- FAREWELL -. Marshall Davis Vocals
Wil Andrews Guitar
Kevin Carter Guitar
Jeff Ellis Drums
Buddy Bell Bass
The sophomore album poses an interesting situation for any artist: They can either take the if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it approach, or they can opt to push the envelope and try something progressive, all the while subjecting themselves to potential failure.
On Run It Up the Flagpole, Greensboro, NC pop-punkers FAREWELL have chosen the latter, toeing the line between sugary pop melodies and unbridled punk-rock energy while creating a record that both Top-40 fans and punk purists can enjoy equally. The set follows 2007's Isn't This Supposed To Be Fun!?, which, along with the band's earn-it-yourself attitude, kept Farewell on the road alongside acts including Forever The Sickest Kids, The Secret Handshake, Four Year Strong and Hit The Lights, as well as earning them a spot on last year's Van's Warped Tour.
When facing the task of writing Fun's follow-up, the band — vocalist Marshall Davis, guitarists Wil Andrews and Kevin Carter, bassist Buddy (just buddy) and drummer Jeff Ellis — set out with one goal: to diversify its sound while proving that it's possible to play catchy, pop-based music without pandering to overtly glossy production and studio trickery. So many bands' second record sounds exactly like their first one, and it's almost always a letdown, says Davis. We wanted to continue to move forward as a band and help expand our fans' perception of what pop-punk could be. That's why this new record has its own identity. It's a perfect blend of our past and present.
If you're looking for a record full of snot-nosed vocals and breakneck tempos, you'll probably be disappointed. Instead, Farewell's punk influence is exuded in swagger and attitude, drawing from influences like Jawbreaker and Screeching Weasel. Even so, it's clear the band isn't pulling any punches this time around. Calling out the cookie cutter caffeinated teens, deployed for mass consumption, the lead single Devoid (That's What I Think About It) kicks listeners in the teeth with massive Green Day-sized guitars and its rallying-cry chorus of When did rock and roll become this fucking fashion show!?
No, Farewell has not become a band of crusty punk-rock bellyachers. Nor have they turned their backs on the fan base that's supported them since the beginning. They're simply not willing to stand by and watch their pop-punk scene be overrun by sound-alike clones who care more about looking good than making good music. We're basically a punk-rock band that's more rock than punk, Davis laughs. I wish I could sing like Armstrong, but I guess I'll settle for Hoppus.
Farewell's members, most of whom had grown up playing in various punk and hardcore bands, came together in 2005 and quickly built a name for themselves, touring the Southeast and crafting their upbeat pop-rock sound, all the while showcasing for labels across the country. They eventually caught the ear of Epitaph founder Brett Gurewitz, who signed the group in 2007. It was an ideal situation for the band; many of their influences were veteran Epitaph artists. They understood our band and didn't want to change us, Davis says of the label. They were stoked on what we had to offer and gave us 100% creative control. It was perfect for us.
Throughout Run It Up the Flagpole, Farewell tempers it's us-against-the-world mentality with a hearty dose of earnestness and sincerity. That's best found on Catch As Catch Can, an autobiographical mid-tempo number that recaps the band's history – from its nascent stages in the dive-bars of North Carolina to an eventual deal with Epitaph and subsequent worldwide tourin

BIOGRAPHY
Craig Broombaugh: vocals, keyboards, guitar
Nick Stout: bass, vocals
Jon Zink: drums, vocals
You don’t cross paths with a band like No One Goes Home every day. They are talented, dedicated, and committed to making their dream work. Whatever it takes – and more – they will do: from leaving their hometown and succeeding in unfamiliar surroundings to embarking on a three month tour with only three days off. It may sound crazy and possibly a little unrealistic, but No One Goes Home is not letting anything impede their astounding process.
The name itself is fueled with the determination present in the band members: a moniker that states, according to Craig, “This is the last band I'm ever gonna be in, I have to make it work, no matter how hard things get, whether it be a bad show, a bad tour, or a bad record deal, we're in it till the end: 'No One Goes Home’” The band, rooted in a six year long friendship between Craig and Nick, adopted its current lineup in 2004. They attended the same high school and worked in the same establishment; Nick attended a great majority of Craig’s shows and even played live shows for one of the projects that led to the creation of No One Goes Home. Jon was the last piece of the puzzle to complete the band’s line-up after a successful audition in 2004.
Influences are important to a band’s structure – their variances culminating a musical outfit unique from the others over saturating the market, lining the shelves, and flooding the desks of A&R scouts. This trio is collectively influenced by The Beatles, Muse, Butch Walker, Less than Jake, Green Day, and many others that lie within the same vein. A listener can sense different aspects of these artists, but it is easy to set aside the qualities that are solely present in the music and being of No One Goes Home – the sincere quality of energy, clever but quirky lyrics, and the stylish fashion choices of the band members. The dyed hair that coordinates to their clothes and to each other makes it easy for them to stand out within a crowd – not that their personalities don’t already do so.
The eight-song EP distributed over ten thousand copies and has earned them a regular appearance on DJ Rossstar’s Punk Rock Show. Their list of achievements is long for a band not long involved in the industry with their fist full-length album dropping in January. The music scene is lacking a vibrancy that was once alive, but has been infiltrated with a focus on money and recognition. No One Goes Home seeks to restore the integrity within the scene. And, thus far, they have succeeded in doing so with their infectious poppy melodies and pop-punk anthems and their love for playing music.
