Last spring i went to Gilead music festival in Oshkosh WI with some friends from Chicago. It was the most worthwhile fest i've EVER been to, but there was a serious shortage of non-dudes. Day two of the fest brought tons of awesome bands i was totally stoked to see but not a single non-male performer. i was sulking outside about it when my friend Justin came out to get me... "You might want to see the band that's setting up now." Holy shit. i'm glad that i did. False is from Minneapolis MN and their stage presence would be noteworthy enough on its own, their vocalist is witchy, dark, has a wonderfully emotional and spooky voice and seemed to be making eye contact with everyone in the crowd at the same time - a natural performer, one of those bands you've got to see live.
Besides ruling on stage, their 12 minute recorded "the key to passive suffering" is my soundtrack to re-charging crystals or hexing that guy that was an asshole on the bus. By far the best band i saw that weekend or have seen in a long time. i can't tell you how hard they rule. Bryan Funck of Thou is on board co-releasing them on his own label and this August they released a split with Barghest “Heavy As A Church Tower.” Check out their "untitled" release which i humbly prefer and find out how sick they are for yourself here.
i'm excited to see what this band will do. Thank you False!
