Face To Face

[XpunkXroutineX]

I checked. And there was no thread for these guys.

Discuss...

[PaulsRightNut]

i actually just got some songs from them not too long ago and i enjoyed it i suppose

[decom_poseur]

I miss them

[XpunkXroutineX]

You suppose?? What songs were they? I have never met a -to quote- "true punk fan", that didnt like Face to Face

[AP_Punk]

Great band.

[AP_Punk]

First band i ever saw live as they supported Alkaline Trio around seven years ago.

I wish I could've seen them live in concert. Another band I missed out on.

[CountMeOut923]

they were a pretty good band.

im still kind of surprised that they had a documentary made. i mean really, face to face? i can think of several other bands that should be in front of them for that.

[CellarGhosts]

I'm listening to How to Ruin Everything right now and am loving it.

[AP_Punk]

Face To Face re-unite for festivals this summer (http://www.punknews.org/article/27498)

def one of my favorites....I might just have to suck it up and go to bamboozle :-|

[Dr. Acula]

I might just have to suck it up

Firstly, that's what she said.

Secondly, I thought Face to Face had a thread?...the search hasnt been working for me though lately. Anyone else have this problem? Anyway, Face to Face were super. I love love love them. They need to come to chicago, mmhm :nod:

When I heard about Forgive Durden breaking up I looked up the search for the news, but nothing came up. Unfortunately I asked and recieved the link.

So I'm not sure.

been a while since I've listened to these guys, think I'll give Dont Turn Away a listen here.

I hate the "x"'s in my old username. :-D

[Buried A Lie]

Band reminds me of high-school.

[AP_Punk]

I love "Velocity".

[AP_Punk]

Hm...I wonder why "Shoot the Moon" didn't make it onto the Shoot the Moon comp.

And why they didn't record a studio version of "I'm Trying". But then I'm fine with that live version.

[Chris Fallon]

Self-titled album is one of my favorites.

[AP_Punk]

haha it didn't? weird. that's one of my favorite F2F songs.

[AP_Punk]

Saaaaame here.

[Genuma]

Was that your old account, Kirbie?

[AP_Punk]

Heh. Yeah.

For a while I forgot the password to this account, was too stupid and lazy to make a new one and all that, so I created a new account. Then after a while I decided to use this one again.

I come up with bad username names.

[Genuma]

AP Punk is my favorite username in this place, though. AbsolutePunk Punk? Awesome.

[concealer611]

I love Big Choice, probably my favorite of all their albums. My very first ever "show" was seeing them in '95 so they hold a special place for me.

[AP_Punk]

Big Choice was the first album I bought by 'em! I love it too.

[Linda Ferreira]

Trever Keith - Melancholics Anonymous (digital only release)
http://treverkeith.com (http://treverkeith.com/) (available to stream entirely here)
Solo album from the frontman of Face To Face

[AP_Punk]

oh snap. Thanks for the link! Almost forgot about that.

[CellarGhosts]

coolness! thanks for that.

[AP_Punk]

Halfway in and it's pretty good.

That's what she said.

[AP_Punk]

I really like "Polish", "Half Asleep", "Say Goodbye Again", and "Melancholics Anonymous".

Wish it was available to buy on CD or cassette or something physical though.

[Czarsy]

Good band.

[daniellee]

my first "show" was face to face aswell, it was amazing.

[CellarGhosts]

I listened all the way through Reactionary and How To Ruin Everything a couple days ago. Love it.

anyone know when/where that Trevor Keith album was available to buy as a physical copy? I remember seeing someone from another thread listing it as a CD they owned.

The CD was limited to a 1000 hand-numbered & signed copies and only available on the tour at shows.

It’s available digitally from Treverkeith.com for $5 with digi-booklet.

There may be plans for a physical release later in the year, with full distribution, possible new artwork etc.

[SLoT]

some dudes always play them on the juke at the bar i go to on mondays... which album should i start with???

[ugman_2000]

I'd suggest getting the Shoot the Moon: Essential Collection it's their best of, but if you want to get their albums try the self titled or Reactionary

This band are so good, I need to see them live at some point I found the s/t album on Cd for £2 the other day bargin

[versus_god]

Don't Turn Away is my favorite.

Really? I never got that impression - I picked up a lot of genuine sincerity in what he wrote. It all seems very honest and true. Maybe it's cheesy to some, but hey - maybe Trever's a cheesy guy when it comes to opening up and I am, too haha

[ugman_2000]

It's mainly the 1st track I find cheesy on the chorus(even though I like the song)

The bit where the Trevers goes "cross your heart hope to die" then "stick a needle in my Eye"

[versus_god]

Looks like I'll have to give it a listen.

Yeah, that's the only track I don't like. Totally agree on that part.

[SLoT]

I dig this band quite a bit.

[AP_Punk]

Nice review, Chris!

[Chris Fallon]

Thanks Kirbie!

I just got word Trever's management sent it to him - I hope he likes it, I'm excited!

Good thing I stopped in this thread Chris...when I saw the link on the front page...I thought it said there was a review for Toby Keith's new album. *fuuuuuuuuck that* I said to myself.

Haha, anyway, I need to check this out. Love Face to Face.

I only have Don't Turn Away and I love it. Very basic but excellent nonetheless.

Y'know what's weird? I do not doubt the man's sincerity at all. But that solo album did nothing for me. It reaked of "butt-rock" to my ears. Again, I don't doubt the sincerity or the honesty. That record just did absolutely nothing for me, audibly.

I like my cheese on crackers, not on MP3. Haha. I don't actually mean that as vindictively as it sounds. It just seemed like a great sport for wordplay.

[Justin_stacy]

Just downloaded the Over It ep....haven't heard it in years.

I haven't listened to this band in a long time. I'm gonna change that now and spin How To Ruin Everything.

I support this. Except that when I saw them at Bamboozle, Trevor used homophobic language to describe the other bands. But at least they'll be doin' a club tour in the fall! I <3 this band. Maybe I'll throw them on after the Dopamines...

[CellarGhosts]

It's really good too. I think that one and How To Ruin Everything are my favorites. I dunno if you've ever heard their cover of The Pogues' "Sunny Side of the Street" from that Vagrant comp, but it's actually one of my favorite Face to Face songs, even though its' a cover ha.

we've got 'active-rock' and 'butt-rock' from you and I'm not sure what either of them are.

I haven't liked any of the Trever's non-face to face stuff. Viva Death or the mechanical Solo album.

which comp? I'll have to look it up.

....you ever heard The Devil You Know (God Is a Man) off of Ignornance is Bliss? The band has for some reason disowned the album but its still one of my favorites and that song in particular.

It's on Vagrant Records: Another Year On the Streets. If you can't find it I could upload the song for you. It's a good comp though. It has two older versions of Alk3's "Bloodied Up" and "Crawl", which are pretty cool.

Nah, I don't think I've heard it yet. I have heard about them disowning it though.

[prefix-core]

Love that compilation! It has one of my favorite Rocket from the Crypt and Get Up Kids songs on it. Both make me happy.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't like much! Your music blows and the style sucks!"

That whole series of comps is fantastic, I was probably just too stupid (or ignorant) to know that was a cover before...but I remeber the song. In fact I'm gonna have to go grab it now! Its sad how good Vagrant used to be, and how bad they are now.

Here's Ignorance is bliss (http://www.mediafire.com/?0m2ujcunbz2)....decide for yourself if its worth disowning. For me its their 4 best album.

Yeah, I love those comps. I didn't know it was a cover at first either, but I had just gotten into the Pogues at the time and hadn't reached Hell's Ditch yet, so it was a while before I realized it was a cover, ha.

cool, thanks. I'll give it a listen and see what it does.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Their cover of "Bikeage" is awesome.

[Justin_stacy]

I was thinking about this last night and this is the perfect order for me...

Face to Face > Reactionary = Don't Turn Away > Ignorance Is Bliss > Live > How To Ruin Everything > Big Choice .

[Justin_stacy]

cool, thanks. I'll give it a listen and see what it does.

I'll be interested to know, its not extremely different, but you can definitely tell they were trying something different.

[Justin_stacy]

cool, thanks. I'll give it a listen and see what it does.

what did you think?

[CellarGhosts]

It's alright. I don't think it's bad enough to warrant disownment but it didn't do much for me.

[AP_Punk]

new record (http://www.punknews.org/article/34053)

[Justin_stacy]

god I hope its better than the last. come on Reactionary part-deux

[RyanFTW]

For what it's worth, How To Ruin Everything was a great record as a Three Piece. I loved it, it's easily in my top 3 by them, and I've loved this band for the last 10 years.

[CellarGhosts]

How To Ruin Everything > Reactionary, by a little.

[RyanFTW]

That and Scott Shiflett and Pete Parada were monsters on HTRE

[Justin_stacy]

Did not care for How To Ruin Everything....seemed like their 'we've checked out album.'

[SwiftSilentDead]

I didn't know they covered Sugar's "Helpless."

Not bad. Don't like it as much as their "Bikeage" cover though.

I'm really excited for the Baltimore show next month. The only real problem is I know I won't get to see any "ignorance is bliss" tunes. It's definitely their best disc.

Face to Face live is my favorite Live album. Their version of "I'm Trying" on that album is so mind blowingly awesome.

[reissgoespunk]

Saw F2F a couple months back and they sounded better than I had ever heard them sound. But then again, I'd never seen them as a 4 piece.

Not my favoirte live album, but the live version of "I'm Trying" is my favorite F2F song of all-time. Good get!

Don't Turn Away and the Self Title are about on par for me, near perfect records. than Reactionary and what they consider their red-headed step child of an album Ignorance Is Bliss.

Their Live is also one of the best.

[prefix-core]

New album title announced! (http://www.punknews.org/article/39012) Trevor actually said it on-stage at Warped Tour yesterday, but I missed the full statement so...Yeah. Apparently it's gonnna be called Laugh Now, Laugh Later.

They've been playing a new song at Warped Tour too. It's pretty sweet! Fast, catchy, etc.

[Justin_stacy]

i'd take a new one...but i don't want what Trevor's been up to since to influence it in anyway.

New album in 2011. And a tour in the works with Strung Out if this listing (http://www.bottomlounge.com/shows/face-face-strung-out-darlings) is any indication.

Does it really cost $10,000 to press 500 copies of an LP? $25 is a lot to pledge for one LP with a download code. When other labels sell LPs for $10-20, and i assume they're making a slight profit on these (well, in any case they won't be under charging), $25 seems a little steep.

yup! and it's surprising a band like face to face would need to use kickstarter to put out the vinyl release of their new album. i figured there'd be a number of labels out there willing to help with it. hmm.

[prefix-core]

Missed the post about the Kickstarter initially and was just tipped off by a friend of mine and uh...Yeah. $25? Face to Face can go fuck themselves. Haha. You don't even get anything nifty with it! The least they could do was sign them. At least then it would seem like they're doing something extra to justify the cost.

It's kind of like how you can get a Social Distortion t-shirt at Hot Topic for $10 on clearance, but they charge $25 at a show.
