Far Apart was a seminal but short-lived emo band from Luleå, Sweden, active between 1995 and 1999. They are primarily recognized for bridging the gap between the aggressive post-hardcore of Fugazi and the melodic, introspective 'Midwest Emo' movement popularized by labels like Crank!
Records. Their sound is characterized by dynamic shifts, dual-guitar interplay, and a fiercely independent punk ethos that led them to reject major label interest at the height of their underground popularity. Despite a limited official discography, including the acclaimed 'Hazel' 7-inch, they remain a cult favorite among collectors of 90s emo and second-wave screamo. Their influence is often cited in the context of the 'Swedish Emo' scene alongside bands like Starmarket and Last Days of April. The band's legacy is defined by their refusal to compromise their DIY roots, eventually disbanding before the release of their planned full-length, 'The Blood Meridian Record'.
