InfluencesFrom what I can glean, we (and no, I'm NOT going to write this in 3rd person because that would imply, and allow you to infer, that we're important enough to have a 3rd party write about us, but we're just not) collectively or exclusively individually enjoy and are fans of but may or may not be directly influenced by and may somewhat, in varying degrees from very much to not at all, sound like bands such as Jawbox, Fugazi, Husker Du, The Cure, Joy Division, Jawbreaker, Shiner, Lungfish, Uranium 9-Volt, Pixies, Monsula, Harvest Theory, Thermostat, Wham!, Swiz, Sunny Day Real Estate, Foghat, Kerosene 454, Shudder to Think, and Samiam. Also, we sound like your current favorite band that you just can't get enough of. Only better. But not so good that you would be intimidated, just good enough that you would want to come see us at a show. Incidentally, we would want to see you at a show, too.

   About The Near and the Far
For booking contact Mike at info(at)tnatf.com

In the beginning there was Raum (Harvest Theory). Then came a fluctuating cast of players for a couple years. Eventually Skot (Monsula, Sawhorse, Uranium 9-Volt) joined the band on drums. Charlie the bass player moved. The band then enlisted Mike (Thermostat) to fill in. Next to move was Tom. Skot and Mark (Uranium 9-Volt, Underside) had recently reconnected and it seemed all together proper to invite him into the fold. This is the current line-up and we’re happy to be making the kind of rock music that makes rock music rock music.
