      Company history


      Founded in Fredericton, New Brunswick by James Boyle, Kyle Cunjak, and Zach Atkinson in 2006, the team initially provided professional representation for Maritime musical acts, particularly those who found it difficult or impossible to release their music through the area's conventional channels. With a strong focus on aesthetics, presentation, and a grassroots approach to marketing & advertising, FMG have carved out a niche for themselves in the Canadian musical landscape and maintained a close relationship to their fan base.
      Forward regularly work with festivals and conferences such as Shivering Songs, the Halifax Jazz Festival, Nova Scotia Music Week and East Coast Music Week to program interesting and intimate events with a variety of musicians both from inside and outside their community. At the 2007 Evolve Festival, one stage, dubbed the "Forward Music Group Stage," featured acts on the label alongside Do Make Say Think and Holy Fuck. At the 2012 festival, Forward programmed music for the yurt stage and staged theatrical performances during the day with fake security guards at the yurt entrance that provoked the public by shooting them with water guns.
      They also operate a sister label called Backward Music for experimental music and work with NYC-based Bing & Ruth, Toronto producer/percussionist Joshua Van Tassel, and more.
