SINGLES: “Your Love” From FACING NEW YORK

FACING NEW YORK have released “Your Love” from their album “Dogtown“.

“Your Love” is a real humdinger of an indie rock love song that just beats along with your heart in a rhythmic melancholy that is just delightfully beautiful. Its a chill out song that just grabs you and won’t let go until the very last chord. It swings around to its own mood slowly stomping along til it decides to go quiet to build a head of steam to get back to that thumping heart beat. The vocals set it off perfectly.  A good one to have in your collection.

True friendship not only weathers, but also withstands the tides of change, trends, and time. No matter how fast life moves, it stays constant and consistent. The members of Facing New York— Eric Frederic [vocals, guitar] (also known as the multi-platinum GRAMMY–nominated producer/songwriter/artist Ricky Reed), Brandon Canchola [bass], and Omar Cuellar [drums]—maintain such a friendship. In fact, this bond underscores the essence of the Bay Area band, enabling them to always pick up where they left off.

Formed in 2004, the group quietly emerged as a cult favorite in the Northern California scene as they delivered a handful of progressively charged alternative rock releases: Swimming Not Treading [2004], Facing New York [2005], and Get Hot [2008]. They even built an international following by touring throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. Then, life happened throughout the ensuing decade with ups, downs, trials, tribulations, weddings, deaths, births, and all manner of change.

“Facing New York is always happening in the background,” explains Brandon. “It’s something we regularly think about, no matter where we are. Since we’re family, there’s no pressure. The music is really a construct through which we can express our love for each other as friends with no expectations ever.”

“We’re lucky that we have this strange project where we can make music that matures and evolves with us,” adds Eric. “We laugh at the same jokes, speak the same language, and have a bond you can only attain by doing terrible touring together in your twenties. This is something we all clearly want to do very much. Nobody is willing to let it go. We’re completely on the same page.”

“We want to show people rock’s not dead,” concludes Brandon. “It’s what brought us together, and it’s what we’re proud to play to this day.”

Omar leaves off, “This is a brotherhood. I look forward to making music with these guys for a long time—even if it takes another ten years to put out a record. It’s a family.”
