AboutThe Faint is an indie rock/synth pop band. Formed in Omaha, Nebraska,
The Faint was originally known as Norman Bailer, a play on the name
Norman Mailer. The band Norman Bailer also included Conor Oberst, of
Bright Eyes fame, whom The Faint toured with in 2005 . He left or was
kicked out shortly after joining, and therefore played no part in The Faint's
current sound, though they are now signed to Saddle Creek Records, a
label formed by Conor and Justin Oberst.
The band consists of Clark and Todd Baechle and Joel Peterson. They
signed to Saddle Creek Records and released a few singles, but were
unable to establish widespread sales, though they were extremely popular
in the Omaha-area. After adding Matt Bowen, The Faint released Media,
which established them within a small, national community of fans. While
touring, Bowen left and was replaced by Jacob Thiele who helped move
the next album, Blank-Wave Arcade, towards a more dance and techno
influenced sound. The album was an underground hit. Partway through the
creation of the morose Danse Macabre, The Faint added Dapose, a death
metal guitarist formerly of LEAD. Danse Macabre was also a critical and
commercial success and has helped to establish a wider fanbase for the
band. Their latest album is called Wet from Birth.
