Not In The Face made their first appearances (in 2009) as a two piece outfit playing around the local Austin Texas music scene. Less as a career choice and more for kicks. A creative outlet for two friends to have some fun and experiment with different sounds.

Since then, the band has put on a more serious face while keeping with the same intent: to rock the fuck out and have a good time! In 2012, a new member was added to round out the "Loud, sweaty as fuck" straight up rock and roll sound. The now three piece band featuring Jonathan Terrell on guitar and lead vocals, Wes Cargal on the drums and Michael Anthony Gibson on lead guitar are building quite the resume:

- 7 successful, major market US tours

- 4 major festivals, including multiple official SXSW showcases and a main stage appearance at Fun Fun Fun Fest

- Concerts with the likes of ZZ Top, X, Guitar Wolf, Black Lips, Reverend Horton Heat, David Allan Coe and many more...

- Numerous sold out shows at venues of 500+ capacity

- "Bikini" as a "Top Ten album of 2011" (KUT radio)
