Title: False Heads: The Rising Stars of British Punk Rock
False Heads is an enthralling punk rock trio from the East End of London that is swiftly making a name for themselves in the world of music. Since their inception, the band has created a distinct sound that features sublime melodies intertwined with raw, honest lyrics that reverberate with fans and critics alike.
Born in 2016, the False Heads were established when East London locals Luke Griffiths, Jake Elliott, and Barney Nash decided to merge their individual skills and shared affection for punk rock. Fuelled by their love for bands like Nirvana, Radiohead, and The Pixies, the trio sought to create a unique soundscape that captivates the listener.
Recognized for their unrelenting energy, vivid creativity, and the stunning dynamism on stage, the band's performances are a testament to their moniker, which stems from the Shakespeare quote, "There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face”. It resonates with their music that unveils the raw emotions hidden behind masked facades.
Their debut EP, “Gutter Press,” was launched in 2016 and was hailed for its energetic rebellion against a world polluted with fake news and politics. The band's streak of success continued with their acclaimed singles "Slease" and "Rabbit Hole", displaying their growth and maturity as artists, without forsaking their punk rock roots.
Acknowledged by industry icons such as Iggy Pop, who labelled them, "one of the best live bands in the world," and praised by the Godfather of punk, Ramones manager Danny Fields, False Heads' music resonates with the punk icons and a new generation of rock fans alike.
False Heads are not just performers; they are storytellers taking on everything from political events to personal experiences, backed by a gritty soundtrack. Lyricist and frontman Luke Griffiths is praised for his ability to spin stories that ring with authenticity and delivers them with an unmatched raw vocal power.
The band achieved a milestone when they were signed by 'These Bloody Thieves Records' in 2020. Despite the global pandemic, they released their debut album, 'It’s All There But You’re Dreaming,' to acclaim in 2020, marking a significant step in their carrier journey.
Currently, False Heads continue to push boundaries with their relentless punk-induced energy, soaring melodies and stirring lyrics that consistently serve to further their rapidly growing fan base.
The trio's rise in the music industry is undeniably meteoric, gaining recognition from industry heavyweights and featuring on major festivals like Reading and Leeds. With a steadily growing discography and a reputation for energetic live shows, False Heads have firmly established themselves as one of the UK's most exciting bands to watch.
