Artist description The Cleveland group consists of Cleft S. on acoustic guitar / vocals along with the melodious Woman’s Corral Extravaganza filling in with various percussion. The lush female backgrounds amplify the absurd hilarity of a squirrelly guy singing things like, “You’re just a pretty face to use and throw away.” The overall sound of their debut album “Kiss & Make-Up” harkens back to the days of early doo-wop…with a cynical twist. Cleft half jokingly calls the band a satanic doo-wop group.

Artist History The Faint of Heart is a younger 5 piece indie doo wop outfit with Cleft S. leading the charge of an all female back-up band. Their stripped down acoustic pop quirkiness nods to The Violent Femmes, Belle and Sebastian, and The Velvet Underground. Highlights: Five part harmonies with lyrics like "You're just a pretty face to use and throw away," xylophone and finger cymbal solos, a strap on marching band snare kit.
