Face The King needs YOUR help on Kickstarter!!

Face The King Army, It's been an incredibly productive year for Face The King, yet things are just beginning - and we have a whole lot to look forward to in 2015. We have a big announcement to make this coming February that will create huge opportunities for us, but before any of it can happen we need help from YOU, the fans - who have been nothing but gracious and supportive up to this point. We realize it is all of you who helped to get us this far, and without your continued support it's impossible for us to keep doing what we love most. Everything is riding on our next release, which will be our very first full length album. It is so close to being finished, yet we can't do it without that little extra push from you. We need to raise $4,000 dollars via Kickstarter in order to truly give the fans what they deserve - a great record. For your consideration, there are a ton of rewards for fans to receive for helping us: ranging from signed custom merchandise, all the way to winning a free guitar, or Face The King performing in YOUR home town. Any donation is more than appreciated (big or small), and will be helping not only to keep our dream alive - but to take it to new heights. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/facetheking/face-the-kings-first-full-length-album-needs-your/description Thank you as always for being such an amazing support system for us, and for being the incredible people that you are. We are so lucky. Wishing all of you a kickass New Year. Love, Dan, Eric, Joey, & The Randylion

Face The King is working on partnering with a major anti-bullying movement. This would be a national endeavor and will hopefully start a real change. If you've ever been bullied or know someone who has - we want to hear your story.

A great quote we wanted to share:

"Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, musicians and singers face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they’ll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every role, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that line, that laugh, that gesture, or that interpretation that will stir the audience’s soul. Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life’s nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another’s heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes." — David Ackert, LA Rock Times
