The London-based punk-rockers serve up their next offering with excess fire-power that encapsulates the thesis of the band’s sound. Sending out their stance on socialism, the use of social media and their political values, ‘Yellow’ demonstrates the true values of Luke Griffiths, Jake Elliot and Barney Nash, and once you hear them, they’re impossible to forget. Now with a premiere on John Kennedy’s Radio X show under their belts, as well as support from Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio, ‘Yellow’ is already making its way around the circuit nicely.
The snarly vocals of ‘Yellow’ echo the fuzzy distorted guitar work, delivered with venom in a fearless manner of commitment. Keeping you on your toes from start to finish, the tempo changes and different rhythm arrangements jump in out of nowhere, allowing the passionate chorus to shine through, it all adds up to pack one hell of a punch. Accompany that with a head-nodding bridge riff and there is literally no escape from letting this track engross you. Crunching, heavy-weight and emotion-filled performances from each band member result in some of the most honest music you’ll have heard this year. Lead singer and guitarist Luke Griffiths added:
“Like the rest of the EP, ‘Yellow’ was written in our container where we rehearse, a storage container we rent out and pretty much everything comes out of there. We bring riffs and melodies from home and put them in a melting pot. We had the verses and choruses really contrasting and just wanted a big, almost metal beatdown in the middle to come out of nowhere. The lyrics were influenced from a Christopher Hitchens story - I wanted to discuss my views on the impact of religion on society, and the consequences of playing ignorance to reality - “the less I know…”
A perfect set up to introduce their forthcoming EP, which is scheduled for digital release on the 21st September. Three other tracks are set to accompany ‘Yellow,’ as well as a lengthy tour of the UK and Europe, which will allow them to demonstrate that they are “one of the best live bands in the world” (as ex-Ramones manager Danny Fields would put it).
In just 2 years, False Heads’ thunderous rise into the limelight has resulted in plays on BBC Radio 1, as well as recording a live session on Radio X. They’ve played alongside The Libertines, Band of Skulls and Frank Turner. Iggy Pop hasn’t shied away from supporting them on his BBC 6 Music programme either. The US is even falling for the band, with Rodney Bingenheimer playing their tracks on his Sirius XM show. They’ve only just scratched the surface on festival performances by totting up Reading, Tramlines, Y Not and the Isle of Wight already, and have even shared the mainstage of INmusic Festival with Queens of the Stone Age.
There’s a reason why the Independent have them on their ‘list of bands to watch in 2018,’ and it’s clear to see that they are a force to be reckoned with. False Heads have only just begun.

Comments and support:
“Rocking and hooking, if they were in my town I’d show up for that – 8.5/1.0” – Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 6 Music
“Absolutely Fantastic.” – John Kennedy, Radio X
“The snarly and biting vocals of Yellow echo the fuzzy guitars, there is no doubt a lot is being juggled here, the tempo changes and different rhythm arrangements jump in and on the distorted guitar work all delivered with venom in a fearless but committed manner. This trait has become an established characteristic in False Heads' music, it is a much appreciated and admired one.” – It’s All Indie
“False Heads are back, with bigger balls, bare-chested, and ready to fight their way into your lugholes. Yellow, the lead single from their forthcoming EP ‘Less is Better’ is a bit of a monster, shapeshifting through the realms of playful poppy alt-rock to the darkest reaches of psych and grunge.” – Reyt Good Music
“Far from touting controversy however, the trio have just stuck to their guns, refused to compromise on their politics, and as a result, are one of the few bands currently keeping the original spirit of punk alive, while dragging it kicking and screaming in to the present day.” – Louder Than War
Radio plays include: Radio X, Absolute Radio, Amazing Radio, Kerrang! Radio, BBC 6 Music, BBC introducing Essex.
‘Yellow’ has also been included in Apple Music’s ‘US Breaking Rock’ playlist, as well as ‘New Punk Tracks’ on Spotify.
