Farrah (band)

For the model and actress, see Farrah Fawcett

Farrah are a UK power pop quartet formed in the north east of England in 1999. After releasing their debut single "Terry" on the indie Noisebox label in the UK they were signed to The Police manager Miles Copland's Ark21 label for the release of their debut album "Moustache". The album was released in the UK, USA, Europe and Japan and saw the band tour the world extensively to support it. Alas, the albums commercial failure bankrupted Ark21 and in 2003 their 2nd album was released on various independent labels throughout the world.

Whilst developing a harder rock sound “me too” incorporated more diverse elements into their sound whilst still essentially remaining true to the 3-minute harmony-laden melody-focussed power pop format the band became known for.

Although Farrah have built up a solid fan base over the years they have never crossed into the mainstream consciousness and remain largely unknown outside indie / power pop circles. The band are often cited alongside bands such as Fountains Of Wayne and Weezer as keepers of the contemporary power pop flame.
