The Farrell Brothers are a rockabilly group from Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. Their stage show was noted for being professional and high energy.[1]

History[edit]

The Farrell Brothers have released six CDs,[2] beginning with 1999's The Ballad of Jackpine Slash.[3] 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 of them. They then set out on a tour in Canada to support their contribution to the Zombie Night in Canada compilation album.[4]

The band's 2003 album, Rumble @ The Opry!, released on the Teenage Rampage label, received positive reviews for its songwriting.[5] It was reissued in 2011 by the Transistor 66 label, and appeared on campus radio charts.[6]

In 2002 the Farrell Bros. performed at the Dawson City Music Festival.[7] They have performed in clubs, bars and small concert venues in various Canadian cities, including Vancouver[8] Toronto and Winnipeg.[9]

The sound on band's 2005 album, This is a Riot,[10] was compared to that of The Clash, and The Farrell Bros. contributed a track to the 2002 Clash tribute album "This is Rockabilly Clash".[11] A later release was Dead End Boys in 2007.[12][13]

Although no albums have been released since 2007, in September 2021, the band reported on its Facebook page that it is still together.[14]
