"A band tipped for the top from Manchester" - Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music / BBC Introducing) "You’ll find Faitala delivering their sickly sweet pop in simply brilliant fashion.

It’s the type of music that can take 10 years off you, reminiscent of a time when The Temper Trap, Yeasayer and Miike Snow dominated our airwaves."
- Getintothis

Manchester-based FAITALA released their debut EP on Tiny Records, November 2016.

FAITALA is the project of New-Zealand born David Faitala. As a three-piece, they were invited to play a live session on Marc Riley's BBC 6 show after he saw the band play locally at one of their early live shows.

The infectious pop of the just released 'Plush' from that three song session was subsequently picked up and played extensively by fellow DJs Tom Robinson on his Music Introducing Mixtape, Gideon Coe, and XFM's John Kennedy.

Their debut single release "Beasts" came backed by a great remix by Dutch Uncles and has received support from:
- Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1 / BBC Introducing),
- Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music / BBC Introducing),
- Michelle Hussey (BBC Introducing Manchester),
- Shell Zenner (Amazing Radio).
