How We Got Here (Spoiler: It Was Boredom)

FarFarAway first materialized in the primordial soup of 2023, initially as a humble three-piece unit forged by three individuals who were dangerously bored and foolishly convinced they could find the meaning of life lurking somewhere between a G-chord and a chorus pedal.

After a few disastrous (but enthusiastic!) vocal attempts, we collectively decided that none of us could actually sing, and the urgent quest for a vocalist began.

Our first official “audition” was less than fruitful: the pizza delivery person who showed up was highly talented but staunchly committed to the lucrative and cheese-laden “pizza life.”

The search continued, and eventually, we found our true vocalist. But the universe, it turns out, demanded more! The band wasn’t truly complete until we realized we needed a fifth individual: a very sweaty rhythm guitarist, required to anchor the ship and offer “okay” backup vocals (read: yelling into a mic). Before we knew it, we had inexplicably ballooned into a glorious five-piece musical organism.

What We Sound Like

What do we sound like? We are an all-original band that sounds like the glorious playlist you curated in your youth! FarFarAway’s influences are a long list that reads more like the ads of an old Thrasher magazine from back in the day. Turn of the century punk rock and a tinge of metal that we put all together and make something uniquely our own. Call it punk, call it pop-punk, skate punk, emo, whatever…we don’t waste time with labels. We just want to make face-melting rock.

The Live Experience (Seriously, Bring Socks)

FarFarAway is a live band. PERIOD. While we do enjoy the process of writing and recording a carefully curated selection of our efforts, it is the live show that is paramount. We perform with one goal in mind: fun. Fun for us and fun for the audience. The essence of what we love and where we came from is the energy of the live show. We write with the live show in mind and give 100%. A FarFarAway show’s success is measured in sweat and exhaustion caused by endless fist pumping, jumping, and shoving around your fellow concert goer. 

So who makes up FarFarAway, anyway? We are: Eric (Vocals), Timmy G (Bass/Vocals), Jason aka “Moose” (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Tom (Rhythm Guitar/Vocals), and Marty (Drums). Most of us have been in different bands with each other at one point or another over the years that would make for a very complicated Venn diagram. All that matters is FarFarAway is there in the middle
