Band Biography
The Farewell Reason started to play in summer 2001 after their former band Implicite (melodic punkrock) split-up. Igor, Franjo and Boris wanted to start something new, something completely different. They were inspired by the hardcore bands from the early nineties, so they wanted to start a band with different name, a different style, they wanted to express their selves, their thoughts, feelings, emotions… After a couple of months of playing they decided they want to play their first show so they needed a name for the band. The Farewell Reason was born. They played their first show with Nikad and Apfuken on 19th of October 2001 in legendary "Pub" in their home town Čakovec, Croatia.
In winter of 2001/2002 TFR recorded first demo CD-R called "Nothing is over…" . It was recorded in a D.I.Y. way, the quality was pretty shitty but they didn't care. In 2002 they promoted that first demo and played more than 20 shows in Croatia, Slovenia and Austria. After that, they decided that they need one more guitar player so Tomislav Pintarić joined the band. His first show with The Farewell Reason was in Zagreb in Attack with Off Minor and Radio Free Isaac. They worked on new songs and in autumn of 2004 recorded a material for their split LP with their friends from Outre. The record was finally released in October of 2005 after a lot of delays and all the other stuff on Good Samaritan Records. Right now the band is working on their new songs and they are promoting this new record. The tape release of that split LP is out on Brand New Place Records and Dirty Harry Punks.
The current line up is:
Igor Bistrović (guitars, vocals)
Tomislav Pintarić (guitars)
Franjo Filo (bass, vocals)
Boris Strahija (drums)
If we talk about the music that they play, well you can call it emotional hardcore, you can call it punk or hardcore, screamo… they don´ t care. They play what they like and what they feel and that´ s actually it. Lyrics are mostly personal and about the people they live with, about people that they care about and things that surround us. If you want to contact them or discuss with them about something feel free to write, feel free to talk to them after the show, they will appreciate it and if you want them to play in your basement, or living room or your local club they will be your friends forever. Have a nice day, hugs & kisses...
