“Villages,” the debut single from Gold Coast rockers Fairchild Republic, is one of those songs that creeps underneath your skin, staying put long after it’s over. The band leaked it to Rage late last year, and it made such an impression that it ended up in the music program’s top 50 clips of the year.
And it wasn’t even released yet.
So we can expect even bigger things now that the epic “Villages” is officially dropping. It should whip us all into a frenzy before Fairchild Republic’s debut album hits record store shelves in the middle of the year. That frenzy whipping will kick off later this month when Fairchild Republic embark on an east coast tour to support the single’s release. Be there so you can say you saw them before they made it big!
