The Thousands

Before The Faint were introduced to a set of keys in ’99, they were a fairly unknown lo-fi indie band. Since then they’ve morphed into a keyboard heavy, roaring act. We know that this kind of flamboyant electro punk is everywhere now, but The Faint were way ahead of the game when they released BLANK WAVE ARCADE. Smashing out songs about everything from death to sex with distorted guitars and barely recognisable vocals, its hard to slap a lable on these fellas. – HM
