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 [...]

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 [...]~~

In celebration of this event, I'm going to share some Faint songs with you, and maybe I'll see you there?

As much as I'd like to blame this on you, I won't - because that wouldn't be fair. You haven't changed; you're still every bit as glitchy, rumbling, synth-pop as you ever were and your songs are still as narrative driven as ever. But something's different here, Faint.

--- - |- The Faint's newest release "The Geeks Were Right" contains everything we've come to expect from them, squeaky analogue bass, menacing spindly guitars, and of course the playfully nightmarish lyrics and vocals of Todd Fink filtered through various effects. Their new album "Fasciinatiion" is definitely my most anticipated release of this year. Now the question is... see them in NYC or P...

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...
