Hailing from the outskirts of East London and Essex, FALSE HEADS formed in 2016, rising from the ashes of previous bands. Behind the energy of their live shows, the trio quickly thrust themselves into punk-rock limelight, catching the attention of Punk’n’Roll legend Iggy Pop, ex Ramones manager Danny Fields and music tastemaker Rodney Bingenheimer.
Having quickly graduated from playing half empty rooms in London and across the South, to supporting The Libertines, Josh Homme & Band Of Skulls, the band just returned from their headline UK and European tour culminating in a packed out headline and single launch at Dingwalls.
New single ‘Retina’ combines jagged riffs, a hum-along chorus with a ballistic crescendo bold enough to announce their intentions from a low earth orbit. ‘Retina’ was produced by Jonathan Hacks at Grand Cru studios, Pete Townsend’s converted barge moored on The Thames, London.
FALSE HEADS are Barney Nash (Vocals & Drums), Luke Griffiths (Vocals & Guitar) and Jake Elliott (Bass).
‘Retina’ follows their previous releases ‘Twentynothing’, ‘Weigh In’, ‘Thick Skin’ and ‘Steal And Cheat’.
Airplay includes Huw Stephens, Ollie Winiberg, BBC Radio 1; Iggy Pop, Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music; Gary Crowley, BBC Introducing London; Ollie Winiberg, BBC Introducing Essex; Melita Dennett, BBC Introducing South; John Kennedy, Gordon Smart - This Feeling Track Of The Week, Radio X; Johnny Doom, Evening Playlisting, Kerrang! Radio, Charlie Ashcroft, Amazing Radio; The Rodney Bingenheimer Show, Sirius XM.
