Facing New York started playing at Ancestry, a college bar. The bassist was encouraged to play by his father. The bassist used to annoy his grandfather by playing his favorite cassette tape constantly. Facing New York began playing together in 1981. The group asked the local radio station to play their single.

Facing New York’s first release rose quickly in the charts, giving them the national recognition they always wanted. The group took any show they could get before they were signed.

The group may have just completed their newest release, but they are already thinking of their next move. Facing New York's latest album is the group's first since the group members went to work on independent projects six years ago.

Critics have generally commended Facing New York for their ability to energize the audience when they perform live. Isiah Lambert, a music critic from Baltimore, has always commented on group’s immensely talented drummer. Facing New York’s latest record is the group’s best received project yet.
