The Party Faithful

About Me


"An on-the-rise local indie act for fans of melodic, vocal-driven pop." - New York Magazine
"...after replay number two or three, it becomes easier to pick up on the amount of epic-goodness the band has managed to cram into each track... Nothing feels out of place and there are moments when the band gets into an ecstatic rhythm unmatched by most of their contemporaries." - soundsuck.com
"It's a pity Creation Records the now defunct legendary U.K. indie label isn't around to organize a package tour around The Party Faithful with Felt and The House of Love, or maybe the late great Swervedriver. The band's best new song, "Revolution Fuse," an optimistic slow builder recalls Morrissey's glam-rock albums from the early '90s, with nifty and natural turns of phrase 'Though we are older, the night is young.' " - The Day, New London
CMJ Showcase Review - "This band really sounds tight live and has everything that you would think could take them to the forefront of the music scene in Brooklyn...Let's put it this way: If you like Morrissey, you'll like The Party Faithful. Moreover, if you just like seeing pinpoint execution of song writing in a tight and experienced band then you'll love The Party Faithful." - Witness Production Program
