Faber is the self-titled EP by Canadian pop-punk band Faber Drive, released prior to their name change. Released in limited quantities, it is packaged in a black and white cardsleeve and features three tracks. The first two were eventually re-released on their debut studio album Seven Second Surgery in 2007. The third track, Cementhead, is only available on this release.
The EP was re-issued on June 3, 2016.
Background Originating in 2004, in Mission, British Columbia, first under the name "Faber", the band's line-up consisted of lead vocalist Dave Faber, guitarist David Hinsley, bassist Jeremy Liddle and drummer Ray Bull. In 2005, the group competed in Fox Seeds, the band competition of Vancouver radio station CFOX-FM, where they submitted the song "Sex and Love" on the day of the deadline, ultimately winning the contest. A demo tape was later released, which caught the attention of Nickelback's producer Joey Moi and songwriter Brian Howes.
Their self-titled EP was produced by Joey Moi and Brian Howes, recorded at Mountain View Studios in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
