Fairmont (band)

Fairmont is an indie rock band based in northern New Jersey. The band is fronted by longtime indie/punk music veteran Neil Sabatino. They have done several US tours and released eight full-length albums as well as six EPs.

History

Early years

After leaving Pencey Prep, Sabatino signed with Reinforcement Records in 2001 under the moniker Fairmont, initially an acoustic project he compared to Dashboard Confessional. The debut sixteen track album Pretending Greatness Is Awaiting was released on 3 December 2001. Work on the second album Anomie was delayed in March 2003 as three of the members quit the night before recording began. Soon after former Pencey Prep bassist John McGuire joined Fairmont, as well as guitarist Kevin Metz. During that year Fairmont performed locally, at Manhattan's Arlene's Grocery with groups like Fighting Gravity and Val Emmich, and by 2005 Fairmont had done three tours across the United States, again performing locally with Nada Surf and Ted Leo, among others. They also released their third full-length entitled Hell Is Other People, an album heavily influenced by McGuire's fondness of bands like The Replacements and Hüsker Dü. The content of the album was conceptually based on Jean Paul Sartre's play No Exit. It was released jointly by Reinforcement Records and Renfield Records.
