The Fauxs - Bespoken

    

  How does this sound for a compact introduction to the band I'm featuring today...

"The Fauxs (https://www.facebook.com/theFauxs4real/) are Portland’s femme punk powerhouse, alchemizing bubbly guitar hooks, glam-influenced harmonies and a driving, melodic rhythm section into something between a protest and a party. They deliver a compact burst of feminist discontent with songs that bop heads and encourage singalongs."

  It's a better introduction than anything I'd have written (their Facebook has the equally impressive "Bushy, butchy, squishy Punk Rock with a side of Shoo-Wop") so I'm using their Bandcamp bio to allow them to introduce themselves. "Them" being The Fauxs; Melanie Hindman (vox/guitar), Aliah O’Neill (guitar), Tara Umesh (bass) & Kara Lancaster (drums).

  They released a demo ep in April of this year on which all the 4 tracks (including a cover of Lio's Le Banana Split) were in French. Now they're preparing to release a debut album which will be titled Burn The City. It'll be out on September 17th (vinyl & digital) with the lead single being available now so go this way to get more details... https://thefauxs.bandcamp.com/album/burn-the-city-lp

  As you probably already know, if there's a new release I want to highlight on here that isn't already on Youtube, I'll post it myself. This track has already been commented upon... "It got me since the first second." It's a song that quickly draws you in. It's charming, a real earworm. I'm predicting the album's going to be well worth the wait. This is Bespoken...
