INTERVIEW: Painted Faces

image
Painted Faces are an indie rock band from London, Ontario. Blending their love of punk rock with a genre that’s making its progression back into the mainstream, the band are aiming high – and landing on their feet. They released their new EP, Vinyl Signs, this past September, and I was recently able to discuss it and how this past year has been with the up-and-coming four-piece.

How would you describe Painted Faces to those who have never listened to the band before?
Well, we grew up listening to punk rock, so that’s definitely the base of all our musical upbringings. But as we’ve matured, we’ve definitely embraced what every genre has to offer, and would describe our sound as indie rock with punk undertones.

Who would you say were your musical influences growing up?
We all had very different influences growing up and it’s helped everyone add a different flavour to our current sound:

Kyle Wakeman: Saves The Day, Get Up Kids [and] Jimmy Eat World.
Nik Pilecki: Belvedere, Strung Out [and] Lagwagon.
John Havaris: Guns N’ Roses, Weezer [and] Bon Jovi.
Trevor Rowe: Movielife, Green Day [and] Jimmy Eat World.
