Far From Alaska are a Brazilian rock band formed in 2012, and based in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. In 2012 the band won the contest "Som Para Todos", which included a concert at the Planeta Terra Festival in São Paulo and a distribution contract with Deckdisc. According to keyboardist Chris Botarelli, the band's name does not mean anything special; it was a mere sugestion of vocalist Emily Barreto's mother that ended up pleasing the band members after they failed to reach an agreement.
