About Me

Top of the fair is no more. We Played our last show on August 31st 2007. A huge thanks to everyone who supported us over the years by giving us a place to crash, free food, came to our shows, or booked us. Much love to you guys and please check out our new bands.- TOTF
Top of the Fair is a hardworking band from the suburbs of New Haven, Connecticut that began it's career at a young age. Beginning their touring experience at the age of 16, Top of the Fair has already accomplished alot in the few short years they have been a band. Enduring the hardships such as lineup changes, bad tours, countless van problems, and even a van accident Top of the Fair has paid their dues as one of Connecticut's hardest working bands. They released their first EP, "Putting the 'M' in Marvelous" in November of 2005 on the Oregon based label, New School Records and sold a ton of copies in pre-orders alone. With their refreshing sound and incredible work ethic, Top of the Fair just may be the next big thing.
We'll be on tour all summer so please keep an eye on our shows and see when we'll be coming to a town near you!
Love always

Reviews

From Connecticut - that's right, Connecticut - comes Top of the Fair with their debut EP Putting the "M" in Marvelous. Like its brethren in the emo/pop punk scene, it carries a series of numbers by teenaged musicians about girls that, though a beaten and dead horse, still rings universally with their peers and potential fans. Oregon-based New School Records (already two unlikely "scenes" are behind this) has released what could conceivably be the next big thing in the local scene...

"The CD is so extraordinary that you can't help but love every song from beginning to end. Top of the Fair will definately have my vote when it comes to Best of 2005" - Punk Reviews.com
"Top Of The Fair is definitely one of the best in the new breed of melodic punk bands, and Putting The "M" In Marvelous may only be indicative of greater things to come. Here's putting the "B" into what will surely be a Brilliant Career!" - Kenneth Morton of Highwire Daze
