  • Bio

    Faraway Boys 2005-2010 .... Somewhere between Punk, Rock-n-Roll and traditional Rockabilly, falls the sound of Faraway Boys. A power trio that first began on a street corner in Laguna Beach, CA. in the summer of 2005, and have since progressed to playing the local club scene as well as a string of small tours. The band members are Scott "Scotty" Young on guitar/vocals; Sean "Bucky" Walbrink on drums/vocals and Miguel "Ralphie" Gonzalez on up-right bass/ vocals. That street corner taught the Boys how to perform in front of an audience for the first time and gave them the confidence they needed to write their own songs. Faraway Boys are greatly influenced by the greats: Johnny Cash, Elvis and the Stray Cats. Back in those early days, it was a common sight to see the Boys on their street corner every Friday night, playing away. ....In the fall of 2005 the Boys decided they had out-grown their little corner and began to rehearse in a regular practice space. It was at this time that they began to try out their original material for the first time. Within a few months, the first of three Faraway Boys song demos had been recorded and the sound was more traditional, spawning the classics Sailor Jerry Rum and Cowboy Moon. The Song Sailor Jerry Rum is being used for the sailor jerry rum commercial and compilation, which has put a pin point on the map for the boys. For the next year or so, Faraway Boys spent most of their time in their practice studio close to home - refining their sound and focusing on performing live. The weekends would give them good opportunity to showcase the songs written during the week and propel them towards becoming a better live act. The live show is the true love of the boys and their energy is full of contagious emotion, humor and heart-felt spirit. The band's policy of performing "Any time - Any where" has led them from San Diego to Sacramento during the first year. Faraway Boys first album: Pirate Ship Set Sail released in April of 2008. They hit the road shortly after releasing and toured from San Diego to Seattle, parts of the Mid-West and the Southern US. They also have preformed events such as Musink, Punk Rock Picnic, Ink-N-Iron and many more. Their hard work has shown sharing the bill with awesome bands like T.S.O.L, The Adolescents, Street Dogs, The Sonics, The Briggs, and among many other great bands. Their love for meeting new people, writing songs and playing live shows keeps them busy and living the dream. To put it simply, their music is their life and love...and it shows..... .. ..
