Q: When will the new record be out and who is going to release it?
A: Our new record 'In The Dark' will be released october 6th 2008 on Excelsior recordings in The Netherlands and Belgium. Labels interested in licensing the record for other countries; get in touch!
Q: Where did you get the name Face Tomorrow from?
A: We started out back in 1997 as an oldschool hardcore band in the vein of bands like Mouthpiece, Chain of Strength etc. Face Tomorrow is a song (and a record) by Mouthpiece and we chose it because of the positivity in it. Over the years our music has changed drastically, but we never changed the name. It's a wink at our past, at what we're coming from. Plus that positivity is still there...
Q: I love your band and I really want to help you guys out!
A: Cool! why don't you join our streetteam? It's on the right side of this page ;)
Q: Why does it take so long for you to answer my mail?
A: Because we're busy!! Really really busy. So, sorry if there's some delay, but please bare with us, if necesarry, we will reply as soon as possible. Maybe check out the rest of the FAQ before you mail, maybe some of the questions are already answered in here...
Q: I want to check you guys out live! Where are you playing?
A: Usually you can check out the homepage of our site. There's the most up-to-date list of shows we're playing. As soon as a show is confirmed it's in that list. Every now and then we'll play some low profile shows and only announce those on our messageboard... Well, you can also sign up to our mailinglist and every now and then we'll keep you up to date on where and when we'll be playing. For details on a show (time, price etc), click the name of the venue on the showlist, you'll be taken to their site. Please don't contact us, but the venue / organiser for information on times, prices, ticket info, other bands etc. If there's no link on our site, I'm sure you can find it at www.google.com
Q: Who took all the photos on this site?
A: Except for the 'In The Dark' studioreport photos (taken by Marc) all b/w photos were taken by a very talented dutch photographer called Daniel Baggerman. Please check out his work and tell him he's great!
Q: Why do you never do an encore??
A: Although we really love to rock, we pretty much despise most of the ingredients of a 'mainstream' rock show. We will not ask people in the crowd to clap their hands, we will not call them 'fans', we want to be sincere and respect the audience. Of course we love it immensely if the crowd participates in the show, because your input is just as important as ours. But each one of you is an intelligent living being with a mind of his own, who does not need to be told what to do. And so; what we want to do is just give you our best, we'll play what we think are our best songs and we will put everything we have in that. We do not hold anything back for a possible encore because we want to give you a 100% Face Tomorrow at once. You do not need to cheer for that, you already paid for it! ;)
Q: Any other bands you guys are/were involved in?
A: Besides Face Tomorrow, Marc also plays guitar in a garagerock band called The Quotes. Sjoerd used to play in Dead By Dawn, and now plays in Viberider and in Simon (with Tijs). Aart's in a hardcore band called Dead End Pact (with Marc), used to play with Malkovich and also recorded the guitars on an album by a band called The Hot Stewards.

Q: I'd like to order some merchandise, how do I pay?
A: Just visit our webstore, check out and choose your method of payment. You'll get detailed information on how to complete your order. When you order stuff you'll always have to pay upfront. You can pay with Paypal, by transfering the money or by sending well-hidden cash. (The last one is at your own risk...)
Q: Why isn't your CD in the stores???
A: Sadly, not every store has it in stock, BUT every store is able to order it and have it within a couple of days, so if you can't find it immediatelely, just ask the guys behind the counter to order the cd for you. Maybe this information will help; Our cd's are distributed by Bertus (Benelux), Shellshock (U.K. & Ireland), Overcome (France), Century Media (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Green Hell (Germany), Soundpollution (Scandinavia), Sell Our Souls Records (Spain), Lumberjack (North America) and various others. And you can also of course order the CD, shirts and stuff directly from our website, just check the webstore.
Q: I've ordered a shirt last week, but I still haven't received it, whatsup? You guys are fucking me over!!
A: Sorry, about that, but there's several reasons; first of all, as much as we'd like to, we can't do magic... It can take up to a couple of weeks before we receive your payment. (depending on what kind of transaction etc you made) As soon as I received the payment I'll make a package with your order. But sometimes certain items are temporarily out of stock and I have to wait for them to arrive. Then, I have to bring all the packages to the postoffice, which I most of the time do once a week. Then, the postman has to get the package to you. So before you know it, a month or more has passed. This doesn't mean we're on the Bahama's boozing on your money, just trust us.
Q: I've transfered you money for something I ordered in the webstore, did you receive it?
A: If it's debited correctly from your account, don't worry, we received it or will get a notification of receiving it really soon. Your order will be processed as soon as possible! (See the previous question)
Q: Hi, I'm from *fill in a country* and I'm poor. Send me your CD!
A: No, sorry, we're poor too. At first we occasionally send some free CD's out to people. But we just can't do that anymore. (we get several of these requests a week) We're sorry we can't help you, as much as we would like music to be free, all the postage is way too expensive and we have to pay for each CD ourselves as well...

Q: Who does your bookings and management?
A: We do most of the business side of music ourselves. For the first eight years of Face Tomorrow we did our own bookings throughout Europe. Over the years it's become more and more busy for us so we've decided to work together with a few agencies. At the moment we're booked by Agents after All in the Netherlands and by L&S agency in Belgium. In all other territories we still do the bookings ourselves. Check out the contacts on the right to get in touch.
Q: Do you want to play at my festival/venue/backgarden etc. and how much would that cost?
A: Probably... Just send a mail to the appropriate address and please be specific! What kind of show is it, who's playing, where is it, what's the entrance fee etc. So, for all bookings in Holland, please contact Agents after All, for all bookings in Belgium L&S Agency.
Q: Do you want to play in support of charity X?
A: Thanks for asking, but for all booking information; please contact the appropriate booking agent. (Check out the contact section on the right for addresses) Face Tomorrow loves to support charities which they feel strongly about. But (sadly) we're not able to be a philanthropic institution. So, we're forced to pick a number of charities we want to support. And every now and then we'll raise a benefit show, donate some money or just spread the word through posters, leaflets etc at our merch stand. Please realise we (probably) love the work you are doing and hope you will succeed in reaching your goals.
Q: I want you guys to come and play in my town!
A: Yeah, we love that question! Thanks! We would really like play in your town as well, so maybe you could help us out. Go to your local venue and tell their booker to book us!
