Band: False Reality
From: London, UK


Their formation story:
(Rachel Rigby, vocals): "We’ve known each other for years through going to shows, and it just felt right when we decided to start up a project together as we’ve all got different tastes in music so it has helped define a new sound for us. Couldn’t be doing it with better people."

Their sound in their own words:
"We are definitely a hardcore band at heart but we have pulled influences from punk, metal, thrash, new wave, and shoegaze which you can hear within our sound. If you like old Metallica, Trapped Under Ice or even old Sepultura, then hopefully you’ll like one of our songs."

Latest release info:
"This release is a true expression of who we are and what inspires us musically and the messages within the songs. It deals with being underestimated, under valued and feeling unheard which I think everyone can relate to at some point in their life."

Future plans:
"Our band was always created to be able to play shows with our friends and have a good time but it’s become something so much more to us since, and has given us something we are all very passionate about.

"We’re taking it one day at a time but we feel extremely excited about our future as a band and that we get to do this together."

What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Graven Image, NIX, Dynamite."

The Path of Self Destruct is available on cassette via Burning Water. Hit the False Reality Linktree to find all of their social media pages.
