As u kno they're closely linked 2 deftones, bein based in sacto, playin same venues, jonah matranga bein on a number of b-sides and of course they did savory, the jawbox cover with chino, abe and stef (playin bass - weird) but what do we think of them?
i've only heard water and solutions and i like it, very similar to a lot of d early emocore stuff that was goin round in 90s (i aint talkin bout d shit emo we get now)
Dude, Far are one of the greatest (IMO) post-grunge, post hardcore, what ever you want to call it, band.
Shaun Lopaz was the guitarist.
Check out Tin Cans With Strings to You - masterpiece.
Some say that they (jona in particular) were responsible for Emo...I say who cares, they where just a brilliant rock band!
it seems a new far thread pops up every few months but that's a good thing because it means more people are discovering them
but yea far are one of my favorite bands if not my favorite band. i notice 'water & solutions' is the album everyone seems to discover them with and it's an amazing album but as stated by marty 'tin cans with strings to you' is another great album, and they have a bunch of stuff they released before getting signed to immortal/epic as well. 'sweat a river, live no lies', 'listening game' (my personal favorite), 'quick', 'soon', as well as a bunch of covers. jonah and shaun's solo stuff in all their various bands are awesome as well.
i'll hav 2 check that album out, thnx 4 d tip
Have to get my hands on everything prior to ´Water & Solutions´, but I think I´ll go for it´s rerelease first...with the DVD :)
I like Far very much.
Water and Solutions contains great songs, along with I Like It and Mother Mary (my favourites).
I'd like to hear Tin Cans With Strings to You, can anyone upload it?
those 2 r my favourite tracks 2 bored, i heard i like it off a far myspace last year m dat made me go n get d album
I'm about to order the Water and Solutions with the DVD. Yay !
Could anyone up' "Tin Cans With Strings to You"? Cheers.

Like everyone said, glorious band. If you haven't heard the acoustic version of "All Go Down" you haven't ever felt a true emotion yet in your life.
^^^ I agree. Jona can really channel emotion through his throat

Any word about if there will be a following to W & S? It'd be really really strange if they did another cd, and they'd be under big criticism...

Vagrancy & Solutions - wookubus
(12:28 PM MST 03/02/2009)
Far have officially inked a deal with Vagrant and are wrapping up work on their new album for the label in Southern California with band guitarist Shaun Lopez handling the production. An early spring release date is being plotted for the release. Speaking on the signing, band frontman Jonah Matranga had the following to say:
"We had no idea all this would happen, we were just planning on getting to know each other again and playing a few shows, in between everything else we've got going on. But now, all of a sudden, the songs are coming, and it feels really good. All we've ever promised as people and as a band is that whatever we put out, whenever we come around, we're gonna mean it."
Read it on ThePRP, amazing. Never thought that would happen.
