We started off nearly eight years ago in the sleepy southern city of Nashville Tennessee and provided all eight of the cities punks the chance to become the first to observe in the monster that is F.A.R. We now reside in the Portland metro area. We have blown up four vans in those eight years, had three other bass players, a different guitar player, and a singer to boot.
We Have released a few records:
"Fragments of a Fallen Sky 7" on Clean Plate in 1998 Long Out of Print.
"Life and Death" 7" on Partners in Crime in1999 Also Out of Print.
"Concrete and Steel" 12" LP released by Feral Ward/G.A.S.R. in 2000
