The Blue Faces formed in the midst of early-'90s corporate grunge, and neglected the fray of the genre itself. Composed of frontman Ryan A. Ray, guitarist Roger Ramos, keyboardist Todd Mitten, and a drum machine, the Blue Faces ignited their own brand of synth-powered rock thanks to influences such as Peter Murphy, Japan, Dif Fuz, and Pink Floyd. Their debut In the Days of the Lightbulb on the Wall was issued on Vagrant Records in 1995. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
