter and Aldo have a Straight Edge side-project, xBishopx, with Sam Kooby on guitar.
In January 2009, singer Pete Kowalsky reunited the band with drummer Daniel Burger and enlisting new members Alejandro Leon, Nick Ziros, and Steve Vazquez to the line up, to work on a new record. Slated to be out in 2010, "This Hell is Home" hopes to bring something new to the table while not straying away from the band's original sound. Tour dates and shows have also been planned for July 2010, prior to the release of the new record.
