Modern Faces are a 5 piece band from Dunfermline, Scotland who take their influences from the 60′s and their attitude & swagger from the 90′s. They’re Inspired by the likes of The Stone Roses, Oasis & The Verve.
They released their EP ‘No Mans Land’ in April of 2010 which attracted the ears of many within the industry, their aim is to throw some attitude back into British music and produce a few top-drawer, anthemic, stomping albums along the way.
“Our immediate aim is to keep making great music and to play some summer festivals that would be awesome especially if we can get TITP, but looking along the horizon I think we all wanna make that great debut album, one that sits in everyone’s top 50 greatest albums list forever..that’s the bigger ambition”.
Since forming they have gathered a massive hometown following and proved this by playing to a 900 strong sell-out crowd at Dunfermline’s Velocity in April of 2010, as well as consistently selling out pj mollys very intimate 350 capacity venue. The band have supported the likes of Shed Seven, Starsailor and playing the Primal Scream after show party in Brixton in March 2011.
A couple of weeks back while waiting in line at a Beady Eye gig band members Gary and Monty took an unexpected call.
“It was Tom Meighan on the phone asking if we would like to support Kasabian on their pre Festival 2011 warm up tour in Sheffield at the 02 Academy on 4th June and in Manchester at the 02 Apollo on 8th June, we were gob-smacked and thought it was a complete wind up but it’s all real and we’re loving it right now so onwards and upwards”
Tom Meighan commented. “Modern Faces remind me of us when we were young, ready and willing to do anything for the thrill of being in a rock n roll band, they're highlanders.”
