McFarland – McFarland CD
McFarland is an indie rock band that formed in Los Angeles in late 2017 out of three different regionally touring bands. McFarland blends the hook filled melodies of the Replacements and Tiger Army with the hard driving crunch of Social Distortion. They got the look, the chemistry, and most of all the songs. Wrap it up tightly in a catchy chorus and serve it up hard on a plate of power chords, and you get McFarland. Check ‘em out today, you won’t be disappointed.
