Get to Know Front Counter

Front Counter formed in the summer of 2004 with Adin, Josh, and Anton, always pushing forward there has been several line-up changes along the way. Now with Mick and Rhys on board the band have spent the last 6 months working on their debut E.P.

Listen to Front Counter's 'What's Your Name'
What's Your Name: It's a pop/rock feel good track that is a crowd favorite. It was written in the studio and turned out great. It has been receiving airplay on many community radio stations. I think Strauchanie would like it to be honest with you.
