FAKE FIGURES
FAKE FIGURES hails from Southern California and features members of notable bands such as Atreyu, Hotwire and Scars of Tomorrow. The band formed In 2011 with the common interest of making music that blends elements of metal, alternative and punk while keeping an undertone of music from the late 90's. In December of 2011 the band released their first EP Hail The Sycophants which received critical praise and garnered key press from sources including MTV Buzzworthy, Revolver, Alternative Press, Punknews and more.
In 2013 the band entered the studio with Saosin guitarist and producer Beau Burchell to carefully craft their new EP "They Must Be Destroyed". This marks the band's studio debut of drummer Steve Ludwig (Nations Afire) and writing contribution from guitarist Heather Baker. "TMBD" is a slight departure from the experimental sound the first EP; writing punk/hardcore/alternative tracks that took nearly 6 months for the band to pen, record and mix.
For 2019 the band has signed to War Against Records (Pressure Cracks etc) and worked on new music with producer Kris Comeaux (Assuming We Survive). "Hole In the Sky" was released earlier this year and has been covered by media including Loudwire, AltPress, Spotify (Rock This), BBC1 Radio, 92.9 KJEE, Big Takeover, Rebel Noise and many others. The band's latest single "You're Distant" will be included on their newly announced EP 'We are the Dead', which is set for a 11/15 release on vinyl/digital, and features guest vocals from Jonah Matranga (FAR, Onelinedrawing).
