Three "New Faces" Welcomed to the Label


Loveless Records Signs Local Favorite New Faces!

Loveless Records is proud to announce New Faces as the newest (and youngest!) members of the Loveless family.



Just a short ferry ride from Seattle, in the small town of Port Townsend, big things are happening. Three teenagers, lead singer/guitarist Nico Janssen (18), bassist Kyle Hove (17) and drummer Conor Sisk (16), make up the band New Faces, who have stepped into the scene impressing critics with their considerable musical talents.

But don’t let their ages fool you. Their sound has the undeniable maturity of veteran musicians. This is in large part due to their clever lyrics, unique rhythms, and Nico’s, deeper ranged vocals.

When New Faces became the winners of the 2008 Sound Off! competition, the Experience Music Project's 21-and-under battle-of-the-bands , they made a name for themselves on the Seattle music front.

Seattle P-I writer Athima Chansanchai said this about the New Faces performance after they won.
“Some bands you see for the first time and realize they're going to be big some day”

During the final round of Sound Off!, the CW's Underground created a documentary of the four finalists. Here is the New Faces documentary, before they won the entire competition.

Riding the wave of success after Sound Off!, New Faces landed performances at Seattle’s biggest summer music festivals – Bumbershoot and The Capitol Hill Block Party.

Their debut album “Two Years” is due out on Loveless Records on August 26th. Summer tour dates are listed below with more with more to be announced.
