Farmikos

Los Angeles-based Farmikos is a hard rock band that has not only reinterpreted the music of the '70s but has built a fire beneath the heavy sounds of that era. They have forged those gloriously organic classic rock elements in a crucible with progressively melodic influences to create a hybrid music that is both backward-looking and forward-seeking. Following that philosophy, the band actually tracked and mixed directly to analog tape-the way the iconic masters did it four decades ago-and then transferred all the music to digital for editing. Joe Holmes, Robbie Locke and Brent Hoffort share a common chemistry-the sound of breaking down old walls and building new ones.
