The Far-ther of Emo?

In Depth by ellen_dis

They were never hugely successful in the UK but Sacramento post-hardcore troubadours Far are seen as underground legends in certain metal circles. Hell is For Heroes and Biffy Clyro cite them as one of their influences and Funeral for a Friend have recorded a version of one of their songs as a b-side for forthcoming single ‘She Drove Me to Daytime Television’. One might say that Far were ahead of their time, their music pre-empting the sounds of the emo bands which flood MTV2 today.»
