The Farmer's Boys were a British band from Norwich, England. They formed in the early 1980s and were briefly called “Bang Goes My Stereo” before changing their name to The Farmer’s Boys.

Their first single, "I Think I Need Help", was release in April 1982 with a few more releases in the same year. In January 1983 "More than a Dream" was reissued as their first single for EMI. Several more singles and 2 albums were released until the band split in 1985.

Baz and Mark went on to form “The Avons” in 1985. Mark later joined The Nivens, Stan formed Dr Fondle and Frog played keyboards on a Julian Cope tour in the late eighties.

In 2000, Baz, Mark & Stan got back together as The Great Outdoors.
