False Heads - debut Album coming soon
I've been following this band since early 2016 (I cant remember exactly). I've watched them grow and improve and I've been lucky enough to see them live a few times and they are really exciting to watch.
Anyway, their debut Album is ready and due for release on 13th March 2020 and they'll be touring as well.
Please do yourself a favour and go and see them live, they're brilliant. Their music is excellent. Indie, grunge, modern punk rock. Tuneful and catchy.
False Heads are an east London-based three piece rock/punk band consisting of Luke Griffiths (Vocals/Guitar), Jake Elliott (Bass) and Barney Nash (Drums/Vocals).
They already have 5 releases under their belts in various formats -
2014 Tunnel Vision CD EP
2015 Wear & Tear CDr, EP, Promo
2017 Gutter Press Vinyl, 12", EP
2018 Retina CDr, Single and Vinyl, 7", Single, Red
2018 Less Is Better Vinyl, 10", EP, Limited Edition, Red w/ Blue Splatter and CD
The new album is called It's All There But You're Dreaming and will be available on cd plus limited edition silver vinyl (500 vinyl copies only). You can pre order this (with gig tickets as well, from their Official site)
