Premiere: New Single From Long Faces

Long Faces at The Saint in August

"Dope Sick"

As we prepare to go barreling into the holiday season, it's a good idea to just stop for a second to catch our breath, to look back on the year that is quickly drawing to a close. It's a good idea, for example, to stop and look back on one evening in August when you saw a whole bunch of really good bands at The Saint and headed out for Korean burritos with friends after. It's nice to remember that one of those bands was New Jersey's Long Faces and that they were shooting a video for their new single "Dope Sick."

That video is in the can as we speak; and Long Faces have decided to give us a sonic preview by premiering the "Dope Sick" single here this morning.

"Dope Sick" is a chugging piece of indie pop that would feel right at home on the playlist you'll be blasting as you drive to wherever it is you may be going for the long weekend. Even in the late November chill, the song has that driving with the windows down vibe. There is something a little deeper than just a really good pop song here, though, I think. Something about the benefits and the costs associated with living your life always doing what it is you feel like you need to do.

Check out the "Dope Sick" single below and stay tuned for news of the video premiere.
