Faster Faster is a band from Brunswick, Georgia, United States.

Formation

The final line-up for Faster Faster was formed in July 2007 by five musicians. Kyle (vocals), Randall (vocals/guitar), Ryan (guitar), Steuart (drums), and Joey (bass) were all previously members of other local bands in and around Brunswick, Georgia that were predominantly hardcore groups but found a softer sound they felt was more fitting after leaving their grungy tunes behind. The band's popularity skyrocketed after hundreds of listeners logged on to their Myspace profiles to listen to their music.

Pillow Talk 101 and Hopes & Dreams

Producing a glimpse of their potential hit songs, Pillow Talk 101 was released on the south Georgia record label Still Movement Records after several months of brainstorming and recording. Shortly thereafter, they paired up with Matt Vigliotti and Eccentric Energy Entertainment to manage the band and help with touring.

After two years of playing live shows and critiquing their work, Faster Faster, with bigger dreams of success than ever, released their freshman, full-length album Hopes and Dreams in August 2008 on Oort Records, a sub-label of Lobster Records.

After the release of their debut full-length CD, Faster Faster launched a nationwide tour, traveling outside the east coast to cities including New York City, New York; Tallahassee, Florida; and Chicago, Illinois. The band has toured with other up-and-coming bands from along the east coast and opened for bands of notoriety in their genre such as Mayday Parade, School Boy Humor, and Farewell. They were also featured on AMP Magazine's 21 Young Guns of 2009 compilation CD.

Unfinished second studio album

As of late 2008, Faster Faster began working on their second studio album. Around Christmas they released a new song, "You're Killing Me Smalls".

Three demos have surfaced since, via the website Absolute Punk and the band's Myspace and purevolume pages. These demos are entitled "170 as Usual" "The Weekend" and "Word of Advice You're A Joke". At recent shows they have unleashed at least three other new songs, including one named after a scene from the movie Step Brothers, "The Catalina Wine Mixer".

Break-up

In September 2009 rumors began to spread of Faster Faster's demise. None of the reasons supplied by fans have been confirmed. On September 22, 2009 they released a statement via Myspace that they were officially through with the band.

Current projects

Soon after the end of Faster Faster, Randall Dowling took control of the band's Myspace page in order to launch his then-solo project I Am Me, releasing songs such as "The City", "Two Years", "Dog", and "The Way She Sees Me". Soon after the release of this project, Dowling put up a blog stating that Faster Faster's old drummer, Steuart Wainright, had been added to the lineup of I Am Me. A photoshoot was done for the duo and some of the pictures were uploaded to Wainright's Facebook profile. Since then, the blog and pictures have been deleted.

In April 2010, at a show in Brunswick, Georgia, after Dowling played a set as I Am Me, Kyle Davis made a guest appearance to finish the set with a cover of MGMT's "Electric Feel". A group consisting of Dowling, Davis, Trevor Aspinwall, Jet Turner, and Miles Teeters (old members of local Brunswick band Dora Maar) then took the stage. Davis stated, "I'm not sure if there's a name for this yet, but we have a couple songs that we're going to play for you". They were later confirmed to be named Never Have I Ever, and recorded four demos at Rock Studio in Brunswick.

On March 10, 2011, Dowling announced a new project called Solid Gold Thunder via Facebook which involved almost all members of Faster Faster.
