About

Short-lived Hardcore band from the early 80s based out of Washington, DC, USA.

Legend has it that when State Of Alert frontman Henry Rollins departed Washington, DC, in 1981 to join Black Flag, he tried to recruit [a=Untouchables] vocalist Alec MacKaye to take his spot in his old band but that MacKaye was not interested in singing Henry's words. Instead, MacKaye, guitarist Michael Hampton and drummer Ivor Hanson (the latter two formerly of the aforementioned State of Alert) hooked up with bassist Chris Bald to form Faith (or, as they are also referred to, The Faith). In 1982, the band made their vinyl debut as part of a split LP with Maryland's [a=Void (12)]. Following that release, Faith added a second guitarist, Eddie Janney (Alec's former Untouchables bandmate). This line-up appeared on the band's 1983 EP "Subject To Change" but the band split that same year. In 1985, Hampton, Hanson, and Bald would reunite in the short-lived [A=Embrace (2)] which was fronted by Alec's brother, Ian.
