Information AboutThe Faint |
|
The band originally consisted of Clark Baechle , Todd Fink (formerly known as Todd Baechle), and Joel Petersen . They signed to Saddle Creek Records and released a few singles, but were unable to establish widespread sales, though they were extremely popular in the Omaha-area. After adding Matt Bowen , The Faint released '' Media '', which established them within a small, national community of fans. While touring, Bowen left and was replaced by Jacob Thiele who helped move the next album, '' Blank-Wave Arcade '', towards a more dance and techno influenced sound. The album was an underground hit. Partway through the creation of the morose '' Danse Macabre '', The Faint added Dapose , a Death Metal guitarist formerly of LEAD . ''Danse Macabre'' was also a critical and commercial success and has helped to establish a wider fanbase for the band. Their latest album, released in 2004, is called '' Wet From Birth ''. On December 12th, 2005 , The Faint announced that they have moved out of The Orifice (a rented out Warehouse they used to record ''Wet from Birth'') and into a new, unnamed space where they will begin recording the tracks for their next album. Recent rumors spawning from an online Blog , Lazy-i , have circulated that The Faint will be leaving for American Recordings , and have their next album produced by the notable producer Rick Rubin . There has been no confirmation of the Validity of this information, and Saddlecreek Records has neither denied nor approved of this rumor, leaving this all to be rather speculative. BAND MEMBERS
