Faber Drive
Faber Drive is one of Canada’s hottest young bands. After beating out more than 500 other artists from across Canada to take first place in a radio competition, Faber Drive started opening for notable acts such as Nickelback, Simple Plan and Hedley. With the release of their pop-punk infused debut album Seven Second Surgery, Faber Drive hit 1 on Much Music, saw 3 top 10 radio singles and was nominated for the Juno award for “Best New Artist” in 2008. Their sophomore release, can'T keEp A SecrEt deftly crosses the borders between Faber Drive’s punk rock roots into electro-pop mixed with epic balladry. The first single “G-Get Up and Dance” has been a top 10 staple on CHUM FM, MuchMusic and has been one of the top downloads on iTunes for weeks. www.myspace.com/faberdrive |
