The Fave in the Press...
"Since the 1980s Hoboken has been well known as the home for alternative bands like The Feelies, The Bongos, The Cucumbers, and Yo La Tengo. What the Mile Square City isn’t known for is straight-up rock and roll bands. The Fave is about to change all that." - CD Review by Ken Shane, The Aquarian Weekly (May 28, 2008) for the whole record review (received A-) go to http://theaquarian.com/reviews-cds.php?id=473
"To say that the new songs on the album are good isn't enough. To say that they are mood-altering, spirit-lifting and infectious is better. But to truly appreciate The Fave is to see them perform their songs live and witness the passion each talented member has for the music and to hear the effortless result. If there was a Music Olympics, the Fave would get a 10 for live shows."
- Diana Schwaeble, Managing Editor, The Hudson Current (May 21, 2008)
"The Fave unveiled their revamped crew to The Saint crowd, fervently working their original brand of pop with showmanship sense with the clan like feel of Jefferson Airplane and picking up new fans by sets end."
- John Pfeifer, East Coast Rocker (May 14, 2008)
"Hoboken's local rock band, The Fave, got things going on the main stage. The band played music from their soon-to-be released album "Tomorrow's June." The crowd was energized by the band's effortless harmonies and get your groove on rock music."
- Review of The Fave at The Hoboken Arts & Music Festival, Diana Schwaeble, The Hoboken Reporter (May 07, 2008)
Ok all you Favies, here is the short of it - so dig it!
Eight years ago Dom picked up his six strings and started playing some tunes. Not being the voice he heard in his head, he called up his sister Jaime to handle the lyrical sounds, and so the thing started.
After a couple of coffee house rants, the rock had to be brought. Seasoned rock thang Ed Jude Smith and drummer friend Drew Berman joined the mix, and a band was formed. Going under the moniker of “eugene”, the gang brought sounds up and down and in and out of the greater rock cities of the east coast. They gained a dedicated local following wherever they strummed. After recording a couple short CDs, scoring video game soundtracks, and much street cred --things altered and so did the drummer. Joined by vet drummer Fran Azzarto, it was time to change it all.
Now here we are. With songs that speak about lost thoughts and new happenings, waking up and falling down, Hoboken, NJ U.S.A. introduces to you –
The Fave!
So get off your geek box and go see the sound-
The Fave!
The Fave has an amazing and energetic live show that showcases well-written and thoughtfully crafted songs. With echoes of Chrissy Hynde singing for The Who, and with tones of U2 reverberating within the walls, The Fave offers a fresh sound that pays homage to the great rockers of the past while maintaining a unique and formidable original flavor. Acoustically, The Fave provides a deeper look into their songs, stripping them down and allowing fans to hear the songs through real and raw passion and beautifully intertwined harmonies. Clearly standing out from other bands on concert bills and open mic nights, crowds leave venues wondering why The Fave is not already on the radio or TV. The answer is simple; someone needs to take a chance on a band that doesn’t fit into todays homogenous list of radio dwellers.
Thanks for the support.. Stay in touch. Check out our recording studio located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. OCTOBER SPECIAL: $25/hr from 9am-5pm. All other times: $30/hr.
