“They are young and talented and going places…if they came to my town I’d show up for that, if they come to your town you might wanna show up.” – Iggy Pop
Essex post-punk trio False Heads have announced the release of their second album ‘Sick Moon’, arriving on 30th September 2022 via Manchester-based Label Scruff Of The Neck.
Produced by Frank Turner at his home studio, the new LP marks another massive milestone in the band’s career and nods towards new music being imminent. Speaking about ‘Sick Moon’, the band’s first release with Scruff Of The Neck, frontman Luke Griffiths says, “The album is just a pure expression of everything I’ve felt and feel. It’s pure rage, isolation and alienation, yet also sarcastic and hopefully sprinkled with a bit of humour.”
“It’s also about how often the external world seems to parallel and affect your internal struggle. I get trapped into a cycle of apathy and suffocation with the idea of eternalism and eternal recurrence, maybe we have no free will and maybe we do all of this again and again, forever.”
False Heads have taken the UK by storm in recent years, forming in 2015 and eventually catching the attention of key industry figures. With an incendiary live reputation like theirs, it should come as no surprise that the band have also earned the praise of multiple renowned radio stations and hosts. The iconic Iggy Pop and Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music), John Kennedy (Radio X) and Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1) have all supported the band within the UK, with Planet Rock and Radio X playlisting them as well. Internationally, the likes of KINK (NL), Sirius XM (US) and RTE2 (IE) have also given False Heads airtime. Their single ‘Rabbit Hole’ has been streamed over a million times alone on Spotify and their recent album ‘It’s All There but You’re Dreaming’ nearly 4 million times across all platforms.
On the live front the Essex outfit have played with the likes of The Libertines, Josh Homme and Band of Skulls. False Heads Are:Luke Griffiths – guitar/vocalsJake Elliot – bassBarney Nash – drums Live Dates
