The name NEW FAITH was chosen for a challenge of new ideas and beliefs, spreading self awareness. DON'T BE A VICTIM OF THOUGHT CONTROL!
New Faith consistits of Joe V. on vocals and guitars, Gustav on Bass, and Tony Costanza on Drums.
The band is keeping true to the sound of their original New York Hardcore punk roots in their latest 3 song demo recorded in December 2006.
SOME PAST HISTORY:
FORMED IN 1988 . WE RECORDED OUR 1ST DEMO AT SOME STUDIO IN OSSNING NY LITERALY ACROSS FROM SING SING PRISON!
THE DEMO WAS TERRIBLE, BUT GOT US PLAYING LOTSA SHOWS.
IN DEC OF 1989 JOE V. WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKINS DIEASE (CANCER OF THE LYNPHNOTES) WE CONTINUED PLAYING GIGS IN BETWEEN HIS CHEMOTHREAPY AND RADIATION TREATMENTS.
IN 1990 JIM FOURNIADIS
AGREED TO DO OUR SECOND DEMO "CONDITIONING" AT
TOXIC-SHOCK STUDIOS NYC.
IN 1992 JOE V.'S LUNGS COLLAPSED DO TO COMPLICATIONS FROM THE TREATMENTS, WE DIDNT DO MUCH BETWEEN 92-93 AS CURRENT MEMBERS WERE INVOLED WITH OTHER BANDS.
BY 1994 IT WAS APPARENT WE NEED NEW MATERIAL SO WE GOT BUSY WRITTING STUFF AND DID A FEW SHOWS IN NYC. IN SUMMER OF 1995 WE STARTED TO RECORD THE
"FOLLOW THE WAY" DEMO AT BULLETPROOF STUDIOS WHICH WAS JOE V'S HOME STUDIO. RAT BONES STEPPED IN ON VOCALS. HE "VACATIONED" IN RIKERS ISLAND AFTER SINGING FOR A FEW SHOWS THAT SUMMER SO HE NEVER SANG ON THE RECORDING.
BY SUMMER 1997 WE WERE BACK TO BEING A 3 PIECE BAND AGAIN.
WE WENT INTO THE STUDIO TO RECORD THE FIRST NEW FAITH RECORD . NEEDLESS TO SAY IT NEVER WAS RELEASED AND THE BAND BROKE UP IN 98
IN 2002 WE MASTERED A TAPE SALVAGED FROM THOSE RECORDINGS IN 97 AT WONDER DRUG RECORDS IN BOSTON. THE SONGS ARE RAW, UNMIXED AND MASTERED FROM A CASSETTE WHICH GIVES IT SUCH A RAW UNPRODUCED SOUND (CUZ IT IS) THOSE VERSIONS WERE NEVER RELEASED. THERE WAS 13 SONGS ALTOGETHER WHICH WERE WRITTIN BETWEEN 1988 AND 1996 THAT WE USED FOR THIS RECORDING.
For many years Joe V. concentrated on other bands he was involved with (Rejuvenate, Cause for Alarm, Darkside NYC, Downlow N.Y.H.C., One In The Same and Maggot) up until mid 2006 when he left New York and moved to Los Angeles.
2006: Los Angeles is now the home of New Faith.
