History
The band released its debut EP on May 24, 2005, entitled Poisoning the Lark, on Forsaken Records.
After posting new tracks on their MySpace page, Farewell was scouted by the owner of Epitaph Records, Brett Gurewitz who offered them a deal in March 2007. The band's first full-length album, Isn't This Supposed to Be Fun? appeared on the label on September 25, 2007. The album was released in The UK on February 4, 2008. Farewell was slated to tour the UK with Cartel in 2008, but the tour was cancelled. They then proceeded to tour the UK with You Me at Six and Houston Calls in October 2008.
Farewell cites punk rock bands such as Green Day, Jawbreaker and Alkaline Trio as influences. On July 25, 2008, Chris Lee left the band. On April 22, 2009, Kevin Carter was named The Triad's Best Guitarist of 2009 in YES! Weekly's reader's choice awards. Their second album entitled Run It Up the Flagpole was released on September 1, 2009.
After a hiatus in 2010, Farewell announced on October 16, 2011 that they are working on a new album to be released in the winter of 2012. Farewell once again began writing new material in the summer of 2013, though no new release date has been confirmed from the band.
