"Isn't This Supposed To Be Fun!?" does a wonderful job of twisting rock, pop, and synth together to make for a very enjoyable listen, though not one that you'll get tired of listening to anytime soon. The unique melodies and the lack of headache inducing vocals that are ever so popular in powerpop releases today are what is going to separate this album from all the rest in the genre this year.

Hanging out in Greensboro, North Carolina, in a music scene saturated by hardcore and screamo, the six members of Farewell felt compelled to do something different. Instead of falling into the scenes around them, the group wove together threads of pop-punk, synth rock and tight harmonies into a unique power-pop sound, a melodic blast that owes as much to the Beach Boys as it does to Green Day. As they began to tour throughout the East, attracting new fans in every city they played, the band’s undeniable hooks began to attract label attention, including that of Epitaph owner Brett Gurewitz. Now, with a dedicated fan base, rocking live show, and shiny new CD to their name, Farewell are ready to take on America. Say hello to Farewell.
Hey guys :] I really really really think you should make a video for 88s or anchors away because those are my favorites and 88s would probably catch mtvs attention. Just a suggestion :D
Check out Farewell on page 31 in this issue of Substream Music Press available at Hot Topic, FYE, newstands and bookstores across the US!! This issue also comes with a FREE CD sampler!!
