Perth rock exports The Faim have just revealed their latest single, ‘Me Because of You’ from their forthcoming sophomore record ‘Talk Talk’ – due Friday, July 8. The record also includes previous single ‘The Alchemist’, celebratory track ‘ERA’, the adrenaline-charged ‘The Hills’ (over 2 million combined streams and views), and the driving pop-rock anthem ‘Ease My Mind’. You can Pre-Order ‘Talk Talk’ HERE.
‘Me Because of You’ comes just as The Faim have announced their first Australian shows in three years, performing across the country throughout July. The tour comes off the back of their 28 date UK+EU Tour which sees the band play at iconic festivals, including Download Festival (England) and Rock am Ring/Park (Germany).
‘Me Because of You’ is a synth-tinged, nostalgic journey that pulls at the heartstrings, led by lead singer Josh Raven’s wounded vocals. Bassist and keyboardist Stephen Beerkens explains about the track, “‘Me Because of You’ was written about embracing change and letting go of a past version of yourself. The lyrics recognise the huge impact someone else can have on the process. This song was a huge milestone for us, as it’s our first release that has been self-produced!”
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).
The band’s 2018 single ‘Summer Is A Curse’ was featured in an advertising campaign for Jeep, while the likes of Coca Cola and MTV have licensed the band’s music as well. To date, the band have released one EP (‘Summer Is a Curse’, 2018) and one debut full-length album (‘State Of Mind’, 2019), receiving praise and support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, BBC Radio 1 (UK), Idobi Radio (USA), Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Billboard (USA), Forbes (USA), Alternative Press (USA), Triple M, Pilerats, Music Feeds, and more.
‘Me Because of You’ is available worldwide now, via BMG

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
