Starting out in 1991, CMU favourites Far are an indie-rock band from Sacramento, California. After releasing two albums on their own label, Our Own Records, the band signed to Sony/Epic/Immortal and released the album 'Tin Cans With Strings To You' in 1996, which was followed by their most popular album to date, 'Water & Solutions', in 1998. After disbanding in 1999, the members went on to work on a number of other projects before reuniting in 2008. And now the band release a cover of Ginuwine's R&B hit 'Pony' this week via Bright Antenna Records.

Frontman Jonah Matranga told CMU how the band came to record the Ginuwine cover. He told us: "Far was getting some shows together under a fake band name (Hot Little Pony), so we recorded that cover as the song for our fake band's MySpace jukebox. I still don't really think of it as a Far song. I love it, but the rest of the record [forthcoming album 'At Night We Live', on which the cover will appear] is the real shit. We all just laughed at the thought of us covering this dirty R&B song, so we did it. And there you go".
