Their trilling 6 track self-titled EP will blow the roof off your home. This independent band deserves a lot of airplay and you'll know why after listening to this album. The quartet is determined to make it big, and has a sound that could get them there. Catchy guitar riffs, fast bass lines and hard drumming build solid foundations for their well-constructed songs. The band’s lineup, which features childhood friends Chris Allen on guitar and lead vocals, Joe Anastasi on lead guitar and background vocals, Brian Cohen on bass, and Steve Montemarano on drums, is everything a rock band should be- fun, upbeat, in-your-face with passion in their lyrics, and most of all, talented! FACE*FIRST revive the lush gusto of the alternative spirit. Clear arrangements and delightful irreverence combine to create an excellent listening experience while avoiding the stamp of modern day clichés. Their overall use of rhythm gives them a very unique sound. Tracks like, "Crazy," "Saturday Night" and "You Make Me Sick" are different from every other single being played on the radio today. Radio stations have taken notice, with several tracks from the EP being played on M4 radio, New York’s Q104.3, Boston University’s WTBU, Alaska’s 103.1 and others. The print and internet media have jumped on the bandwagon with interviews and rave reviews in Icon Magazine, LA’s All Access Magazine, Inside Connection, Northeast In-Tune and more. FACE*FIRST is currently promoting their EP and continues to write and develop new music. They admit it would be great to achieve large-scale recognition but realize creating music together is something they just love to do. FACE *FIRST had this to say in a recent interview with Icon Magazine- “when music is in your blood, you have no choice but to bring that music to fruition. We will do our part to create what we think is good music. What the industry does with it and what people think of it, is out of our hands. We really don’t care. We’ll keep making music whether or not anyone cares about FACE*FIRST.” Their tunes are infectious and their sound is tight. If you like catchy hooks and driving beats, you will love FACE*FIRST. What listeners on the web are saying about FACE*FIRST: The Groove Heroes... A great energetic pop band driven by strong male vocals that jump in your face with great lyrics. Very clean and original approach... The band is VERY strong, backing this vocalist with powerful supportive lines and harmonies. This is something that most bands don't seem to get. They're not simply turning up the volume to get this power. They're combining forces to create the almighty groove. That's what powers these super heroes... They're the Groove Heroes. Great Infectious Work. - ajak Port Orchard, Washington Energetic Performance... Good sounds and full power energy This band give us another pos-Green day generation, Kind of "Young forever" attitude, I like it! -Avi_Studio Tel Aviv, Israel Energy in your face... Driving song with a fun to listen to feel. Good production and engineering. The mix is as close to perfect as you can get. Catchy chorus. Bridge with its sudo-reggae feel is compelling; this is a radio song all the way. -EliThomas Tonasket, Washington 5 friggin stars! Cool...this song is defiantly better then most of the stuff I've reviewed. I really like the chorus. Screw 4 stars I'm giving you 5. A job very well done. -HBTmusic Layton, Utah Upbeat offbeats introduce upfront rock love song... Cool intro, cool everything! The sound is near top notch! Solid beats, booming positive bass line with deceiving choppy guitar riffs that bounce off each other into insanity. Cool stereo application of guitars on mix! Together they sound like one! Nice vocal ideas from start to finish! If you like Cracker check these guys out! - Cultureversy Amarillo, Texas Radio Ready... I like the way this song doesn't waste any time getting started. The rhythm section is really tight. The guitars are right on the money ... the singer delivers the lyrics with great conviction. The bridge was very hip. It reminded me of old Joe Jackson. Overall, this is a pop-radio friendly rock song. - papaearwig Los Angeles, California
