A year into Gleason's stint with Further Seems Forever, original member Nick Dominguez left the band to pursue a record label venture, Pop Up Records. He now runs that label with fellow FSF member, Derick Cordoba.
Early in 2004, the band had a falling out with Gleason, sparking a heated and much talked about Internet debate. In regard to what exactly happened, facts are scarce and rumors are plentiful, due to the band limiting its comments on the subject for personal reasons, though Gleason chalked it up to "Mistrust. Fights. Anger. Jelousy. A very unhealthy relationship." in an interview with Punktastic.com.[1].
Jason Gleason revealed the group was not a Christian band at all. "We are a rock band whose members happen to be Christians. But because there have been a lot of successful Christian acts—Evanescence and P.O.D.—over the past couple of years, people always want to know if we're a Christian band. We're not."[3] Evanescence is a rock/alternative/pop[1] band from Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.

In 2005, Jason started the band ActionReaction, with his wife Crissie "Bella" (Verhagen) Gleason (former vocalist of Element 101), and Salvatore Ciaravino (former bassist in Element 101). The band signed with Equal Vision Records' imprint label, Hope Division Records, and released their debut album, Three Is The Magic Number, on August 22, 2006. Equal Vision Records is an independent record label based in Albany, New York, specializing (with some exceptions) in the more hardcore or alternative-based rock genres. ...
Lead singer #3: Jon Bunch Jonathan Bunch, of indie band Sense Field, was added as the lead singer for the band. After Jason Gleason left, FSF's manager got Jon Bunch in touch with the band. His former group, Sense Field, had recently split. During this time, the band released the album "Hide Nothing" featuring Bunch on vocals. Sense Field was a pop-rock/post-hardcore band from California that formed in 1991 and have been largely credited with bringing the emo sound from hardcore punk circles to a more mainstream audience alongside contemporaries like Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World and Texas Is The Reason. ...
Disbanding In late 2005, FSF went on a long hiatus. In January 2006, the band posted a message on their website announcing that their shows in early 2006 through the United States and Canada would be their last as a band. During its existence, FSF gave more than a thousand performances. The individual band members proceeded to new jobs. There would be no new album project, but a compilation entitled Hope This Finds You Well was released by Tooth & Nail Records in April 2006. The band also indicated there would be a DVD release of videos and live performance scenes, entitled "The Final Curtain". The band's final show was on June 17th in Atlanta, Georgia at The Masquerade, where DVD cameras were present to film the set.

- The name "Further Seems Forever" came out of the original members' frustration with the fact that they were always on the road away from their loved ones. The time it took to reunite with them seemed like forever and "further seems forever" popped into their heads and just stuck.
