"Additionally, Save Face is currently selling Merci on Bandcamp and donating all proceeds to The Trevor Project, a national 24-hour, toll free confidential suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth. The promotion will run throughout July 20 and Epitaph will match the amount earned."

Merci is a concept album about perspective and the objectivity derived from a narrative dealing with an addict dealing with post-rehab relationship struggles and an eventual paranoia-fueled meltdown. Partly inspired by the theatricality of such bands as Queen, Merci is driven by a dramatic tension that reflects Save Face’s mission of making emotionally complex, multi-faceted art.

Save Face is vocalist/guitarist Tyler Povanda, whose bandmates include guitarist Phil McGarry, bassist Chris Aveta, and drummer Chris Flannery. Formed in 2012, Save Face released their debut EP Folly in 2016. Last November, the band delivered Folly: On The Rocks—a stripped-down, partly acoustic, more intimate rendition of that EP. With their remarkable work ethic, Save Face have played hundreds of shows per year, spending an impressive nine months on the road in 2017 (including a run with their labelmates The Menzingers). Save Face will hit the road and tour in support of Merci, beginning July 19 in Redding, CA.
