From beach parties all the way to the hottest night clubs, THE FACEPLANTS have proved they can do it all. Ever since 2007, the "Ska Rappers" from Coquitlam, BC have been turning strangers into fans, ripping up stages with their energized and wild personalities catching the attention of anyone who sees them.
With the release or their debut single ROLLBACK! (2010) receiving MASS attention on iTunes, the next big step for these "punks" was to shoot a music video. In June THE FACEPLANTS teamed up with the notorious H&R Black Productions out of Toronto with Ryan Long (of Long & McQuade & The Johnstones) to shoot and direct the video.
"The process was really fun," says Garrett (Lead Guitar). "We shot in a Long & McQuade!, It was kind of surreal having the lights and cameras on us like that, and I know I can speak for the rest of the band. Especially at this age, having a video on Much Music is a really big freakin' deal!" ROLLBACK! will be released in August.
Following their video success up with extensive live shows, THE FACEPLANTS will return to the studio in December to bring you their best project to date. Their EP entitled Planted. They are currently looking for a producer to help them along the way that will make this album one of the best products that has come out of Vancouver.
Planted will feature six incredibly catchy, ruthless and mind blowing tunes that will bring listeners to their feet!" says Botch (Lead Singer). "We have a lot of material to choose from, but right now we just want to put six of the BEST SONGS on the EP. Recording demos is a big part of the process; it's at that point where we make the decision on what will make it to the album. No matter what, it will have everything from catchy sing-along pop tunes, all the way to fast-paced lyrical Ska/Rap, I'm confident that it will have a wide variety that everyone will be able to relate to."
In between all the commotion of song writing, recording and shooting the video, "The Plants" have been able play some major concerts this year including opening the three-day festival Golden Spike Days, as well as playing some more local shows. They also were featured on Tri-Cities Television airing a live festival performance.
The future is bright for this unique, quirky and fearless bunch. All of these things make THE FACEPLANTS one of the newest and freshest acts coming out of BC, and nothing can stand in their way to stop them. Reppin' Coquitlam, British Columbia, THE FACEPLANTS are building their connections, making their way to the top and gaining a faithful fan base along the way.
