FAUXTROT is a four piece progressive hardcore band based out of Philadelphia, Pa. The band is compared to Hail The Sun, Dance Gavin Dance and other various bands.The band members are: ROBERT BECKER-Vocals; AUSTIN LOPEZ-Guitar; Jared LOPEZ-Bass and DEREK HOOKS-Drums.
 
This 4 song E.P. was Produced by Eric Novroski and Mixed and Mastered by Skyler Wilkerson. RETRACE EMBRACE kicks off the CD with some very flashy lead guitar work and jet speed drumming.I find quite amazing the vocals come right in between the riffs. This band is as tight as ever as if they've been playing together for years. Impressive.
 
FOLLOW YOU is a laid back song which is quite sweet. The lyrics are great as you can hear Robert singing from his heart. The acoustic guitar is great to hear as it's laid back as the singing is quite a standout. Sweet to hear.
 
CHEERS TO THE YEARS has a nice jazzy feel as the band is straight on  every note. I must admit, the guitar work reminds me a bit of Al Di Meola. The drummer is hitting every note as Robert sings away. This song is quite a highlight.
 
I want to give ROBERT BECKER a BIG THANK YOU for being in touch. Watch out for the band. You can find the band at: Bandcamp. Facebook, Reddit, Tik Tok, Pandora, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Deezer, Spotify. You tube, Crunchbase and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD  [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE]
