BMG have signed Perth band The Faim to a global deal, who just dropped a new single ‘Saints Of The Sinners’, a co-write with Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz.
After starting to write songs when still at high school in 2014, the Perth band came on the radar when their demos reached the ears of LA producer John Feldmann (Blink 182, The Used, All Time Low).
“I see something in them that I don’t see in a lot of bands… Amazing songwriters, incredible performers, great front man,” he said.
He invited them to LA to record a track … which in turn expanded into a full-blown debut album.
BMG Australia CEO Heath Johns confirms, “The Faim is an international recording priority for BMG and we couldn’t be more hyped about the release of ‘Saints of the Sinners’.
“Signed out of our US office and with a comprehensive European, North American and Australian touring plot ahead of them, we are all confident that in The Faim - Australian music has a rock/pop export we can all be excited about”
Reporting from inside the Australian music business since '94.
For ten weeks from March to May, The Faim will play through the United States, England (including Download festival, Wales, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand.)
The Australian leg of the tour will see The Faim support US rockers Sleeping With Sirens.
