False Heads are an East London/Essex three-piece (Luke Griffiths, Jake Elliott, Barney Nash) whose work pairs punk immediacy with hook-driven rock. Their debut album It’s All There But You’re Dreaming (2020) introduced them with a set of aggressive riffs and blunt, working class lyricism that made the record feel like a direct response to contemporary life.

Subsequent releases have kept that urgency while sharpening the band’s melodic focus.

the tracks are written to hit live, and that live-first mentality is what gives their songs repeat value beyond a single listen.
