With every electronic trying to do the exact same thing, it isn't easy to have your own sound these days, but somehow Das Glow still manages pretty well. Every track he touches is different, but contains the same brilliance is the last. He's a praised and skilled remixer, and has created numerous amazing singles for himself. His latest stuff is probably the best yet, and there's been a lot of i...
I recently had the opportunity to send a couple questions to Jacob Thiele, the keyboardist from the Omaha, Nebraska electro rock band The Faint, about their upcoming tour with Ladytron, vegan recipes and 20th century artists.1. You guys are co-headlining a tour with Ladytron soon, where did this idea come from?I first heard this idea years ago and it didn't work out for some reason. We played a...
The Omaha, NE based-robots in disguise known as The Faint are in Australia this week and Japan next week. Fasciinatiion is out now via blank.wav. Here are a week of dates right before Christmastime where Clark and company will be...
I don't understand why this continuously happens to me (and apparently, a lot of other TMTers). My friends rave and rave about a band live, and either I can't make the show or the band doesn't schedule one near my home. Case in point: The Faint. So, The Faint were on tour the entire summer, right? But, of course, I was told about the show after they already played. Then I hear the great news: "...
The Faint released Fasciinatiion, their first album in four years, last month and this is the first single to come from that. As you will have come to expect from The Faint it contains a lot of throbbing, squelchy keyboards and an ass shaking guitar riff coupled with singer Todd Fink's trademark vocodor vocals. The [...]
Like your music angular and dance punky? Well rejoice, as The Faint have recently bounced back with a fifth album "Fasciination", this time completely self-produced. First single, "The Geeks Were Right" draws on the tenets of futurist literature and sliding, siren-call guitars… just what we know and love The Faint for, whilst being a bit different [...]
I’ve been a fan of The Faint for quite some time now. So when their new album, Fascination, came out, I was anxious to find what was inside. Fascination is filled with the same raw lyrics/vocals of Todd Fink and electro hooks that has gained them much notice in the music world. What makes Fascination [...]
The Faint played Roxy last night. I've come to realize I despise the Roxy, and am not too fond of the Faint. Even though their music isn't my thing I must admit the band has quite a stage show and the crowd - fashioned with an overabundance of headbands - was very much into the [...]~~
I traveled down to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to see The Faint at the Trocadero theatre this past Sunday and it proved to be quite the adventure. Over the course of my 11 hour round trip journey I had to deal with copious amounts of road construction (4 miles in an hour), a failing air conditioner, navigating the many one way streets of Philly and pedestrians in Chinatown oblivious to street lig...

Answers.com's definition of Banger is as follows: n. Chiefly British 1. A sausage 2. A noisy old car 3. A firework that explodes with a sudden loud noise. Description 3 is why we're calling the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix of The Faint 's "The Geeks Were Right" a total Banger! This track starts off as a tease, with just Todd's a cappella track playing, slightly being tricked out with filters...

So tomorrow's the big day, I'm headed down to see The Faint in Philly. Their new album is pretty bangin' and I can't wait to see them live. It's going to be a good time. In celebration of this event, I'm going to share some Faint songs with you, and maybe I'll see you there? The Faint - The Geeks Were Right (Does it Offend You, Yeah? remix) The Faint - Mirror Error The Faint - Fish in a ...
