In part two of this series we see the fictional band with real music (please see previous post if you are confused) fall into the dreaded sophomore slump. In reality these second albums may not be as good as the fist album for various reasons, less time to write, rushed production, etc. I like the idea though that in this fictional world (just like in the real world) this is some kids favorite NNF record because they listened to it when they were 14 years old and it just hit a special place with their heart. So without further ado here is album number two in the No Name Face discography. The Show The second album by NNF came amidst great turmoil. Shortly after getting off their first tour drummer Denny Owens chose to leave the band, which left the group short a drummer. Additionally the record label demanded a second album be produced very quickly and with a more pop approach to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible. With label mandated producer Joel Peltz in tow the now trio went into the studio to record their second album. Andrew filled in on drums where he could and all three members contributed bits and pieces of music and lyrics made while on the road but overall they were feeling stretched thin. Thankfully relief came in the form of drummer Chris Peltz (son of Joel) who was more than capable on the drum kit and added another singing voice that blended nicely with Greg’s. Additionally Chris proved himself a capable songwriter and meshed well with the other members of the band. Rejuvenated the band quickly finished the album and went back out on the road, once again ready conquer the world one show at a time.
