Editor's note

Far's atmospheric rock from Sacramento

A band that shaped '90s post-hardcore with ethereal guitars and haunted vocals.

If you're new to Far, start with 'Water & Solutions' and 'Give Me a Reason', they frame that blend of drive and atmosphere pretty cleanly.

Far's 1994 debut 'Water & Solutions' gave a name to their sound, a mix of hardcore energy and introspective atmosphere that felt different from the era's louder alternatives. Songs like 'Celebrate Her' and 'Give Me a Reason' wrapped emotional weight in melodic, driving arrangements that stuck with listeners long after the band's initial breakup. Their reunion in 2010 showed how those records had held up, drawing fans back to that same textured space.

They formed in Sacramento in 1991, with Jonah Matranga on vocals and Shaun Lopez on guitar. After 'Water & Solutions' in 1994 and 'Tin Cans with Strings to You' in 1996, they broke up in 2000 due to creative differences, then reunited a decade later.

Archive material and source history

Far formed in Sacramento in 1991, with Jonah Matranga on vocals and guitar, Shaun Lopez on guitar, Chris Dodd on bass, and Kevin Coleman on drums. Their sound pulled from hardcore punk and alternative rock, but they developed something more atmospheric and introspective. Their 1994 debut album was called 'Water & Solutions,' which is also the title of one of their best-known songs.

That album established a template of ethereal guitar textures and Matranga's haunted vocal delivery. They followed it with 'Tin Cans with Strings to You' in 1996, which brought them wider attention. Songs like 'Celebrate Her' and 'Give Me a Reason' showed their knack for wrapping emotional weight in melodic, driving arrangements.

The band broke up in 2000 after growing creative differences and personal tensions. They stayed apart for about a decade before reuniting in 2010. Since then, they've released new material and toured, reconnecting with the audience that had held onto records like 'Water & Solutions' and 'Tin Cans with Strings to You.'
