Biography
The Pretty Faces combine edgy, up-tempo, melodic rock influences from throughout the past 50 years to create a unique, but strangely familar sound. From 50''s rock n'' roll, to 60''s garage, to 70''s punk, to 80''s new wave, to 90''s grunge, to modern ''new garage'', The Pretty Faces are truly a band ''a half century in the making''.
Jeph Thorslund fronts the band providing Lead Vocals and Guitar, as well as taking the role of cheif songwriter. While his influences may span several decades, there''s a thread that links all the music that has had an impact on his writing style. A beat that moves your body, words refreshingly perk your mind''s eye, and a sound that is readily accessabily but curiously different. Unpredictable, but perfectly tangeable. A list of adjectives which now permeates the sound of The Pretty Faces.
Jeph''s younger brother Thomas Thorslund provides the foundation to this sound with the role of ''Rhythmic Sense Assaulter,'' A.K.A. Drummer. Having played drums for more years than even our young minds can count, Tom is only truly at home when in command of his four-piece silver sparkle line of musical artilery. Tom has studied all the rock greats; Keith Moon, John Bonham, Dave Grohl, Matt Cameron, and has come away with a collection of rock n'' roll drum repetoir so expansive the true origins are lost. What remains is the product of ultimate refinement which can only be delivered with Tom''s uncanny technical prowess. Truly a "beat that moves your body."
Rounding off the rhythm section is Bassist, and good friend, Phill Costanza (A.K.A. Phill Deville/ Phill Camino). Phill''s focus and attention to detail provide The Pretty Faces with an unwavering low-end grove that drives the songs from start to finish. Phill''s love of classic cars, rockabilly and swing music, and trendy retro fashions provide the band with an unrelenting supply of one rock n'' rolls most valuable ingredients: Plenty of groovy style.
Finishing off the roster as Rhythm Guitarist, Organist and Backing Vocalist is the lovely Miss Hannah Sturgeon. Hannah proves to truly be a ''Jane of all trades'', and provides the songs with whatever final ingredient is desperately being called for. Her guitar playing provides detail and grace to the movement of the arrangments, while her angelic vocals add a tender beauty to even the most intense musical moments.
The Pretty Faces'' sound is truly greater than the sum of it''s parts. It hopes to capture this musical machine''s full artistic potential on it''s upcoming new album. For the time being, be sure not to miss any of their wildly exciting live performances. It''s 50 years of music history behind this history in the making.
