The reboot, the band 2.0 (or in this bands case 3.0), the time when the band not only changes lead singers but also their musical identity. Genesis, Petra, newsboys (twice), all bands who changed things up and still succeeded in remaining relevant and in some cases superseding the popularity of their previous incarnations. Let’s see what happens with our fictional band as they go through a similar metamorphosis. Starting Over Shortly after the tour for "Love" had abruptly ended due to interpersonal conflict No Name Face imploded. The dream was dead and the members quietly went their separate ways. However four years later Andrew Webber got an idea, why not restart the band? His voice was in no shape to sing but this wouldn't be the first time the band had switched lead singers, and last time it led more success than they had ever dreamed.
A quick call to George Packard later and the two were on the hunt for a new lead singer. Soon they found independent artist Nathan Turner who could seemingly make his voice mimic any era of the band and went into the studio with longtime friend David Moon for a test run of sorts (Alex Gramm and Chris Peltz both declined the invitation to join them). The results were 8 re-recordings from throughout their catalog and two new tracks that everyone agreed felt appropriate for the new iteration of the band. Now all that was left to find out was if they could still put on a show, and if they still had a fan base willing to show up.
