Arno

It was in Ostend in the Flemish part of Belgium that Arno Hintjens was born on May 21, 1949. His mother was into the latest things and liked Greco and rock'n'roll. As for his father, an aviator and mechanic in the aeronautic industry, he was someone who liked politics and American literature. In the 1960's, Arno travelled to Asia and made the ritual visit to Kathmandu. We also caught a glimpse of him singing in St. Tropez, on the Greek islands, or in Amsterdam. Undeniably turned onto music, he sang for the first time on stage during a summer music festival in Ostend in 1969.

Forever and a Day

FAAD was a rockin 5 piece, and later a rockin 4 piece. The band formed from the ashes of a long gone FL punk band, Last Minute. Half of the band formed hardcore mega band Poison the Well, while the others formed FAAD. FAAD began their career with an EP on Eulogy and a tour up the east with KEEPSAKE. After close to a year of touring, the band decided to shake things up. Guitarist Mike Crigler took over vocal duties on the Eulogy full length. The band matured from a poppy emo band to a more elaborate group, focusing more on songwriting and less on image.
