Fake Names, a punk supergroup featuring Refused singer Dennis Lyxzén and Bad Religion / Minor Threat guitarist Brian Baker, will unleash their debut album this spring. In advance of the LP, the band has unveiled the single “Brick”.
The group, which is rounded out by guitarist Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace, One Last Wish) and bassist Johnny Temple (Girls Against Boys, Soulside), will release a self-titled LP on May 8th via Epitaph Records. The 28-minute, 10-song album was produced by Hampton and Geoff Sanoff, and recorded at Little Steven’s Renegade Studios in New York City.
The band actually played its first-ever gig in January 2019 in Brooklyn, New York. A little over a year later, Fake Names are unveiling their first single, “Brick”.
The track clocks in at under two minutes, featuring a bouncy punk riff and an anthemic chorus. Matt Schulz (Holy F**k), who performed with the band at the aforementioned Brooklyn gig, is credited with playing drums on “Brick”. However, no official permanent drummer for the band is listed in a press release announcing the album.
