Faker

Overview

There is nothing illegitimate or false about a band that sings about hurricanes and heart attacks. In fact, it makes them that much cooler.

And who makes natural disasters and cardiac arrests sound so rad? I'm talking about Faker, of course - the band that does a disappearing act every so often just so their comebacks and bigger and better than the last. The first such incident was way back in 1998 when they formed, and seven years later had a comeback with catchy-as-hell Hurricane. Once again, they would pull a runner on their fans, only to appear once again in 2007 with an attached hysteria that can only be described as ventricle imploding. This Heart Attack was everywhere, in our ears, on the TV and shoved down our throats, but oh how we loved them. It was after a whirlwind tour from 2007 ‘til early 2009 that Faker again said 'loljokes' to being a stable band, and shockingly went into hibernation once more. All the shenanigans aside, Faker are popping their head back into the music scene with their 3^rd album, ‘Get Loved’, soon to drop. But first – they have released a prequel EP 'How Did We Not Get Loved?' and it's advised you see them play before they no doubt do a mad dash out of The Zoo this Saturday.
