John Faye

John Faye is a Philadelphia-based power pop maestro who's been crafting catchy hooks and relatable stories since the '90s. Best known as frontman of alt-rockers The Caulfields (remember their 1995 hit "Devil's Diary"?) and later the band IKE, he's evolved into a prolific solo artist blending witty lyricism with crunchy guitar-driven melodies. His recent work – like the cheeky commentary of "Sell Your Soul As An NFT!" or the warm fuzzies of "I Never Liked the Holidays (Before I Met You)" – shows he's still got that knack for pairing everyday anxieties and joys with shout-along choruses. Whether he's dishing out relationship postmortems or existential diner booth conversations, Faye remains a lifer in the indie rock scene, keeping one foot in '90s college radio nostalgia and the other firmly in modern DIY energy.
