Introduction

‘Designed To Be’ Debut Album - Released November 11th 2012 Stourbridge’s Fans of Faye have been focusing their attention on the Midlands gig circuit in recent years, which has seen them support the likes of Versa Emerge, Francesqa, Natives,Exit Ten & Recently Minus The Bear. Now with their debut album, Designed To Be, released November 11th 2012, they are ready to firmly cement the band’s growing reputation with an extensive tour of the UK. ‘Ghost’ is the second single to be taken from the album.

Bio

In 2003, Stourbridge native Zachary Hart formed a band aged just twelve; 2013 will therefore see the tenth anniversary of his band’s formation and although the intervening years have seen many personnel changes, today’s fixed line-up shares the same ambitions and passion as the three friends who began it all, nearly a decade ago. Like many young outfits, the band has been through many name changes, covering the not-so-sublime to the entirely ridiculous. But in the winter of 2004, a dear friend and inspiration to the band, Faye, tragically lost her life in a car crash. She was the catalyst for their youthful passion for writing and performing their own music, so her premature death sealed the band’s moniker as a lasting testimony. Shunning the usual hasty rush to play on the national scene, Fans of Faye instead chose to focus on the Midlands gig circuit. After all, this heartland of music has in the past given us Diamond Head, The Wonder Stuff, Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and, of course, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, who is still a regular sight strolling around town (indeed, Plant previously went to the same college as Zach and Ian). This rich musical heritage is a motivation and inspiration for Fans of Faye and yet they are also very keen to mark out their own creative path. This local live focus has been rewarded with a strong and loyal fan-base, who in return have seen them support the likes of Versa Emerge, Francesqa, Not Advised/Natives and The Casting Out (ex-Boy Sets Fire). Their impressive live pedigree has now been channelled into a debut album, Designed To Be, produced by Gavin Monaghan/Magic Garden Recording Studios, due for release in autumn 2012. Their first full-length record will firmly cement the band’s growing reputation as an exciting and hugely promising new act, energetically supported by an extensive tour of the UK. This twin attack will undoubtedly see FoF upgrade their regional fan-base to a national level. The first single to be taken from the debut will be released on September 3rd, 2012 entitled ‘Paint The Sun’. The accompanying video was produced by the excellent Wide Awake Films. Get used to hearing the words … “We are … Fans Of Faye”.

  • Perhaps the greatest compliment to this song is that it truly feels like it encapsulates the title, ‘Paint the Sun’. The uplifting chorus sends a tingle through your body and the gentle breakdowns give a different texture and show a lighter side to the band. The drumming deserves a deal of the credit, becoming the driving force behind the track, which can be both powerful and beautiful.

  • Loud, brash and self-assured piece of pop rock. Drums build to a powerful, angry chorus that will be screamed in a sweaty mosh pit near you soon…

  • More Rock than Indie. It's not the tightest performance but it has energy and vigour and the singer sounds good. They need to work further on getting a more original slant for me. This is well arranged but the song itself is not saying anything new. Potential is there - keep at it boys.
