– AATMA, MANCHESTER – In the hidden attic of a side alley in the Northern Quarter, roughly a hundred people are assembled on this Friday night for something fairly special. There may be no marquee outside with a band’s name in neon letters – hell, there isn’t even a sign outside saying the name of […]

FALSE ADVERTISING ANNOUNCE LIVE DATES AND ‘BRAINLESS’ EP

In September 2015, Manchester DIY trio False Advertising released their eponymous debut album.

The Manchester (via Oxford) grunge-influenced trio present ‘No Good’, the most recent slab of DIY fuzz from their acclaimed self-titled album.

LIVE: FALSE ADVERTISING – 19/09/2015

– ACADEMY 3, MANCHESTER – False Advertising are my favourite band in Manchester at the moment. This three piece took their time crafting their fuzzed up brand of grunge pop and got us all excited when they dropped their stunner of a debut single ‘Wasted Away’ back in March. Since then the band have only […]
Grunge is making a bit of a comeback isn’t it. False Advertising are leading the charge for Manchester, making waves locally with their satisfyingly sweet single ‘I Don’t Know’, with its twisting verse riff and power pop chorus. The thing is, it doesn’t turn up until about halfway through their self titled debut album. It […]

FALSE ADVERTISING ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM AND HOMETOWN LIVE DATES

At False Advertising’s core runs an integral songwriting relationship between vocalists Jen Hingley and Chris Warr that sparks the band’s creativity and surges their will power. Friends for years, the pair bonded through playing separately, then together on Manchester’s open mic circuit. Jen found her songwriting confidence in mid 2013, which marked the start of […]
– VARIOUS VENUES, MANCHESTER – It’s just turned half 6 and already the evening is off to a bad start. I’m at The Roadhouse, the first stop on a long night of festivities for Dot To Dot Festival, and I’m reluctantly paying £4.50 for a pint. To make matters worse, before I can even take […]
