| Face Tomorrow was een rockband met als thuisbasis Rotterdam. De band was actief van 1997 tot 2012 en heeft opgetreden op verschillende festivals, waaronder Pukkelpop, Groezrock, Party on, Lowlands en Schippop. De band werd opgericht in 1997 door gitarist Aart Steekelenburg, die in de beginjaren als zanger fungeerde. Toen de band in 2000 zanger Jelle Schrooten bij de band haalde, verruilde hij de microfoon voor de gitaar. De band begon als emocoreband, geinspireerd door groepen als Sunny Day Real Estate, At the Drive-In, Far en Quicksand, maar gaandeweg veranderde het geluid en nam de gelaagdheid en diversiteit van de nummers toe. In hun vijftienjarig bestaan speelde de band 639 optredens en eindigde de groep met een afscheidsconcert in het Rotterdamse Rotown op 25 november 2012. Meer... |

Both influenced by 90's emo mainstays as Sunny Day Real Estate, Quicksand and At The Drive In as Deftones, Radiohead, Muse and the Foo Fighters, Face Tomorrow have been mastering their skills for over a decade to come to a sound all of their own. Their first three albums and most notably their last album "In The Dark", released by Excelsior Recordings/V2 in 2008, allowed them to play over 500 shows and brought them through Germany, the UK, Belgium, Denmark, France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech republic, the USA and big festivals like Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Paaspop, Groezrock, got them airplay on a.o. Kerrang TV, MTV 2, Jim TV, TMF Belgium and Studio Brussel. Gaining both a European audience as growing as musicians with every album. In between all this the band recorded a brand new album in the famous Split Second Sound Studios in Amsterdam with producer Jochem Jacobs (mostly known form his band Textures). Jochem succeeded in finally catching the live power and energy of the band on cd. Darius van Helfteren was responsible for the mastering. The new CD "Face Tomorrow" sounds very positive and hopeful compared to the melancholic appropriately titled In the Dark. During the writing process of the latter, both Jelle and Aart lost their father, which of course had a great impact on their life and the lyrics of the band. The new album shows a band that has overcome the Dark and is happy to be able to embrace life fully again. Now the band is excited to get in the van again to spread the Face Tomorrow word throughout Europe & beyond with a little help from their new label Redfield Records who will release the album throughout Europe. The first single The Fix is planned for February 18th and will be followed by the release of the full album on March 25th. Club Rotown in Rotterdam has the honour of the release party a day later, Saturday March 26th. |
