The spirited pop-punk band Faber Drive were originally known as Faber, but the name was
changed after the group signed to Universal's Republic imprint, due to unspecified worries over
potential copyright infringement claims. (It's unclear whether they were worried more about
the American pencil manufacturer or the British publishing house.) The band comes by the
name honestly, however, through singer, songwriter, guitarist, and overall bandleader Dave
Faber. Living in the semi-rural Vancouver bedroom community of Mission, Faber supplemented
his income by working as a private music teacher, giving guitar and drum lessons. After three
years of instruction, Faber formed a band with one of his first drum students, Ray "red" Bull, in
2004. Adding lead guitarist David Hinsley and bassist Jeremy "krikkit" Liddle to complete the
lineup, Faber's demo tape caught the attention of Nickelback producer Joey Moi and his
creative partner, Brian Howes, who -- much as he had for the Oklahoma City dude-rockers
Hinder -- started co-writing with Faber the songs that would eventually make up the band's
debut album. The Nickelback and Hinder connections also garnered the nascent band a
contract with Hinder's manager, Kevin Zaruk, and opening slots on some of Nickelback's
Canadian tour dates, as well as an eventual deal with those bands' label. Produced by Moi and
Howes, Faber Drive's debut album, Seven Second Surgery, was released in the spring of 2007.
