   About FAIRMONT





















"Fairmont is indie rock we should all be thankful for"
-8 Bands You Should Be Blastin'! | Amp Magazine 34 Aug 08


"love will overcome the existential angst of being. Whether or not that’s what you think, you will enjoy this pop/rock album; it’s expertly crafted and precisely written. Easily the best Fairmont has produced."
-Stephen Carradini | Independent Clauses.com

"rock with capable musicianship and honed songwriting chops at the helm. It’s a combination that has led plenty of bands to success, and judging what they give us here, Fairmont deserves to follow that lead.....Overall, I’ve got to tell you, I like Fairmont quite a bit."
-Taylor Kingsbury | MishMash Magazine

"Musically the band has always been tight, but with Transcendence, Fairmont takes great strides forward in terms of songwriting. Songs of disillusion and despair have long defined the band, and their latest record is not likely to change those impressions, but the organ-heavy track "Everyone Hates A Critic" and the sing-along "Being & Nothingness" are certain to win over a few more fans. Negativity never sounded so good."
- John B. Moore | Innocent Words Magazine


""Transcendence" transcends into another classification of indie rock. You see many bands that have the makings of what Fairmont possesses, but they are unable to piece it all together in a way that makes you think, "wow this is something special." Which this album does."
- Derek | SkylinePress.net


"Fairmont’s new album Transcendence has imaginative turns, emotive lifts, and a folksy rock basting relatable to Modest Mouse."
-Susan Frances | AbsolutePunk.net


"the band has crafted songs with a real beat to them, tunes that you’ll be singing along to, even before you know the words."
-Matt Merritt | Subba-Cultcha.com


"The band's sound reminds me of a mix between the Smoking Popes, the Prom (especially due to the frequent use of bouncy keyboards) and a little bit of Fountains Of Wayne (particularly in "Prick"), mixing a crunchy guitar sound with occasional fuzzy synths... digging deeper into the album proved rewarding, with favorites including "Luck Will Change", "True Love Waits For Me" and the final track, "Melt Your Heart", which is an uplifting tune whose outro contains echoes of the coda from the disc's opener."
-Chris McFarlane | Indie Pages.com


"Fairmont has encountered more than its fair share of setbacks and catastrophes, from multiple lineup changes to all the usual calamities that befall DIY bands. But with its fifth full-length release, perhaps the band has found the traction it needs to move forward in the indie underground."
-Jim Testa | JerseyBeat.com


"STOP reading now, buy three copies of this album and enjoy the shit out of them"
- Jack Gregory | ReaxMusic.com


"Like Muhammad Ali your greatness will be recognized! I to think this is one of your best albums. In each album I see you grow and change as an artist- usually I'll pick out one or two songs - but this album showcases your talent and is a well thought out album. I just love it! Here's a cheer for greatness!"
-Rosalie Sabatino | Neil's Mom


"rocking, paranoid, i love it, the video gives me the creeps for a minute there, but great ending. anyway, right on in my book"
- Matthew Caws (Nada Surf)


"They're pretty rad"
- Mark Hoppus (+44)


"Fairmont's new record, Wait and Hope, is beautiful. It has a unique way of being both dark and hopeful at the same time."
- Tyler Pursel (Gym Class Heroes & Ladybirds)


"I believe that Fairmont is hot shit because I believe in good ‘ol organic fun."
- Julia Conny (AbsolutePunk.net)


"Fairmont, seems once again poised to break to a wider audience."
- Nathan Dylan (WonkaVisionMagazine.com)


"This is a band that seems to want global domination with these hits and near-hits. Plus they have enough mojo to make you want to check out their live show too. Fairmont is a damn good rock and roll band, that will throw you a few curves and surprise the hell out of you at times. They have my vote for one of the Top Ten Albums of the year!"
- Phil Rainone (Pop Vulture)


" Well it seems to me after experiencing Fairmont in all their glory, they turn out to be a pretty well rounded band. They are remarkably balanced and sow together different genres to make their own, making it a special spectacle to hear. "Wait & Hope" is not only catchy but also an interesting read, as the lyrics are so sarcastic and funny that you just have to sit down and read them. What a great example of what an indie/rock band should be, with the youthful energy combining with the wisdom of experience to form one great record."
- Derek (SkylinePress.net)


"Fairmont is the cream of the crop when it comes to guitar-based indie-rock, and they prove it with Wait and Hope, which is guitar rock done so impeccably that you can’t help but love it. If you like literate, intelligent indie-rock with a great attention to detail and a liberal dose of attitude, Fairmont will be in your corner"
- Stephen Carridini (IndependentClauses.com)


"Fairmont is a philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts"
- Jean Paul Sartre (Father of Modern Existentialism)

Hope all is well there!
I found this inspiring and thought I should pass it along;

"Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever." ~Lance Armstrong

I also like the one that said, "Quitting is not an option."(not sure who said it)

Hope you are plowing ahead!
