About Me

"I stood and watched the BEST BAND in the world tonight; the mighty YOUNG PEOPLE WITH FACES burned a hole in that pulseless, dying CBGB's stage and brought some life into that dump for the first time in years." JEFF MAGNUM of THE DEAD BOYS, August 5th, 2006."YPWF is the BEST DAMN PUNK ROCK BAND in the world!" JOHNNY STINGRAY of THE CONTROLLERS & KAOS"I sing along with them in my car." ALICE BAG of THE BAGS (of course!)"If BLONDIE had turned down their major label deal, listened obsessively to THE STOOGES, moved to L.A., and put out a single on DANGERHOUSE records, they definitely would have sounded like YOUNG PEOPLE WITH FACES"--Lord Rutledge, NOW WAVE MAGAZINE, January 2006."This band is a trip. Being from Idaho and looking like extras on 'Dawson's Creek', they sure dish out some cool sloppy punk. DANGERHOUSE ALL THE WAY"--Ray Lujan, MAXIMUMROCKNROLL 272.Young People With Faces is a young band on a mission: reclaim the sound and spirit of the original punk rock movement as though hardcore (and its descendents) never existed. Comprised of three teenage girls on guitar, drums and lead vocals, and a teenage guy on bass and (mostly) backing vocals, their debut CD features a dozen originals (13 on the vinyl LP) and one cover (available from undergroundmedicine.com, midheaven.com, and interpunk.com). ..
