Fools Faith is
rock / progressive / metal band from
Connecticut,
United States of America.
Formed in the spring of '95, Fools Faith is a rare find in a musical world
of mediocrity. Combining the best of '80's Metal with elements
of today's sound, Fools Faith finds equal ground unparallel by today's standards.
Signed to Escape Music (under the moniker of "Aftermath") in the
winter of 2002, their debut release, "Natural Destruction", in 2003
was a critical success unmatched in their genre. With blistering guitars and
tight vocal harmonies leading the way, Fools Faith has made a name for themselves
by providing what so few are able to achieve, old-fashioned hard rock the way
it was meant to be played.
Following the release of "Natural Destruction",
the band set out to prove that not only were they a force to be reckoned
with, but also were indeed the real deal where musicianship and quality songwriting
were concerned. Featuring vocalist / rhythm guitarist Joe Dia, keyboardist
/ bassist Andy Kadin, lead guitarist Bill DiNapoli, and last but certainly
not least,
drummer Marc Chandler, Fools Faith crushed audiences throughout the NY /
NJ
/ CT area with explosive playing that left those in attendance hanging on
for dear
life.
In the Spring of 2005 Fools Faith saw not only the departure
of lead guitarist Bill Dinapoli but also an untimely split with Escape Music.
Undeterred
by their losses, the band pushed forward more determined than ever to find
comparable replacements even though the choices were slim in the ever-decreasing
Connecticut musician scene as well as with the music industry in general.
As
luck would have it, session player and friend of the band John Gallicano made
his services available for however long necessary and in the Fall of 2005 was
asked to become a permanent member of the band. Fools Faith have now begun
fielding offers from not only other U.K. labels, but some U.S. based labels
as well and continue planning what will become the defining year in their history.
While still sticking to their roots, they have taken things
a step further with an album of diverse material which leaves one unable to
categorize them
into a specific genre. With strong melodies, pounding rhythms and vocals unmatched
in today's musical climate already setting them apart from their contemporaries,
Their sophmore release "Undone" will only confirm what many across
Europe already know, Fools Faith is setting the standards for what many have
forgotten; how to successfully rock "old-school" style while blending.
Fools Fatih features: Joey Dia - lead vocals, rhythm guitar;
Andy Kadin - keyboards, backing vocals;
