Don't Turn Away is the first album by the American punk rock band Face to Face.[3] It was released in 1992 (see 1992 in music) 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.[2]

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."[4]
