Title: NEW (old) FARAQUET.
Post by: greenMonkey on 23 Jun 2008, 13:32

I just stumbled across this page on the Dischord website: CLICKY! (http://www.dischord.com/news/234)

Faraquet are releasing a compilation of singles and alternate versions of some songs at the end of July.  I'm totally pumped: I love this band I think it's a pity they stopped after one album.  Also, I've heard some of the as-yet-to-be released singles on bootleg recordings, and they rock (the song Yo-Yo is completely badass).

Here's (http://www.dischord.com/release/159) the page for the album.

oh fuck yes


The View From This Tower was excellent, in the vein of "those albums that when you first listen you don't really stop listening until like, the next day" excellent.

and plan to perform periodically with the full original line-up once the album is released.

Just the possibility of them playing somewhere close to here is making me excited.

"Yo-yo" was released on the split EP with Akarso. It is definitely a badass song.

To be fair tommy, I did not post when the last thread existed.

I would actually rub your penis on this band when they play a DC Show.
