Faber Drive

Faber Drive is a Canadian pop-punk band formed in 2004 in Mission, British Columbia. The band is fronted by lead vocalist David Faber Vertesi (known as Dave Faber), alongside lead guitarist Jordan Pritchett, bassist Jeremy «Krikit» Liddle and drummer Seamus O'Neill, and became known for polished, hook-driven pop-punk with strong radio-friendly melodies.

The band rose to prominence in the Canadian pop-punk and power-pop scene during the mid-to-late 2000s, earning a Juno Award nomination and building a following with catchy, upbeat singles such as «Tongue Tied», «When I'm With You» and «Candy Store». Their sound blended crunchy guitar riffs with sugary vocal hooks, sitting comfortably alongside acts like Simple Plan and Marianas Trench in the Canadian pop-rock landscape of the era.

Faber Drive's appeal lay in their consistency — energetic, feel-good songwriting aimed squarely at a young, mainstream audience, with tracks like «Chocolate Milk» and «All I Want» reinforcing their reputation as reliable hitmakers within Canada's pop-punk boom.
