The Life You're Faking, coreleased by FDR with Michigan based label Jam Records, finds the longstanding NJ garage rock/power pop band, Dipsomaniacs, at their finest. The Life You're Faking captures the group's frenetic garage rawness (think early Who/Replacements/Wilco) but also has a shimmering sonic punch that will bring to mind bands like Semisonic, Teenage Fanclub, and Foofighters. The tunes are melodic as hell, well written, and simply rock.
John Swenson, in a United Press International article declared, "Mick Chorba, the band's singer/guitarist and main songwriter, has come up with several instant classics on the new album, particularly the surf fantasy 'Everyday,' which may be one of the most perfectly-crafted guitar rock songs ever written... the Dipsomaniacs are a truly great rock band..." (UPI 1/16/02)
The Boston Herald gave the disc 8 of ten points (10/12/01). Goldmine magazine pronounced the album "an excellent effort" and a "rollickin' good time" (5/31/02). Top-notch songwriting along with outstanding performances from a solid, no-frills, gritty rock band make The Life You're Faking a truly unique, exciting and just plain fun experience for any music fan who loves rawk n roll.

I never heard of the Dipsomaniacs before listening to their audio streams and deciding to order this CD. WOW!!!! These guys are awesome! I can't believe this CD didn't get them a major record label deal. It's painful to think we could be listening to songs like this on the radio and instead are fed the crap we are. I've beel listening to this and their previous CD "Undertow" for the past week and a half almost constantly. Give them a shot and you'll be glad you did!
