Farewell Typewriter is a four-piece rock band from Alameda, Calif. The band's songs are influenced by music that spans several genres, but contains several key elements: solid melodies, interesting arrangements and memorable sounds. You'll find that these all seep through into the band's music, as does a considerable amount of exuberant energy. What we're saying is: wear earplugs and prepare to sweat.
