Perth rock exports The Faim have just announced their first headline Australian shows in three years. The dates come off the back of the announcement of their sophomore record ‘Talk Talk’ – due Friday, July 8. The record includes latest single ‘The Alchemist’, celebratory track ‘ERA’, the adrenaline-charged ‘The Hills’ (over 1 million YouTube views and counting), and the driving pop-rock anthem ‘Ease My Mind’.

The bands Stephen Beerkens mentions, “we are so excited to finally be on the road in Australia after three very long years! It’s always incredible to get to play some of our favourite venues in our home country and see so many familiar faces that have supported us since the start. We can’t wait to play songs from our new album “Talk Talk” live – and, of course, the ‘State of Mind’ tracks we’ve never played before in Australia! Hope to see you there!!”

The tour comes off the back of their 26 date UK+EU Tour which sees the band play at iconic festivals including Download Festival (England) and Rock am Ring/Park (Germany).

Recorded between Los Angeles and Perth, The Faim worked with several producers on ‘Talk Talk’ including Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly), Erik Ron (Panic! At the Disco, Godsmack, Set It Off), and Matthew Pauling (Palaye Royale, 5 Seconds of Summer, State Champs) to showcase the band’s vast range of styles and tones.

Since forming in Perth, Australia, in 2014, The Faim (French for “the hunger”) have built up a strong global following. They have performed at major festivals, including Reading & Leeds Festival, Slam Dunk Festival, and Lollapalooza Berlin, and have sold-out headline shows worldwide. In addition, they have accumulated over 140 million streams globally, having written and worked with the likes of Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Mark Hoppus (blink-182), Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots), and Ashton Irwin (5 Second of Summer).
