Farrah are an British indie rock band that formed in London in 1999.

History

After releasing their debut single "Terry" on the indie Noisebox label in the UK they were signed to The Police manager Miles Copland's Ark21 label for the release of their debut album "Moustache". The album was released in the UK, USA, Europe and Japan and saw the band tour the world extensively to support it. When Ark21 shut down operation in the UK, their second album "Me Too" was released on various independent labels throughout the world in 2004.

In addition to developing a harder rock sound, "Me Too" incorporated more diverse elements into their sound while still remaining true to the lyrically quirky 3-minute, harmony-laden, melody-driven power pop sound of "Moustache".

In late 2006 Farrah completed their third album, "Cut Out and Keep". It was released in 2007 in the UK, Spain and Japan.

Since early 2007, Farrah has been working with the Japanese pop rock artist Kaela Kimura. They have so far composed two songs for her, and she has covered their song, "No Reason Why".
