Recording Completed

Posted by Adam on 09/03/2012 at 02:42pm

So it has been a few months since you have heard from us and thought it was time to fill you in. Has been a pretty busy period but we played our first show of the year at the Gold Coast Big Day Out which was a great experience. This was Jimmy J's (beats man) first ever Fairchild show after flying back early from a cruise ship holiday to make it just in the time.

The breaking news is that we have now completed tracking and mixing of our debut album. (Can't give away the title just yet.) Really big thank-you to our mix engineer Lukey Palmer for all his hard work, dedication and patience to get it all finished in time. We cannot wait for you to hear it hopefully around August of this year with a new single out in April?? so stay tuned.

BAND

About Us

FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC are a rock band with grand ambitions. Think Killers, U2 and R.E.M and you are on the right track. Disinterested in what is cool right now, they are writing emotional songs with a goal to move people. FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC met at a Gold Coast high school and have a front man that is intoxicating in a Michael Hutchence kind of a way.

Self releasing their debut EP "Ships are for Sailing" in April 2010, FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC have taken a different approach this time around, choosing to record new material in their home studio. The opportunity to self-produce and experiment with their sound appealed and the new songs are reaping the rewards. FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC recently won Gold Coast Uncovered with their prize sending them to Japan to play a few shows and spread the gospel according to FCR.

2012 is a year of consequence for FAIRCHILD REPUBLIC kicking off with a performance at their hometown Big Day Out. It will also see them setting up the release of their debut album due mid year. FAIRCHILD REPBULIC are the kind of band that have put massive expectations on themselves and look destined to defy them.
