So, I know PopSense posted one song by The Faint a while back, but are you kidding me? One song? That's it? The Faint totally deserves its own spotlight. Swapping synthesizers for guitars, this Omaha quintet began writing music under the name The Faint in 1998, and since has released 5 albums—all of which contain dance anthem beats and outspoken lyrics pertaining to the media, pop culture, relationships and sexuality. In 'Psycho', singer Todd Fink apologizes after an argument by singing, "Forget the words I said/ I was not myself/ I never really thought you were psycho," and in 'Worked Up So Sexual,' he remarks about strip clubs: "There are dozens of these clubs where men can go/ some people need a little challenge to their fantasies at home."

The Faint quickly became known for their live show, what the band has called a "half-rave-half-gallery affair," spreading their electro-pop, synth-rock jams 'round the world as they toured endlessly. After a long four year hiatus, The Faint is finally back and better than ever after having released the self-written, recorded, and produced Fasciinatiion in early August.

If you like good music, check out these songs—they're bound to put a little boogie in your pants.
