Canadian rock band Faber Drive released the music video for their most recent radio hit "You and I Tonight," the third single off band's sophomore album, Awfully stylized as "can'T keEp A SecrEt," [The capitalized letters forming the word TEASE] is actually one giant leap for these guys. It's the first Seven Second Surgery-esque song released from the album after a follow-up of the fast-tracked first two singles "G-Get Up and Dance" and "Give Him Up."The spirited pop-punk band Faber Drive is a four-piece, Juno award nominated Canadian pop punk band from the semi-rural Vancouver bedroom community of Mission, British Columbia. Discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, and signed to his 604 Records label. Faber Drive is a young upstart group trying some very bold things early on in their career so with such exploration bringing out some truly unique musicianship it's going to be interesting where lead vocals and rhythm guitar Dave Faber and company go in the next a couple of years.
The Jeff Johnson power ballad collaboration, "You and I Tonight" is reminiscent of their previous work. The acoustic ballad just has this very captivating melody. It's a very romantic song lyrically speaking and the chorus just pops like really, really high in comparison to the verse. I think "You and I Tonight" is basically about having a romantic date. like there's a candle that lights the room.
The video was directed by Colin Minihan of Digital Interference and produced by Shawn Angeleski. It was a wet night at Terminal City outdoor set in Vancouver, the rain towers and SPFX were done by our friends BrantFX, coincidently the same people and the same film set we collaborated on several years ago for the highly controversial CTV docudrama Pickton, by Academy Award winning director Malcom Clarke.
Taking an intricate look at a band in the leagues of Faber Drive requires a little more effort than most contemporary rock bands on the market. I mean sure they pretty much sound like any other current up and coming artist who can perfect modern production trends. Then everyone has to take into consideration that Faber Drive has borrowed from a wide array of influences whether its lavish backing harmony vocals or extremely infectious choruses Faber Drive has bordered on a modern melodic rock group all the while pushing the envelope and nearly crossing into the dreaded boy band genre.
