Bands you loved that faded away • Page 115

I've listened to 5 of those

 

I would not describe Real Estate as a forgotten band but great haul

 

That Hippos album rocks. I got that on vinyl and CD. The Honorary Title album is great too. And obviously Transit.

 

outside of my best friend who showed me them ive never heard anyone ever talk about them, online and otherwise

 

I remember these guys really pushing that Party In The USA cover haha.

 

They were bigger in the 2010’s with the Pitchfork crowd. Def not super popular but not unknown at all. We have a thread for them here!

Real Estate - The Main Thing (Domino, 2/28/20) • forum.chorus.fm

 

currently revisiting the powerpop classic Isn't This Supposed To Be Fun!? by Farewell and this song is still the jammer!

 

Oh man, this just took me back! That album is ridiculously good, and I remember seeing them live at the time when they supported You Me At Six. I have never seen a drop-off so hard with their second album though, so sad, then they disappeard completely

 

Loved these guys. Spoke to them a few times on MySpace haha.

With Houston Calls on support as well? I think I was there are one of those shows.

 

Farewell are a local band for me so it was wild watching them get 'big'. It was also a bit jarring to hear their sound change for ITSTBF.

They posted a lot of demos on Myspace before the album came out and honestly I still like the demo version of War more than the album version. I'll try to track down a rip.

Their bass player actually ended up with a large role on a TLC show (My Big Fat Fabulous Life). They played a reunion show a few years ago but I don't think they will reunite again as their guitarist passed away a year or so ago
