After Devin Ocampo (vocals/ guitar) and Chad Molter (drums) moved to Washington DC, Jeff Boswell (bass/ Moog) was recruited to complete the Faraquetline-up in 1998. Influenced by the DC sound brought on by the seminal likes of
Fugazi,
Jawbox and the
Nation of Ulysses, the band released their debut EP on DeSoto Records in 1998 followed by a split EP with Milwaukee's Akarso the next year. In the new millennium,
View From This Tower was issued in fall 2000. ~ Mike DaRonco
