Fair to Midland is an American progressive rock band formed in 1998. They are currently signed to E1 Music. According to the band’s official website, their name comes from “…an old Texan play on the term ‘fair to middling’.” The band produced two self-released albums and one album and an EP under Serjical Strike. They have recently finished recording their fourth studio album entitled “Arrows & Anchors”.
Fair to Midland was formed in 1998 by friends Andrew Darroh Sudderth and Cliff Campbell, both of Sulphur Springs, Texas. After their independent debut album in late 2001, The Carbon Copy Silver Lining, original drummer Jason Pintler left the band and former percussionist Brett Stowers took over drums. For their second album, 2004’s inter.funda.stifle, keyboardist Matt Langley, who was a guest musician on “The Carbon Copy Silver Lining”, joined the band. Though independently released, both albums were critically acclaimed, and the band toured extensively to promote the albums, becoming extremely popular in Dallas, Texas’ Deep Ellum scene. In 2005, bassist Nathin Seals left the group and was replaced by another Sulphur Springs native, Jon Dicken. In 2009, inter.funda.stifle, was re-released through their online merchandise store.

I've actually had to realize that "Arrows & Anchors" is one of my favourite 3 albums of 2011. To think I'd forgotten about them for like, 3-4 years... What a truly great, intriguing and exceptional band!!

Happy to see this is one of the rarer shoutboxes where people actually leave predominately positive comments... as they should! Fair to Midland are an incredible band... I remember first hearing Fables right at the beginning of 2008 and couldn't believe what I had stumbled upon! Arrows & Anchors definitely didn't disappoint either after the long wait... would love to see them again. Truly ORIGINAL which is so difficult to find these days... Darroh's vocal range has to be upwards of 5 octaves...

After catching their tour I can easily say Fair to Midland puts on a better live show that Dead Letter Circus. I was expecting more from DLC... album band imo...
