Farewell's New Genre

This album for Farewell, is a much deeper cut than their "Isn't This Supposed To Be Fun". They have grown in the last few years, and their music has too. They chose to completely give their all on this album, their first single "Devoid (That's What I Think About It)" is a catchy-alternative song, with a lot of twists and a mouthful of words. Marshall Davis the lead singer cuts deep on the track "Before I Wake" leads you to imagine hearing it on some teen romance movie, very sweet & musical, a favorite of mine personally. While on "Rock On The Radio" they choose to jam to the max, with some great guitar. "Catch-As-Catch-Can" describes Farewells travel over the years from small town garage band, to a new generation of punk hipsters with lines such as "I called my mom on the way from NC to L.A." representing their homestate and their road to success. "We All Fall Down" & "Drop Dead" are very grunge teen relatable songs, "A Collect Calll to Arms" really describes how "Karma can come around" for the better. "Sucker Bait", "Priorities Intact" & "Expect The Worst" round the album with rock out in your car type hits, very fun, and a little vengeful additives along the way. The last song on the album "Take It From Me" ties it up, a song that fans of Farewell couldn't imagine them doing, but the soulful vocals, and violins, make it a mid-tempo ballad & a five star listen. All in all Farewell has made it big with this album, & anyone should check it out.

Pop Punk is back!

Run it up the flagpole is the kind of pop punk album that should be coming out more often. This album embraces both sides of the spectrum, both the pop side AND the punk side of the genre that recently has been dominated by bands such as all time low, we the kings, the Maine, boys like girls, cute is what we aim for, the list goes on and on. The kind of Bands who can write a catchy as hell pop song, but don’t have the inherent energy or rocking edge of punk. Farewell on the other hand, know where they’re coming from, citing such bands as Green Day, and Blink-182 as influences, but they don’t just talk the talk (All time low) they walk the walk. their songs sound like a younger version of their influences, they sing about high school, girls, and generally being a teenager, but not the kind of music that you would hear on (insert generic teen soap opera here) in fact, the band seems just as dismayed at the direction of their beloved genre as this reviewer. with lyrics like, “when did rock an roll become this f-ing fashion show?” and “Follow us, we are the difference” they are ready to give real pop punk fans what they want. And ignore the bands that are getting closer and closer to becoming, backstreet boys clones that can play a few chords on the guitar. The album opens with we all fall down an anthemic track that sets the mood for the rest of the album. After “we all fall down” the breakneck drum intro of Devoid (that what I think about it) smacks you over the head and the song hits you while you’re down. This rocker really pulls you in to Farewell’s mentality on this record: less synth more guitar, less pop more pop-punk. “Ill smash my radio, devoid of any heart and soul!” what follows are a few bouncy pop-punk gems and then comes Before I wake, a heartfelt ballad about a dying friend, The genuine sincerity makes this track shine. Following before I wake, comes catch-as-catch-can, a song that chronicles the bands journey from sneaking out to see their first punk show to actually playing those same kind of shows. If I had to describe the album in one word it would be, consistent. All the songs go very well together, and if you like one you’re bound to the majority of the album. My only real complaint is that some of these songs, while being enjoyable are somewhat forgettable. Not to call them filler, but there is no real stand-out track like first one on the blog. From their first album. In fact, The variety of styles and synth, common elements from isn’t this supposed to be fun are for the most part gone, but what you are left with on run it up the flagpole, is a very solid REAL pop-punk album.

BEST FAREWELL ALBUM YET!

I love how the secret song has a title on here... haha

Biography

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '00s

Hailing from Greensboro, NC, the pop-punk sextet Farewell released their first EP, Poisoning the Lark, in 2005 with the Forsaken label.
