FAULT Exclusive: BOYS AROUND TOWN
Photo by Alexandra Leese
Male models. For decades, they’ve been seen as little more than the pretty faces (and killer abs) gracing the fashion world’s catwalks, magazine covers and TV adverts. Tall, chiselled, and impossibly good-looking – yet with a huge amount to offer besides their looks – it’s a sad case of affairs that people fail to take these bright young things at anything other than…
The new Primadonna !
Looking at her upcoming album cover, Marina and the Diamonds’ greyish hair might lead some to suggest that she's past it already. Not on our your life, she isn't. On the contrary, Marina's new look and sparkling single promise to be the start of something great!
Yesterday saw the release of her latest single ‘Primadonna’: a mixture of dance floor-shaking beats, Marina’s one-of-a-kind vocals…
Future FAULT: Miniature Cities
London-based electro/alt-rock trio Miniature Cities are set to release their debut EP in mid-May, which will be available to download digitally through iTunes and Amazon. We at FAULT loved the Reznor-esque grittiness of their pre-release track, 'Just to Keep Me Awake' - as well as the story behind their name, which was inspired by band mate Joe Barnby's admiration for seminal psychologist Carl…

2forJoy – FAULT’s one to watch this Summer
2forJoy - Choke
London's own 2forJoy - aka Ruth Ivo - has just released her first music video for debut track Choke. Beautifully filmed by FAULT Favourite photographer (and regular contributor) Annick Wolfers, Choke is moody, atmospheric power pop at its best - and the video certainly fits the brief. Listening to - and watching - 2forJoy, we were struck by the fact that, rather than treading…
Karin Park at White Heat
"It's hard when you sing about blood and torture and stuff", Karin Park confessed to the audience of Madame Jojo's, in the sweetest voice imaginable, "so we really appreciate your support". Karin Park is a futuristic fashion disco ball, part long-limbed modelesque posing (Tyra would be proud), part electrogothic warrior.
On Tuesday Park headlined London's White Heat to celebrate the release of…
