Artist description
LAYERS OF INTRICATE GUITAR AND KEYBOARD TINKERINGS, MELODIC DRONE, DRIVING VOLUMES AND HEARTFELT VOCALS CREATE THE SOUNDSCAPE THAT IS THE WICKED FARLEYS. THE BAND'S SOUND IS UNIQUELY THEIR OWN, ALTHOUGH TRACES OF MY BLOODY VALENTINE, MISSION OF BURMA AND EVEN PINK FLOYD CAN BE FOUND. IN THIS ERA OF "INSERT GENRE NAME HERE" ROCK, THE FARLEYS STYLE CAN BE BEST DESCRIBED AS COLLAGE ROCK.THE BAND HAS THREE NATIONAL TOURS AND COUNTLESS WEEKENDS UNDER THEIR COLLECTIVE BELT (A 6 WEEK NATIONAL TOUR IS PLANNED FOR AUG/SEPT) AND HAVE SHARED THE STAGE WITH THE LIKES OF YO LA TENGO, BLONDE REDHEAD, KARATE, THE MAKE UP, THE PROMISE RING, MODEST MOUSE, AND THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN. |
