Cheaper Faster

About Me

In a New York City music scene overrun by the impossibly retro and the relentlessly futuristic, Cheaper Faster stands, without apology, with its heart and head firmly in the present. Formed in the summer of 2003 by four guys looking to cut the nonsense and play great songs (preferably at great volume), they now bring you a nine-song debut packed with their set's best hooks.Fronted by guitarist and vocal powerhouse Alex DeMammos, Cheaper Faster is built on the foundation of a locked-in rhythm section, drummer Pat Finnegan and bassist John Loustau, and pivots on the onstage anchor of guitarist Nick Cialdella. Together, they make for an irresistible proposition: That a dirty guitar riff and a soaring pop hook aren't mutually exclusive.See their latest self-titled release for your evidence. Among its nine songs, you'll hear as many menacing Les Paul guitar lines as you will uplifting, sing-along choruses. From the pleading track "The Complication" to the naughty confessional of "Secret," the frustrated "How Many Times," and the redemption of "That's My Girl," DeMammos' awe-inspiring pipes, as emotive as they are powerful, detail a lived-it treatise on the highs and lows of love. This is what New York rock is supposed to be all about.
