Canadian indie legends Furnaceface have released their 5th album. And The Days Are Short Again....
Original members Pat Banister (guitar, vocals) David Dudley (drums) and Tom Stewart (bass, vocals) have partnered themselves with long time friend and former band member Martin Jones (sound of one hand studios) to co-produce and engineer the album, the follow up to 1996's Unsafe@Anyspeed.
In the decade since Furnaceface's first release, Let it Down in 1989, the band has consistently bucked trends and challenged the mainstream while developing a national reputation and fanatical grassroots following.
Furnaceface avoid the categorization common in today's one-dimensional disposable musical environment.They have produced a catalogue of records that shift effortlessly between musical genres.
The discography will find hard driving heavy riffs to classic pop and everything in between, ska, 60's garage, punk, dance and even a rap number. And The Days Are Short Again... is the best recorded representation of the band to date, it supplies all the diversity that marks the live experience from full blown pop/punk classics like the title track "And The Days Are Short Again..." and "Talk Around the World", to the sweet but eerie first single "Heartless".
The band doesn't leave the humor off of this album either, three songs will have you singing along and busting a gut from the moment you hear them."I'm Getting Fat", "Too Many Nuts" and the first ever - love it or hate it - rockabilly song "Lucky Number Seven" are sure to become staples of the live show.
