Face To Face

Southern California outfit Face to Face got together in the early ’90s, delivering no-frills, fast-paced blasts that trod familiar anti-authority punk ground. Following their 1992 debut, Don’t Turn Away, their popularity peaked, joining contemporaries NOFX and the Offspring as punk hit mainstream with the Warped Tour crowd. After an extended hiatus and almost a decade removed from their prior release, they returned with a matured, restrained punk-rock sound that carried them into the 2010s. In fall 2003, Face to Face disbanded after 13 years and six albums. Two years later, the retrospective Shoot the Moon: The Essential Collection was released on Keith’s Antagonist Records. In 2008, Keith announced that the lineup that recorded Iggnorance Is Bloss and Reactionaary would be reuniting as Face to Face. Their tenth LP, Protection, was released in early 2016, featuring the single “Bent But Not Broken.” A 7″ single, “Say What You Want” backed with “I. Me, Mine,” was released the following summer.
