Face to Face came roaring out of Victorville, California, in 1991: frontman Trever Keith, bassist Matt Riddle and drummer Rob Kurth, three guys playing punk rock fast, tight and melodic enough to hum along to, with Keith's hoarse, heart-on-sleeve bark riding on top. Don't Turn Away came first, in 1992, and Big Choice, in 1995, was the record that made their name.
"Disconnected" was the song everybody knew: KROQ in Los Angeles hammered it, and it turned up in the films Tank Girl and National Lampoon's Senior Trip. The lineup kept shifting around Keith, with Scott Shiflett joining in 1995 and Pete Parada in the band from 1998, and the records kept coming on labels like Fat Wreck Chords and Vagrant: a self-titled album in 1996 with "I Won't Lie Down", and Reactionary in 2000 with "Disappointed".
They called it a day in September 2004, and the members scattered into other bands, from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and Legion of Doom to the Offspring and Saves the Day. Four years later, in April 2008, they were back on a stage together at the Glasshouse in Pomona. Danny Thompson has held down the drums since then, and they have made 5 more albums.
