Looks like The Faint’s decision to go independent has turned out fairly well. After leaving the tired and true Saddle Creek Records to start its own label back in May, the Omaha outfit has released Fasciinatiion, the band’s fifth full-length album, to much acclaim and captivated concert goers around North America with electric enhanced live performances.

Attempting to put an exclamation point on all this success, The Faint recently announced another leg of North American tour dates, which will kick off in mid-October. In celebration of the tour, album, and everything else about the former skateboarders, Consequence of Sound has a brand new prize pack to give away to all you “Faintantics”…

…or for anyone who is in the market for a new handbag. One random CoS reader will receive:

• One embroided Dakine Station street-shoulder bag
• One Faint t-shirt
• One copy of Fasciinatiion

If interested, shoot us an email with your name and contact information. U.S. participants only please. A winner will be selected on Thursday.
