A group of circa-1981 synth-pop fanatics from the wilds of Omaha, Nebraska, The Faint act as if time stopped the moment Duran Duran broke big or "Tainted Love" was omnipotent.
Certain phenomena cannot easily be explained: the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51, the ingredients in a Chicken nugget, that sort of thing. But all of these assorted mysteries fall in the wake of the most inexplicable band taking the world stage today, The Faint.
"Nothing about The Faint makes any sense and that just makes them better."
- Rolling Stone
A group of circa-1981 synth-pop fanatics from the wilds of Omaha, Nebraska, The Faint act as if time stopped the moment Duran Duran broke big or "Tainted Love" was omnipotent. Sounding like MC5 trying to kill funk-ridden big beat with their laptops, The Faint have developed into a keyboard heavy, new wave juggernaut, combining dance rhythms, heavily distorted guitars, and an almost industrial-like grind to create seductive odes to sex, death, and all that falls between. Their intelligently provocative punk electro pop is pulsing and melodic, throbbing and hypnotic yet they still manage to create order in their sonic chaos.
