Hailing from the West Midlands, Face of a Stranger (alternative rock) are looking to place their name alongside the huge list of successful rock bands to come out of the region in the last 40 years. With influences such as Alter Bridge, Staind, Limp Bizkit and Shinedown, FOAS aim to incorporate these influences yet still produce their trademark unique sound of heavy layered guitars, crashing drums and huge vocals.
Highlights for the band have been headlining the Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton, providing main support to the highly rated Slam Cartel and being included in the Second City Metals albums of 2013 list.
‘The band had done what every support act aims to do. Make themselves impossible to follow. As the headliners took the stage cheers could be heard all round, but those cheers weren’t deafening and the room had emptied noticeably. Everyone knew they had seen a performance that wouldn’t be bettered, and there can be no higher praise than that.’ – taken from the Musical Outcasts review of the support slot to Slam Cartel.
With fan favourites such as “The Road” and “Shutting Me Down” to new heavier songs such as “Broken Words” and “Human After All” FOAS have something for everyone and plan to make 2020 a big year getting back out on the road and an EP release. Be sure to catch the band whenever you can.
