Amy Faithe is the soaring, emotional, and poetic singer, and Mike Araiza is the masterful guitarist for The FA. The FA is a genre-bending alternative rock band out of New Mexico, and they are turning heads with their own brand of energetic rock songs. Their current single is called “Devour,” and it is continuing a rise up the charts.
In this interview, Amy and Mike discuss the writing of “Devour” as well as their other songs. They also talk about a possible full-length album, how their different musical backgrounds collided, and the significance of the triangle that appears on so much of their album art.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
