Fake names is back with a new 3-song EP, following the band's 2020 self-titled album. This time around the band sticks with the self-titled route again.
Guitarist/vocalist Brian Baker says:
“I love the EP format...So many of my favourite bands growing up (Damned, Clash, Black Flag to name a few) issued EPs between albums, and they were always special to me. They came in all shapes and sizes, and they were comprised of songs that were available nowhere else. Sometimes these records teased the style and sonics of a bands’ forthcoming full length, sometimes they were complete departures that sounded like different bands entirely! In all cases they were records that made me feel closer to the bands, giving me a window into what was coming next or what they did when no one was looking. The ‘Fake Names EP’ was recorded in this spirit.
In addition to Baker (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion), the group also features Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace, One Last Wish), Dennis Lyxzén (Refused, International Noise Conspiracy, INVSN), and Johnny Temple (Girls Against Boys, Soulside), plus guest drummer Brendan Canty (Rites of Spring, Fugazi) on this set of songs.
The EP is available now via Epitaph Records.
