Music Monday: Future of Forestry

Future of Forestry is an ecclectic Christian rock band from San Diego California. They were previously known as Something Like Silas which consisted of a husband-wife team but unfortunately their marriage fell apart and after some time, Future of Forestry was born. The name "Future of Forestry" is taken from a poem of the same name by British author C. S. Lewis. I'm sooo glad Eric Owyoung didn't quit the scene alltogether.
