About This Album
For a band that was built upside down and over a rather extended period of time, Faber Drive have quickly powered up and roared right into view. Singer/guitarist/songwriter Dave Faber began piecing together the group back in 2004, first bringing his drum student Ray "Red" Bull into the fold. Faber then linked with producers Joe Moi and Brian Howes, the latter of whom also became his co-writer. Recording was already being readied before lead guitarist David Hinsley was enlisted, with bassist Jeremy "Krikkit" Liddle arriving three days before the band's first gig. The group has been recording and performing live ever since, with its debut album, Seven Second Surgery, finally arriving in 2007. This long interregnum has saved the band from such freshman pitfalls as wearing one's influences on one's sleeve. Sure, there's the occasional wink at Def Leppard and bow to Jimmy Eat World, but you need a good ear to catch the nods to such avowed faves as U2 and the Police. Besides, Faber Drive pride themselves on their live shows, and the energy they deliver on-stage is captured and canned on "Sex and Love," the powerful and infectious song that won them the title of Vancouver's best band in 2006.
