In that unlikely setting of beige restraint, they pioneered a sound that combined \u003cbr\u003ethe melodic essence of new wave, the raw edge of post-punk, and the robotic futurism of Detroit electro. Breaking free from indie  rock’s humble comfort, they arrived armed with synths, dark eyeliner, and a raw, frenetic energy that dared audiences to actually \u003cbr\u003efeel something real, something primal. The late ’90s and early 2000s indie scene was primed for a shock, and The Faint  delivered—not just as a band, but as an invitation to cast off coolness, to sweat, to move, and to live fully in the moment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Danse Macabre (2001), The Faint’s new wave postpunk had crystallized into something darker and more expansive—and the  world was paying attention. The album fused Berlin’s underground pulse with Omaha’s DIY grit, where punk was as much about \u003cbr\u003erhythm as rebellion. With the addition of death metal guitarist Dapose, the sound tipped their lo-fi technopop into some truly  strange territory. The band’s propaganda-inspired album cover served as both a rallying cry for bodily liberation and a veiled  warning about the coming digital age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs major labels came calling, The Faint chose to stay true to their DIY ethos, maintaining control over their vision and sticking with  their hometown imprint Saddle Creek. When Wet From Birth arrived in 2004, it built on their synth-punk foundation. Orchestral \u003cbr\u003elayers and more intricate arrangements added depth without taming its confrontational and sometimes paranoid spirit. The band  toured relentlessly, including an unexpected arena tour with No Doubt that ended with a stage prank that sent Todd to a New  Mexico jail cell. (Don’t worry, Gwen bailed him out.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty years removed from its release, The Faint are returning to announce a reissue of Wet From Birth. The reissue includes the  original release - meticulously remastered for vinyl from the original tapes by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound - two never-be- \u003cbr\u003efore-heard ‘unrealized’ tracks from the album’s sessions, unreleased demos, and previously released remixes. \u003cbr\u003eWith new music and a 2025 tour on the horizon, The Faint’s spirit remains fierce, their music offering a much needed respite from  the soulless information age. And while the world has changed, The Faint’s invitation remains the same: sweat, move, and live fully \u003cbr\u003ein the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003eSIDE A \u003cbr\u003e01.
