The Farrell Bros.

This is a Riot!, Riot!!

About Me

The Farrell Bros. rock like krazy! Frantic Rockabilly with a Country Twang, a Punk Rock attitude n’ shit-kickin’ sibling harmonies, it’s understandable why the Farrell’s have been described as ’The Everly Bros meet The Sex Pistols or Hank Williams at double speed’. With a live show that walks the fine line between sublime harmony and rampant acoustic assault, this powerful duo guarantees a lesson in the true essence of Rock n’ Roll. The Farrell Bros. started in Selkirk, Manitoba Canada in 1998 with Gordie n’ Shawn each playing guitar. After releasing their debut, ’The Ballad of Jackpine Slash’, they hooked up with a rhythm section for 2000’s ’Go To Hell’ EP. While the Bros sound is rooted in the traditional 50’s Rockabilly, they incorporate other musical elements and themes into their hybrid mix. With Gordie Farrell takin’ over the Dog-house bass duties, and Jeff Tetrault aka ’The Post-Atomic Hillbilly’, holdin’ down the drum kit. In spring of 2002 they found themselves back in the studio with new songs and the right line-up to lay down what would eventually be released in Canada as ’Rumble @ the Opry’ on the Teenage Rampage Records label, and worldwide as ’Curbstomp Boogie’ on Raucous Records. 2005 saw the Bros Canadian release of "This is a Riot!" on Stumble/Universal.
