Anyone ever heard of this Texas band? They were signed on Roadrunner for their debut album, but were soon off the label. They now release music independantly. Not sure if they are looking for a label or not.

I would call their music post-grunge, or alternative metal. But whatever you want to call it - it's pretty decent IMO. They know how to write good, catchy songs with lots of hooks. They kinda remind me of Hinder. So if you like them, chances are you'll like Faktion. They have elements of 80s glam metal in their music, though that's not 100% what they are.

Here's a sample:

Sorry, had not heard of them...and I'm from Texas! of course, way out west Texas. Whole other country. I will check them out, though.

Hey Blaze. I am from El Paso, Texas. What part from New Mexico are you from? We are so far west, that I actually identify more with New Mexico than with Texas.

I like Alternative, but it's gotta have some electricity and grooove to it. That song was too acoustic, it sounded like something off the "Scrubs" soundtrack Faktion Icon_smile

Albuquerque.

Yeah, El Paso is very far west. Might as well be in my New Mexico.

Cool. I like Albuquerque. My wife and two girls visit there at least once a year. We don't really know anyone there... we just like to drive up there for a change of pace.
