Faker Are The Real Deal
It strikes you in every dealing with Faker; from listening to their debut album Addicted Romantic, to conversing with members of the band, there's a real irony in the title by which these talented musicians choose to identify themselves.

Releases
Various Artists - Triple J's Live at the Wireless From the Vaults Volume 2
The country’s premium youth broadcaster deliver an audio-visual treat for their second collection of live music highlights.
Faker – Be The Twilight
Be The Twilight doesn’t come close to capturing the same magic as their debut, going for a very different feel altogether.
Faker - Hurricane
The following statement is absolutely factual. 'Oooh la la la' is a very fun phrase to sing.
Faker - Addicted Romantic
If you've been anywhere near a radio over the past couple of months, you'll know The Familiar and Quarter to Three. While the singles are about as catchy as Chlamydia in Paris Hilton's bedroom, the problem with the band's debut album is that there are ten other tracks that aren't quite as good.
Faker - The Familiar/Enough
Over the past 12 months Sydney band Faker have gigged with maximum vigour at every available opportunity on both headline and support tours. And follow up this success with The Familiar/Enough EP.
