Don't Turn Away is the first album by the American punk rock band Face to Face. [4] It was released in 1992 under the label Dr. Strange Records, and was considered a strong debut for the band. It was re-released a year later on Fat Wreck Chords. [3]

Contents

Two years later, "Disconnected," the album's third track, was re-recorded for the band's second album Big Choice . Their then-label A&M Records wanted the band to re-record it, because no one could "hear a single" until the L.A. radio station KROQ first played it.

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "a stirring and exciting debut undercut only slightly by its overt stylistic debt to Hüsker Dü and Social Distortion." [5]
