Fans Of Faye Review - By Emerging Icons 
The fact this track has already zoomed up the iTunes rock chart is one thing, but today, Fans of Faye have finally got the accolade they’ve always wanted. ‘Paint The Sun’ gets the ‘double thumbs up/full head nod/ excited-in-our-pants’ seal of approval from Emerging Icons. Yep, this catchy little number has sent our Likelihood-For-Future-Success-ometer off the scale. The sophisticated balance of pop appeal with accessible alt tendencies will secure Fans OF Faye’s place in the thriving rock gig circuit in years to come- especially if the echoes of bands like You Me At Six and Taking Back Sunday strike a chord with their vast fanbases. We’ll be front row though, that’s for sure"


Fans Of Faye Review By Katie Vowles - Punk Prospect
‘Paint The Sun’ kicks off Designed To Be with style – brash, powerful vocals and super slick guitar melodies aplenty. Next we slip into the more relaxed title track where the dreamy acoustics coupled with the building drum echoes create a still, sombre atmosphere. Delicate piano tinkles soon turn into a rough guitar riff while the vocals take a more ominous turn as the lyrics echo this “We were designed to be dangerous killing machines.” This triumphant track showcases Fans of Faye’s extraordinary talent and their audible chemistry. ‘I’m Not Your Artwork’ contains a strong hook, clean vocals and a prominent clean guitar riff. This track in particular is reminiscent of the work of Twin Atlantic, a band that Fans of Faye mimic in enthusiasm and vigour.

Hunting Season Begins

In 2003, Stourbridge native Zachary Hart formed a band aged just twelve; 2013 will therefore see the tenth anniversary of his band’s formation and although the intervening years have seen many personnel changes, today’s fixed line-up shares the same ambitions and passion as the three friends who began it all, nearly a decade ag

Like many young outfits, the band has been through many name changes, covering the not-so-sublime to the entirely ridiculous. But in the winter of 2004, a dear friend and inspiration to the band, Faye, tragically lost her life in a car crash. She was the catalyst for their youthful passion for writing and performing their own music, so her premature death sealed the band’s moniker as a lasting testimony
Shunning the usual hasty rush to play on the national scene, Fans of Faye instead chose to focus on the Midlands gig circuit. After all, this heartland of music has in the past given us Diamond Head, The Wonder Stuff, Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and, of course, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, who is still a regular sight strolling around town (indeed, Plant previously went to the same college as Zach and Ian). This rich musical heritage is a motivation and inspiration for Fans of Faye and yet they are also very keen to mark out their own creative pat

This local live focus has been rewarded with a strong and loyal fan-base, who in return have seen them support the likes of Versa Emerge, Francesqa, Not Advised/Natives and The Casting Out (ex-Boy Sets Fire

Their impressive live pedigree has now been channelled into a debut album, Designed To Be, produced by Gavin Monaghan/Magic Garden Recording Studios, due for release in autumn 2012. Their first full-length record will firmly cement the band’s growing reputation as an exciting and hugely promising new act, energetically supported by an extensive tour of the UK. This twin attack will undoubtedly see FoF upgrade their regional fan-base to a national leve

The first single to be taken from the debut will be released on September 3rd, 2012 entitled ‘Paint The Sun’. The accompanying video was produced by the excellent Wide Awake Films.
