I just started listening to them, and I really dig Run it Up the Flagpole (especially a Collect Call to Arms) and I like 88s and First One on the Blog from ITSTBF? Any recs?

Never heard of them until now, checked out their new album on MySpace...

The bad news: they are pretty generic so lots of bands sound like them.

For more examples of this style of music, stick with their label, Epitaph...

If you aren't into No Use for a Name and Unwritten Law yet, listen to them, they are great and similar in sound

Try 'Karate High School', they're quite similar.

Here's an oldie worth checking out: The Reunion Show. Their singer is now in Action Action.

As far as newer bands go, The Method To My Medium sound a lot like Farewell's first record as does Artist Vs. Poet.

Just remembered these guys, Mathletes. They were featured on Free Music Friday not that long ago.

The Reunion Show melded together 2 defunct ska acts, Edna's Goldfish and Step Lively. The singer of Edna's was primarily backup in The Reunion Show, but was the far superior vocalist, which disappointed me greatly.

That was a highly unecessary post.

I am a king of useless trivia and enjoy passing on such useless info.

Hey, as long as you're aware of that.

If nothing else, you can take from it that the lead singer of Action Action, The Reunion Show, and Step Lively (same guy) kinda sucks.

If you like Farewell you have to do yourself a favor and check out Mathletes. I love both bands. Mathletes and Farewell are like twins separated at birth music wise in my opinion.
