The name NEW FAITH was chosen for a challenge of new ideas and beliefs, spreading self awareness.
DON'T BE A VICTIM OF THOUGHT CONTROL!New Faith consistits of Joe V. on vocals and guitars, Gustav on Bass, and Tony Costanza on Drums.The band is keeping true to the sound of their original New York Hardcore punk roots in their latest 3 song demo recorded in December 2006. Plans for a full lenght are in the works for a 2008SOME PAST HISTORY:
THERES ALOT TO BE SAID, FORMED IN 1988 PLAYING SHOWS TROUGH OUT
NY, NJ, CT. WE RECORDED OUR 1ST DEMO AT SOME STUDIO IN OSSNING NY LITERALY ACROSS FROM SING SING PRISON!
THE DEMO WAS TERRIBLE, BUT IT SECURED US SHOWS WITH BREAKDOWN, SUB ZERO, NJ'S LETHAL AGGRESSION AND WHIPLASH THAT YEAR, AS WELL AS NUMOROUS OTHER GIGS.IN 1990 JIM FOURNIADIS WHO ENGINNERED REAGAN YOUTH'S SECOND
ALBUM AGREED TO DO OUR SECOND DEMO "CONDITIONING" AT
TOXIC-SHOCK STUDIOS NYC,
LATER THAT YEAR WE OPENED SHOWS FOR SLAYER, OVERKILL, SAVATAGE AND TROUBLE. LARGER CLUBS WITH BIG METAL ACTS WERE BOOKING US, WE PLAY ANYWHERE SO IT WAS ALL GOOD.
THE MOST MEMORABLE SHOWS AT THAT TIME WERE WITH ADRENALIN O.D., THE RADICTS, AND THE LUNACHICKS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN SMALL CLUBS WHERE WE FELT AT HOME.
A SHORT WHILE AFTER OUR SINGER LEFT THE BAND (STEVE WIETING). WE DID OUR FIRST 2 GIGS AS 3 PIECE, THIS SEEMED TO WORK WELL SO WE STAYED A 3 PIECE.IN DEC OF 1990 JOE V. WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKINS DIEASE (CANCER OF THE LYNPHNOTES) WE CONTINUED PLAYING GIGS IN BETWEEN HIS CHEMOTHREAPY AND RADIATION TREATMENTS.
IN 1992 HIS LUNGS COLLAPSED DO TO COMPLICATIONS FROM THE TREATMENTS, WE DIDNT DO MUCH BETWEEN 92-93 AS CURRENT MEMBERS WERE INVOLED WITH OTHER BANDS. BY 1994 IT WAS APPARENT WE NEED NEW MATERIAL SO WE GOT BUSY WRITTING STUFF AND DID A FEW SHOWS IN NYC.
IN SUMMER OF 1995 WE STARTED TO RECORD THE
"FOLLOW THE WAY" DEMO AT BULLETPROOF STUDIOS WHICH WAS JOE V'S HOME STUDIO. RAT BONES STEPPED IN ON VOCALS. HE "VACATIONED" IN RIKERS ISLAND AFTER SINGING FOR A FEW SHOWS THAT SUMMER SO HE NEVER SANG ON THE RECORDING.
IN 96 WE DID A LANDMARK SHOW AT CONEY ISLAND HIGH PREFORMING WITH THE WHO'S WHO OF N.Y.H.C. KILLING TIME, SCARHEAD, H2O, MURPHY'S LAW, REJUVENATE, AND WARZONE. BY SUMMER 1997 WE WERE BACK TO BEING A 3 PIECE BAND AGAIN.
WE WENT INTO THE STUDIO TO RECORD THE FIRST NEW FAITH RECORD BEFORE WE FINISHED THE RECORDING COMPLETELY THE MASTER TAPES WERE STOLEN SO THERE'S NO OVER DUBS AND IT WAS NEVER MIXED. JOEY FROM DOWN LOW HAD THE ONLY
EXSISTING TAPE OF THIS MUSIC ON A CASSETTE.
IN 2002 JOE V. BROUGHT THAT CASSETTE TO WONDER DRUG RECORDS IN BOSTON TO HAVE IT MASTERED, THE SONGS ARE RAW, UNMIXED AND MASTERED FROM A CASSETTE WHICH GIVES IT SUCH A RAW UNPRODUCED SOUND (CUZ IT IS) THOSE VERSIONS WERE NEVER RELEASED. THERE WAS 13 SONGS ALTOGETHER WHICH WERE WRITTIN BETWEEN 1988 AND 1996 THAT WE USED FOR THIS RECORDING.
For many years Joe V. concentrated on other bands he was involved with including Rejuvenate, Cause for Alarm, Darkside NYC, and Downlow N.Y.H.C. up until mid 2006 when he left New York and moved to Los Angeles.2006: Los Angeles is now the home of New Faith. With a new line-up of musicians and a new recording being featured on Compilation albums around the USA, the band is preparing to spread their style of hardcore music that is New FaithENJOY!!
