Description:
When Face To Face reunited in 2008 after a four-year hiatus, making a new album was the last thing on their mind. ''The idea was we would just get together to play some live shows, but after two years of doing that it developed into us writing new material,'' the band's frontman explains. Keith and longtime bassist Scott Shiflett started working on musical ideas before Face To Face headed out for a run on last year's Vans Warped Tour and quickly realized that they had tapped into something special.

When Face To Face reunited in 2008 after a four-year hiatus, making a new album was the last thing on their mind. ''The idea was we would just get together to play some live shows, but after two years of doing that it developed into us writing new material,'' the band's frontman explains. Keith and longtime bassist Scott Shiflett started working on musical ideas before Face To Face headed out for a run on last year's Vans Warped Tour and quickly realized that they had tapped into something special.
Laugh Now, Laugh Later was produced by Face To Face at The Bronx guitarist Joby Ford's personal studio. ''Joby's studio is basically a garage. It has a vibe to it that was totally perfect for these songs. We really needed the right environment to capture this energy,'' Keith explains, adding that Ford helped with some production decisions as well. The album was mixed by Joe Barresi, who has worked with everyone from Queens Of The Stone Age to Bad Religion.
Laugh Now, Laugh Later--which marks the return of guitarist Chad Yaro and also introduces new drummer Danny Thompson--sees Face To Face stripping-down their arrangements, creating a collection of raw-sounding songs that will both please existing fans and appeal to new ones. ''This year is our twentieth anniversary. It's tough making a new album because you have to straddle a fine line where you're pleasing fans of the old material while also trying to do something different,'' Keith explains. From instantly infectious ragers like ''What You Came For'' and ''Should Anything Go Wrong'' to radio-friendly rockers like ''Pushover'' and the band's first single ''It's Not All About You,'' Laugh Now, Laugh Later incorporates the best elements of Face To Face's musical identity while also marking a giant step forward for the act.
