The Faint

The Faint is an American dance-punk band from Omaha, Nebraska, and a member of the Saddle Creek Records collective. Originally founded in 1995 under the name Norman Bailer by vocalist Todd Fink, drummer Clark Baechle, and multi-instrumentalist Joel Petersen, the project briefly included Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst. The band later solidified its lineup and toured with its labelmates. Known for their synth-driven sound, they gained an underground following on the United States club circuit following the release of their albums Blank-Wave Arcade in 1999 and Danse Macabre in 2001.
