New Discovery: Farewell, My Love



I have to admit that Farewell, My Love aren't that new to me. In fact I've been a fan for a while so you can imagine how excited I am about finally getting into contact with them (well, as far as some replies on twitter count as contact).

What many teenagers, including myself, look for in music is a place to escape. A chance to forget our daily struggles and to let go. We look for bands who understand what's going on in our minds and who use their music to express our feelings. We let their lyrics speak for us, we let them inspire us to carry on, we let them give us strength to keep fighting.
Farewell, My Love definitely belong to the bands who are capable of doing this for me. They remind me of My Chemical Romance during their Welcome To The Black Parade era but vocalist Rian Howell has a very remarkable voice which separates his band from many other theatrical rock bands out there. The other four members, guitarists Röbby Creasey and Logan Thayer, bassist Charlee Conley and drummer Chad Kowal complete this unique style.
Founded in 2011, they released their first EP A Dance You Won't Forget the same year and were signed for Standby Records soon after.
This EP is quite impressive for a band's first EP because it lets the listener think that these guys haven't done anything else since forever when in fact they're only at the beginning of a promising career. My absolute favourite song on A Dance You Won't Forget is Just Another Soul. No matter how often I listen to it, it always sends shivers down my spine, mostly because of the lyrics. “Scars run down your arms to make you feel like something. I'm so lonely and it's killing me, it's tearing me apart.“ Not only do they know how it feels, they're also role models for all of their fans who struggle with the same self-destructive addictions. These guys are the best example to show how it gets better and how dreams come true when you work hard enough.

In early 2013, Farewell, My Love released their second EP Mirror, Mirror with three brand new songs, a cover of Bon Jovi's song It's My Life and an acoustic version of Just Another Soul. If I wasn't broke as hell, I'd download both EPs because they're simply amazing. So, if you have some spare money, go and download their songs! You won't regret it, I promise!
I'm very excited to watch the five guys from Phoenix, Arizona grow and develop, I'm one million percent sure that they'll create many more beautiful songs and memories for all of us in the future!
