''The Faith'' is an Australian rock band first formed in 1987. The members are vocalist Alan White, guitarist Jonathan Purcell, bass player Scott Millard and drummer Chris Briggs. Their music was influenced by bands as diverse as REM, the Cult, Television and the Velvet Underground. They were contemporaries of Died Pretty, Trilobites, Crash Politics, Candy Harlots, Bell Jar and The Screaming Tribesman. ==History== The Faith was formed after Alan White and Chris Briggs wound up their former band Sons of Guns and joined forces with Scott Millard and Jonathan Purcell, both of whom had just finished up with Sydney band the Seamonsters. The Faith debut performance was in late 1987 supporting well-known local band Bell Jar at the Harold Park Hotel in Sydney's inner west. They were noticed straight away by their peers and quickly became a part of many local billings and line-ups throughout the next few months. A new label called RooArt records noticed the band in 1987. The Faith were invited to record a track for RooArt's inaugural Youngblood compilation with leading producer Nick Mainsbridge at Sydney's Paradise Studios. After many more live dates and touring commitments, The Faith had the chance to return to the studio in December 1988 and record their debut album, ''Chain of Flowers''. Brett Myers, who was better known as the guitarist and songwriter for one Australia's most acclaimed international acts, Died Pretty, took the reins and produced the effort, along with Tony Espie, ARIA award-winning engineer, at Studios 301 in Castlereagh St. ''Chain of Flowers'' was released on the Survival Label, home to Screaming Tribesman, in December 1988 with the anticipation it would become an independent hit. The album received enormous amounts of critical praise from street press around the country, however radio failed to latch on and inevitably record sales failed to match the expectations. Although sales were respectable for an Independent release, it wasn't enough to guarantee interest from any of the major labels and the band lost momentum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Faith (Australian band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
