Watch "Going Home"

Written during a break in the band’s 2025 recording sessions, “Going Home” serves as both a personal statement and a mission statement for Farline’s return. It reflects the band’s commitment to preserving the honesty of the original creative spark while pushing the production into a bigger, more expansive frame.

Bio summary

Farline returns with unfinished business.

More than three decades after their earliest recordings, rock band Farline returns with a new record born from rediscovery — songs written in their youth, now reimagined with the perspective of the present. With the support of three-time GRAMMY-winning mix engineer Tom Lord-Alge, the band brings these long-lost recordings to life with a renewed sense of clarity and scale. Blending anthemic, stadium-scale rock with emotionally driven songwriting, Farline draws influence from ’80s and ’90s hard rock artists, as well as bands like U2, Pink Floyd, and Rush, crafting a sound that feels both timeless and immediate.
Leading this new chapter is “Going Home,” written during a break in the band’s 2025 recording sessions and arriving May 19. Written and produced by Mike, the song serves as both a personal and creative statement.
Reuniting the original creative relationships was essential to that process. Each member brings a distinct voice — from Brandon’s dynamic vocal range and Rich’s unique percussive style to Mike’s layered guitar work and vintage synth textures, alongside Bryan’s emotionally driven lyrics. While modern tools shaped the recording process, the band remained committed to analog mixing to preserve the warmth and character that first drew them back to the material.
In an era defined by immediacy, Farline’s story unfolds differently — shaped by patience, rediscovery, and the belief that meaningful music endures. As this music rolls out throughout 2026, the band is focused on what comes next: bringing these songs to audiences both on record and beyond. For Farline, the past isn’t something to move on from. It still feels unfinished.

Artist quote

"When we found the original tapes, it felt like unfinished business. Recording Running Blind wasn't just making a song, it was completing something we started decades earlier."
