The familiar-but-fresh sound of South Farwell’s new album, Tear Everything Down, is formed around the gravely vocals of Bill Boles and wrapped in harmonious arrangement. It combines strong-but-tasteful guitar (acoustic and electric, thanks to the versatile Tim Coughlin and Boles), full percussion (thanks to the multitasking Cory Dahl), resonantly solid bass (thanks to Phil Juodis) and peppers of piano, organ and saxophone to create impressive resonance. The end result is along the lines of a one-night-only show of The Black Crowes (and a vocal variation of Chris Robinson) covering a set list transposed by Amos Lee and Martin Sexton – and like sweet-and-salty, it’s a good end product.
All of the band members are well known in the Midwestern music scene from previous musical projects; both Boles and Joudis were in Easychair, a well-received country-rock collaboration that toured the Midwest from 2001 to 2006. After Coughlin’s guitar work with Half Life caught the attention of those two, Dahl – considered among the area’s most solid drummers – came in to round out the band. South Farwell was complete.
South Farwell is already working on a second album, and plans to tour extensively in the coming months. For inquiries, click here.
Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!
