“‘Me Because of You’ was written about embracing change and letting go of a past version of yourself,” says bassist and keyboardist Stephen Beerkens. “The lyrics recognize the huge impact that someone else can have on the process. This song was a huge milestone for us, as it’s our first release that has been self-produced!”
The track follows the previously released captivating track “The Alchemist,” the celebratory “ERA,” the adrenaline-charged “The Hills,” and the driving pop-rock anthem “Ease My Mind.”
The Australian four-piece is gearing up to release their sophomore album this summer which touches on themes of nostalgia, celebration, escapism, and self-discovery. Recorded between Los Angeles and Perth, The Faim worked with several producers on Talk Talk including Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly), Erik Ron (Panic! At the Disco, Godsmack, Set It Off), and Matthew Pauling (Palaye Royale, 5 Seconds of Summer, State Champs) to showcase the band’s vast range of styles and tones.
Known for non-stop touring and playing hundreds of shows, The Faim are eager to get back on the road after the pandemic lull. The band will embark on a UK & EU headlining tour this summer that will include performances at major festivals Rock am Ring, Download Festival, Rock in Werchter, La Nuit De l'Erdre, Musilac, and more. Following their EU & UK run, the band will embark on an Australian tour beginning July 15 in their hometown of Perth. For more information, visit http://thefaim.com/.
