The Faint hail from Omaha, Nebraska and have gone through countless changes in their relatively short career. Today is well-muscled, heavily mascara’d dance music, but the band’s early years in the mid-90s were a mix of lo-fi pop and easy listening. Or so I’ve read.
Along with a prepubescent Bright Eyes and a recently-formed Cursive, the band was one of the seeds that spawned the explosive Omaha scene as well as a flagship act for the highly regarded Saddle Creek Records.
