The Farrell Bros.

The Farrell Brothers are a rockabilly group from Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada.   Their stage show was noted for being less flamboyant than that of most rockabilly bands.

History

In 2002 the Farrell Bros. performed at the Dawson City Music Festival. They performed in clubs, bars and small concert venues in various Canadian cities, including Vancouver Toronto and Winnipeg. They independently released a number of CDs. The sound on band's 2005 album, This is a Riot, was compared to that of The Clash, and The Farrell Bros. contributed a track to The Clash tribute album. A later release was Dead End Boys in 2007. 

The band's 2003 album, Rumble@the Opry, released on the Teenage Rampage label, received positive reviews for its songwriting.  It was reissued in 2011 by the Transistor 66 label, and appeared on campus radio charts.

Two of the band's independent albums were re-released in England by Raucous Records, and in 2006 The Farrell Bros. completed a 30-stop tour in Europe in support them.  They then set out on a tour in Canada to support their contribution to the  Zombie Night in Canada compilation album.
