I kinda progressed from The Bravery to The Faint, I don't see listening to The Bravery as them being like The Faint, buuuut, they make SOME good stuff.

Although that 'Hot Pursuit' song is undeniably rocking.

Hehe...The Faint are the reason I forked out £26 for a ticket to that gig, but it's the first gig I've paid money for in about a year, so I don't feel so bad...
But seriously, I haven't seen a better live band than them - it's impossible to go to one of their shows and not dance, or smile, or generally feel great.
So it'll be interesting to see them with Bright Eyes... ;)

--- Quote from: OtterErotic ---The song "Headfull of Pills" by the Prima Donnas is at least as good as the best Faint songs.

Wow! I don't think I've ever come across someone who wasn't me talking up the Prima Donnas. But that song and (Dancin' In The) Freaky Zone are way better than the Faint, who I have to say leave me a little bit cold. But I can imagine a fan of the Faint liking the Prima Donnas so check them out.

Awesome! Yeah, aside from "Worked Up So Sexual," I'm not really a huge fan of the Faint. The Prima Donnas are a lot more fun, and a lot more ridiculous. Have you heard Gene Defcon's solo album? "Liz" and "Frankenstein" are two of my favorite songs ever.

--- Quote from: muffy ---The Faint are the best band, ever. Period.
Stuff that's not exactly like them, but you may like (aswell as what's been mentioned) -
Soulwax (the new stuff especially, songs like E-talking)
Peaches
Miss Kittin and the Hacker
Felix da Housecat
Ellen Allien
Fischerspooner's first album. The new one is a crock of shite, though.
Surferosa
Broken Spindles (Joel from The Faint's other project - a lot more mellow, but good)
Aw, and Some Incriminating Photographs by the Faint has just come on. Nice.

TEH SEX!!!
Eenfidel:
The Faint are synthrock- that's the most common term I've heard describing them. It's not too far off oldschool industrial sounds in spirit, blending guitars and vocals with synth and machine. The aim and tone is different, methods not so much so.
As far as bands to reccommend, I'm not sure what to tell you. Most other synthrock bands I know of take a very different tack. I personally listen to The Faint for their amazing bestever bass lines. :)
