The Faim Announce “Summer Is A Curse EP” Due Out Sept 7th

Leave a comment

Australia is really kicking it up a notch with their music exports lately and The Faim are ready to take the world by storm.  After working with massive names like Josh Dun of Twenty One Pilots, Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, snagging co-writes with Ashton Irwin of 5SOS (“Summer Is A Curse”) and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (“Saints Of The Sinners”), The Faim tapped legendary producer John Feldmann for their debut “Summer Is A Curse EP” due out September 7th.

The Faim aren’t letting anything stand in their way and have already racked up an impressive 3.5 million global streams on Spotify on their last single, “Summer Is A Curse.”  The band just unveiled their newest  pop friendly single called “A Million Stars” and displays frontman Josh Raven’s powerhouse vocals.

When asked about the new EP, the band said “To say we’re excited about releasing this EP is an understatement. More than just songs, to us these six tracks are a window into our world. We’ve been overwhelmed by the support of the community around us and welcome you all on this beautiful journey. We’re proud to be able to share our music with you and hope you enjoy listening as much as we’ve enjoyed writing it.”

Listen to “A Million Stars” below on Spotify!

The “Summer Is As Curse EP” will serve as a prelude to The Faim’s hotly anticipated debut album expected in 2019 and will include five brand new tracks that show off their stadium ready sound, impressive songwriting chops, as well as their pop-punk energy and infectious hooks.

The Faim Release New Single “Summer Is A Curse”

Leave a comment

Just in time for Summer, Australia’s latest export, The Faim, dropped a brand new track called “Summer Is A Curse.”  Co-written by Ashton Irwin from 5SOS, the new track is a sweeping emotional hit. When asked about the new song, “‘Summer Is a Curse’ is about taking the leap into a make or break situation that could grow into the beginning of a new era, or cause the end of what could’ve been. It’s about the paths that we take, the dreams that we have, and the things we leave behind to reach them.”

This is just the beginning for The Faim.  They’ve teamed up with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy, TwentyOne Pilots’ Josh Dun, as well as legendary producer John Feldmann for their highly anticipated album!

5SOS Sell Out Madison Square Garden on “Sounds Live, Feels Live” World Tour

Leave a comment

We can officially say “5SOS sold out MSG!!!”  That’s a feat of epic proportions, especially for a band that hasn’t been around that long.  It’s hard to believe that just two short years ago the guys were headlining the nearby Best Buy Theater, which holds about 2,000 people.  Luke, Ashton, Calum, and Michael played every song we could have asked for on this tour and you could hear the entire arena singing every word!

P1530644

The band played their new single, “Girls Talk Boys,” for the first time live at MSG.  The track had just dropped the day of the show, but fans already knew all of the words and kept singing like they had been all night.  The performance of the funky song saw lead singer Luke Hemmings jump on the piano for a bit – cue the swoons.

Drummer Ashton took the time to remind the crowd to always follow their dreams, saying he went from playing in his garage to playing in the legendary Madison Square Garden.  He also said the crowd was the loudest he’d ever heard, despite having played many other shows.

Before going into the first verse of “Jet Black Heart” solo, Michael soaked up the applause from the crowd.  Just when you thought he was going to keep going, the crowd just got louder and louder.  It was one of the most energetic crowds we’ve ever seen at MSG (or anywhere for that matter!)  We’re so proud of how far 5SOS have come so far and can’t wait for what’s next!

Setlist:
Carry On
Hey Everybody
Money
Voodoo Doll
Don’t Stop
Disconnected
Long Way Home
Outer Space
Waste The Night
Vapor
Amnesia
Castaway
Jet Black Heart
End Up Here
Good Girls

Our favorite Australian pop punk boys just released a brand new track from the Ghostbusters movie called “Girls Talk Boys” and it’s funky!!
