Helen (feat. members of Grouper, Eternal Tapestry) Announce Debut LP, “The Original Faces”‏

  Helen is a pop group from Oregon. Liz Harris (vocals/lead guitar), Jed Bindeman (drums/tambourine), Scott Simmons (bass/guitar), and Helen (back up vocals).

  Originally started with the intention of being a thrash band, it turned into something else entirely. The Original Faceswas recorded over a period of several years in Portland by the band members, their friends Nick, Chris and, largely, Justin Higgins. The record was written together, with some songs based on Liz and Scottʼs demos.
