The Faint do it their way.

Before Electroclash and the wave of 00's Dance-rock there was The Faint, emerging in the late 1990s in Omaha, Nebraska—a place
known more for stoic practicality than synth-punk. In that unlikely setting of beige restraint, they pioneered a sound that combined
the melodic essence of new wave, the raw edge of post-punk, and the robotic futurism of Detroit electro. Breaking free from indie
rock’s humble comfort, they arrived armed with synths, dark eyeliner, and a raw, frenetic energy that dared audiences to actually
feel something real, something primal. The late ’90s and early 2000s indie scene was primed for a shock, and The Faint
delivered—not just as a band, but as an invitation to cast off coolness, to sweat, to move, and to live fully in the moment.

When Wet From Birth arrived in 2004, it built on their synth-punk foundation. Orchestral
layers and more intricate arrangements added depth without taming its confrontational and sometimes paranoid spirit. The band
toured relentlessly, including an unexpected arena tour with No Doubt that ended with a stage prank that sent Todd to a New
Mexico jail cell. (Don’t worry, Gwen bailed him out.)

Twenty years removed from its release, The Faint are returning to announce a reissue of Wet From Birth. The reissue includes the
original release - meticulously remastered for vinyl from the original tapes by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound - two never-be-
fore-heard ‘unrealized’ tracks from the album’s sessions, unreleased demos, and previously released remixes.
With new music and a 2025 tour on the horizon, The Faint’s spirit remains fierce, their music offering a much needed respite from
the soulless information age. And while the world has changed, The Faint’s invitation remains the same: sweat, move, and live fully
in the moment.
