This is a hot little nugget of news that I have to share with you. This spring Ladytron and The Faint will be touring North America... together! The awesomeness is unfathomable to me at this point. Anywho, Ladytron will be releasing an EP of mixes from their last album Velocifero. In related Ladytron news, the band have been in the studio with Christina Aguilera helpering her to write new songs for her forthcoming album and in addition to the epic tour with The Faint the band is slated to DJ around the world and perform with Brian Eno and [...]

Love More Than Music ( ) Rachael Pollard - A Good Thing Denverite Rachael Pollard has been making music for a long time. She's one of the local acts that, when you talk about her to other people, those people look at you and say things like "of course you like Rachael Pollard, she's amazing." Those people saying that aren't even the snobs. Her voice is timid and adorable, though not spot on, which, in my mind, doesn't matter at all, because we have to many "good," spot on [...]

As regular readers will no doubt be aware I am quite the fan of Omaha electro-rockers The Faint (understatement? Possibly...). Hence my excitement at today's announcement that their UK tour in November has become a UK & Ireland tour. According to the band's myspace page they'll hit Ireland for a show in Crawdaddy on Monday November 17th. No ticket details are available yet, but rest assured as soon as they are they'll be posted here. In the meantime let's all entertain ourselves with one of the best tracks from Fasciinatiion , The Faint's [...]

The Faint regresa este año con nuevo disco bajo el brazo. Fasciinatiion es el quinto álbum de la banda de Nebraska que lanzaron por Saddle Creek Records, sello independiente con sede en esa misma tierra de buenos talentos. El primer sencillo de este LP es "The Geeks Was Right" (Jackie les posteó anteriormente el MP3 ). Sinceramente, no me sorprende mucho esta canción, prácticamente sigue siendo el mismo dance-punk que vienen haciendo de sus últimas entregas. No he escuchado bien Fasciinatiion pero haciendo una evaluación prematura, puedo decir que [...]

The Faint - Fasciinatiion Verdict: Love More (<3) This album was surprising to say the least. It's a lot more subdued than their previous albums, trading the whirlwind of noisy dance music for more popping and locking almost alterna-rap (I didn't host the really alt-rap-ish song, but search for Fulcrum and Lever). The effect left me wondering for a moment, but after the initial shock of hearing the Faint experiment with a different sound, I found myself having just as good a time [...]

MP3: The Faint - Mirror Error Fuck yeah, so here we are on the grand new release Tuesday and we've got a brand spanking new record from The Faint , everybody's old friend. "Fasciinatiion" may not be light on the letter 'I', but it is light in the sound. What? It's true, but it's fantastic. The first 2 songs ( that includes single "The Geeks Were Right" ) will tease you into thinking it's more of the same of their sound found on "Wet From Birth" ( I'll let you decide [...]

• The Faint - Mirror Error

Answers.com's definition of Banger is as follows: n. Chiefly British 1. A sausage 2. A noisy old car 3. A firework that explodes with a sudden loud noise. Description 3 is why we're calling the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix of The Faint 's "The Geeks Were Right" a total Banger! This track starts off as a tease, with just Todd's a cappella track playing, slightly being tricked out with filters. Then someone lights the fuse which burns until the firework explodes, showering down a dance floor inferno. It's glorious. [...]

(photo by Scott Dobry) Fasciinatiion is out August 5 on The Faint 's own blank.wav imprint. The dude's be going out on tour as previously blogged here , so, you know, catch them. Honestly, we've never posted at all about Does It Offend You, Yeah? and we honestly can't say why. Maybe it was the name and us thinking it was too fucking snotty to even cover, but these guys make "The Geeks Were Right" so good it's almost like you didn't even know what the original [...]
