Formed in 1991, Sacramento , California 's far blazed a trail for a generation of alternative rock bands over their 8 year career, garnering critical acclaim at home and abroad by combining heartfelt, dynamic, vocals to unfettered, driving rock songs. The brainchild of Jonah Matranga (OneLineDrawing, New End Original) and Shaun Lopez (Rival Schools, Crosses), far brought a maturity and sensitivity heretofore unheard among their contemporaries and paved a path for bands like Biffy Clyro, Coheed & Cambria and Thursday, by adding a refreshing emotional muscle to unfettered, driving rock songs.
Immediately met with critical acclaim, 1996’s cult classic debut, Tin Cans With Strings to You (Immortal/Epic), introduced far to a national audience via an aggressive marketing campaign and touring schedule with the likes of Incubus and Deftones, which brought their unique band of emotional rock to arenas across the nation. In the years that have past, the long out of print classic Tin Cans With Strings to You has grown to mythological status and is a touchstone moment for alternative rock in the 1990's and beyond.
The band’s follow up, 1998’s Water & Solutions (Immortal/Epic), brought far to an even bigger audience thanks to the infectious hit single "Mother Mary." More accessible than its predecessor, Water & Solutions stands as a pinnacle achievement in alternative rock spawning countless followers from Coheed & Cambria and Thursday to Biffy Clyro and Funeral for Friend.
Both albums are available on vinyl for the very first time through srcvinyl. Mastered for vinyl from the original tapes, Tin Cans With Strings to You and Water & Solutions stand as landmark masterworks untouched by time that reward listeners with every spin, making full use of the dynamic range that only high quality vinyl can provide.
