Faster! Faster! *NEW SONGS!*

About Me


***UPDATE***
Five years ago best friends Kevin McCord and Ben Shumaker started a band. Originally it was just for fun and thus it was deemed "The Project". Years later Ben Shumaker would meet ex bassist, Hudson Eakin at a rock camp held at the Portland Conservatory of Music in Maine. Finally the band had discovered it's collective sound and "Faster! Faster!" was truly born. After personal issues in the band with Hudson, our now current bassist Ben Wilson was asked to join the band. With Kevin and both Ben's providing a solid framework for the band's music and a grounding for ridiculous ideas "Faster! Faster!" has evolved from a no-good garageband, into a professional three-piece musical masterpiece. From dragging at 12th place in the 2006 Reindeer Rock-off (A Talent Search for The Best Young Rock Band in Maine) to scoring 1st Place Overall just one year later at the 2007 Reindeer Rock-off, "Faster! Faster!" is determined to make it big, or die trying. A larger than life stage presence featuring an out-of-control bassist and pianist throwing his bass and body around with gilded precision, a suave guitarist that rocks the mic like his name was King Kong, and arguably one of Maine's most technical drummers keeping the whole thing from bursting off stage; creates an in-the-pocket rhythm section with bombastic vocals and leads provided by all the members of "Faster! Faster!" Check the blog for news updates, and check back for New Music!
