Forever Since Breakfast is the first release by American indie rock bandGuided by Voices, released on vinyl in 1986. In contrast to thelo-fi sound they would cultivate in the coming years, this EP was recorded in a professional studio, and features a nearly slick sound that anticipates their late 1990s major-label efforts.Robert Pollard, the band's driving force, has since derided the EP's sound as sterile. Like much of their early output, the songs featured bear a prominentcollege rock influence, particularly fromR.E.M..
The title comes from an interview ofCharles Manson onTom Snyder'sTomorrow. When asked how old he was, Manson answered, "Um, forever. Since breakfast... I can't remember."[2]
The record was first released on CD as part of 2003'sHardcore UFOs box set, and was reissued on vinyl in 2005. It was introduced to streaming services in 2023.[3]
