The Faint release new song “Young & Realistic,” touring with Gang of Four

Nebraskan dance-punks The Faint released a new single “Young & Realistic” yesterday, which vocalist Todd Fink said, “goes in The Faint Danse Party folder. [It’s] pretty song-y for club music and pretty clubby for indie/punk, this one falls right in the sweet spot.” The song definitely sounds right out of the ’80s synthpop era. Listen below.

The Faint have also announced they will be touring with post-punk legends Gang of Four (well, Gang of Andy Gill and three other guys), about which Todd said, “they’ve been a long time influence on The Faint. Life is insane.” The two bands will stop off at NYC’s Webster Hall on October 6. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (5/20) at 10 am. All dates are listed below.
