Offering impossibly catchy hooks and melodies, unparalleled harmonies, blues-influenced instrumentation and a modern pop sensibility, Northern Faces has crafted an impressive standout sound that is all their own. The Albany, NY-based indie-rock outfit showcases their sonic prowess on their self-titled, debut full-length, released this past April on Equal Vision Records.

Lead single "Wait, Wait, Wait" has quickly earned the band new fans and widespread attention around the world, receiving mass radio support and new stations continuously adding the song into rotation.

The band has had over 2.5 million plays on Spotify and has been featured on the Alternative Top 100, Hot Alternative, Rainy Day and New Music Tuesday official Spotify playlists. "Wait, Wait, Wait" currently holds over 1.7 million of those streams alone, with recently released follow-up single, "Cops Come" already racking up nearly half a million plays in just a single month.

Northern Faces' debut show was an opening slot for The Kooks and Royal Teeth in early 2012. They've since toured and shared stages with the diverse likes of The 1975, Kongos, Cage The Elephant, Say Anything, RX Bandits, Electric Guest, Civil Twilight, Futurebirds, and Heartless Bastards to name a few. Most recently, they toured as direct support to The Dear Hunter this past spring.

New Jersey-based alt-rockers Modern Chemistry will support the show.
