False Head’s mean business, with their no-nonsense brand of politically charged punk-rock is perfectly paired with a love of huge riffs which has already attached the attention of legends such as Iggy Pop”. The scuzzed up, alt-rock 3-piece travelled extensively to promote their highly-anticipated ‘Less Is Better’ EP and now they’re back with an onslaught of activity. After sharing a stage with the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age and David Byrne, as well as picking up support and plays from BBC Radio 1 and Huw Stephens, they’ve been setting themselves up for even more domination, as they crash into 2019 with one of their most explosive tracks to date.
Their messages and views go hand-in-hand with the gnarly chaotic sound of Luke Griffiths’ pick-axe-to-the-ear riffs and raw growling vocals, Jake Elliot’s psychedelic-infused rumbling basslines and Barney Nash’s explosive powerhouse drumming.
Bringing their ferocity and energy in true False Heads style, ‘Slease’ ticks every single box in the world of post-punk rock. Raspy screams, a grinding bass hook, battering beats and a whole array of feedbacking, whiney, grunge guitar riffs that will have the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end from the get-go. The eerie foundations of the record are harnessed by the ever-anthemic chorus that features delicate underlying ‘ooo’s’ from Barney Nash, as well as a call and response that you just can’t help but sing along to. Fusing a frenzy of noise with gentle, intricate melodies is just one of the many aspects of False Heads’ signature sound, not to mention their ability to build up an entire song into a devastating, explosive racket of a drop.
