History


After releasing their debut single "Terry" on the indie Noisebox Records label in the UK they were signed to The Police manager Miles Copeland III's Ark 21 Records for the release of their debut album, Moustache. The album was released in the UK, US, Europe and Japan and saw the band tour the world extensively to support it. When Ark21 shut down operation in the UK, their second album Me Too, was released on various independent labels throughout the world.
Farrah have maintained their independent status ever since. Recording at their own South London recording studio, producing their own videos and managing their online presence.
In late 2006, Farrah completed their third album, Cut Out and Keep. It was released in 2007 in the UK, Spain and Japan and accompanied by a world tour.
In early 2007, Farrah began working with the Japanese pop rock artist Kaela Kimura. They composed two songs for her, and she covered their song, "No Reason Why". One of Japan's leading rock bands, Asian Kung-Fu Generation invited Farrah to appear at the Nano-Mugen Festival on two occasions.
In 2009, they released their self-titled fourth album in Japan with former Cotton Mather drummer Dana Myzer in its lineup. The album, with a slightly different track listing, was released in the rest of the world in May 2010.
Farrah's cover of Europe's "The Final Countdown" was included on Engine Room Recordings 2011 compilation album, Guilt by Association Vol. 3.
Farrah co-founder Andrew Campbell also owns and runs the indie record label Lojinx.
