if i can help it, i avoid becoming a real fan of any band with male members under the age of 18.
call it a personal rule, but with my track record of musician obsessions i feel it helps keep my conquests (real and imaginary) legal. but lucky for me the boys, and i’m talking friday night dance in the cafeteria boys, of new faces are just about to take their first step over the non-statichtory line. su-weet.
new faces is no secret. the boys have been cranking out tunes solid enough to trick you into thinking they’d been closing down the old cha cha for awhile now. hell, their sound is seasoned enough to convince you they closed down whatever the fuck came before it!
the only hint that new faces isn’t allowed to stay at the venue once their set is finished comes with the ever so slight apprehension in nico’s dynamite voice. he does the kind of vocals that make you ask yourself “is he talking or is he singing?” makes listening more fun. whatever he’s doing with his surprisingly low, consistent voice, it’s working.
with a passionate strokes infatuation in my past, i was wary to dive into the world of new faces. they have been compared to them too many times, but i suppose it’s fitting. new faces is the less glamorous version of julian casablanca and the gang but that’s maybe because there permit photos weren’t taken for rolling stone.
i trust new faces though. they’re gonna be a big deal, and not just in seattle. i’m already drawing hearts on my mirror in lipstick around drummer conor’s name, so they better age quick.
or i’m in big trouble.
check out the boys here. impressive shit.
you know they’ll be cap hillin’ it circa 2012….
