If you have the name trademarked you may be able to do something about
forcing them to change their name if you want to do so.
I don't know about getting them to change their web site though. I don't
know about using the same names in .coms, .orgs, .nets, etc.
It looks like their official name is forwardmusic.org which is how they may
have been able to get around the trademark violations.
You'd probably have to speak to a lawyer about this. I'm not sure if you
can do anything if they are calling themselves forwardmusic.org and you are
just forward music.
It does appear that they are selling stuff which says just "forward music."
You may have something there though t-shirts, hats, etc are generally
copyrighted, not trademarked.
I'm not terribly familiar with trademark and copyright law, unfortunately.

Anyone have any idea about who and what this is?
http://www.forwardmusic.org/
This has been the name of my record label and production company for 4
years, a registered TM, UPC, Internic domain name(the .com one) and business
name.
Plus they are having a forward music party in Detroit during DEMF, people
asking me why I booked all these house guys from Toronto to play in detroit,
and I have no idea what they are talking about.
And I'm doing a forwardMusic showcase at PEMF on Monday.
