On May 8, Epitaph Records will release the self-titled debut of Fake Names.
The band was formed when childhood friends Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion) and Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace, One Last Wish) met up in 2016 to "play music together, with no intentions beyond possibly writing a song or two." The project escalted. Baker recruited another old classmate, Johnny Temple (Girls Against Boys, Soulside) on bass. They later recruited Refused's Dennis Lyxzén for vocals.
The lead single, a singalong punk charger called "Brick" is embedded below.
