The band are signed to a fairly small independent label called "BIG CAT RECORDS”, which also have singer song writer, named HEATHER FRITH, who could be compared to JONI MITCHELL.

FAITH OVER REASON's sound is a cross between folk and indie music, which is a great cross over, which really works well when playing live. Their sound is very quiet in places, and quite hard in others in songs such as "MOVE CLOSER”. They do rely heavily on MORIA LAMBERT's acoustic solo songs, during the set. And also when things go wrong, eg broken strings which are inevitable. But when things like this do happen or even a solo feature in the set, she certainly possess one hell of a voice. Personally the band lack confidence at playing live, as I would say at a rough guess, when they started back in 1989, they have only played about 40 to 50 shows. The biggest gig FAITH OVER REASON have played, was when they supported JULIE CRUISE at the London Palladium back in February earlier this year.

In my own opion, they should try to get a better management deal who would push them a bit more. As they certainly have the musical talent and creativity, which isn't bad for a band these days.

At a guess, I would say their average age would be 23, which again, is on their side. I can see this lot if encouraged more by the media, record company's and radio producers could become a house hold name!

FAITH OVER REASON have appeared on a few radio progammes over the years such as RICHARD SKINNER's Saturday sequence, GARY CROWLEY's GLR show, and even some airplay on the BBC WORLD SERVICE. Well I hope I’ve given you enough information for to check them out, as they are in my eyes a little special. If you would like to know any more information about FAITH OVER REASON please write to:-
