He is a former member of the gothic bands Rozz Williams' Christian Death, Shadow Project, Faith and the Muse, Mephisto Walz and briefly as support for Sex Gang Children during a one off performance in 1993 at The Roxy Theatre. Faith was originally a member of the goth-punk band Wreckage (where he was known as Bill E. Bones). He is currently a member of anarcho-punk collective Anima Mundi, as well as guitarist for English anarcho-punk stalwarts Conflict.
