Lord Huron
Lord Huron is a musical and visual project created by Ben Schneider. Originally a solo project, collaborators now include Mark Barry (percussion, vocals), Miguel Briseno (bass, percussion), Brett Farkas (guitar, vocals) and Tom Renaud (guitar, vocals). Ben Schneider was born in Michigan and started playing music as a child. He studied art in college and lived in France and New York before moving to Los Angeles in 2005 to pursue a career in the visual arts.
In May 2010, Schneider traveled home to Michigan and spent a week on the shores of Lake Huron. There at the lake, where many of his formative experiences had come to pass, Schneider recorded the three songs that would comprise the Into the Sun EP. He released the EP online in June and dispersed a small number of CDs complete with his own artwork. Lord Huron's first live show was in August 2010. Schneider released his second EP, Mighty, in November 2010.
The band toured heavily in 2011, continuing to develop a live show. In January 2012, Lord Huron signed with independent label, IAMSOUND Records. The first full-length album from Lord Huron, Lonesome Dreams will be released in September 2012.

Faces On Film
Faces On Film is the project of songwriter Mike Fiore. Showcasing both the epic and the intimate on The Troubles, its self-released debut LP, guitars drone and pianos alternate between plucking out fun and eerie melodies, all while Fiore makes veiled references to unspoken crimes, abandoned plans, and dysfunctional families, with his rich and enigmatic lyrics.
Though Fiore wrote some of the songs on The Troubles as long as four years ago, the recording process was brief — predominantly recorded in a former piano factory in less than one week.
The Boston Globe‘s James Reed named The Troubles one of his top albums of 2008, saying it “sounds like a private affair straight from the heart.” Others in the media have had kind words as well:
“Toggling between warm meditations and carefully managed chaos, the album is built around an uneasy but elegantly executed juxtaposition – the collision of the intimate and the epic – and it colors the collection in a million shades of gray.”
– Joan Anderman, Boston Globe(album review)
“Faces on Film, led by singer-guitarist Mike Fiore, kicked up dust and diamonds with a set of stark, spooky, and altogether sparkling Gothic folk songs designed to unnerve. Both plan and execution worked magnificently well.”
– Jonathan Perry, Boston Globe (live review)
“Combining the best elements from bands like Blitzen Trapper, Annuals, and Modest Mouse, Faces on Film showcase both the epic and the intimate.”
