Far was one of those bands that only come around once in a lifetime. Their ear exploding rock was stuff of legends. In 2008 we were all treated to a special cover of “Pony” which resurrected their populatirty and introduced a whole new generation to Far. Sadly it was short lived since Far quickly broke up after their 2010 release of “At Night We Live.”

We got a chance to talk to the former frontman, Jonah Matranga about why things fell apart and what he’s been up to.
