History
2014–2017: Formation and recognition
The band was formed in Perth while three of the group members (Josh, Michael, Stephen) were still attending high school. They met in their music class and decided to form the band with their previous name being Small Town Heroes.[2] Seven months later Sean joined after they found him on YouTube.[3]
The Faim is managed by Rob Nassif who is a drummer in the band Gyroscope. Rob discovered The Faim in July 2015 where they were rehearsing at the rehearsal studio he owns; The Hen House Rehearsal Studios.[4]
John Feldmann, L.A.-based producer and lead singer of the band Goldfinger, found The Faim after he posted on social media looking for bands. The band got invited to L.A. to make music alongside other producers and songwriters including Pete Wentz, Chris Cheney, and Ashton Irwin. The band got signed with BMG Rights Management and with the help of Pete Wentz produced their debut single "Saints of the Sinners".[1]

The band was also invited to perform at the prestigious Download Festival, Slam Dunk Festival, The Great Escape and Liverpool Sound City.[5][6]
Later in the year, The Faim went on another world tour which included 50 shows across 17 weeks visiting 11 countries. The Faim started out playing at world renowned Reading and Leeds Festival before a 3 week promo tour of Germany where the bands single "Summer Is A Curse" made it to #12 on the German radio charts. They were also the support artist for Against The Current during their European Tour.[7][8]
