Stay Fresh Sessions: False Advertising
Watch a live video of Manchester-based grunge-pop trio False Advertising, filmed at Manchester's Low Four studio
"We've called ourselves grunge, we've called ourselves 'nice pop', we've called ourselves alternative... it's essentially the same thing."
So says Jen Hingley of False Advertising, the Manchester three-piece who've been making waves since they first began making noise together in 2013. Anyone familiar with these pages may have spotted a few descriptions of our own: "Juliana Hatfield backed by Dinosaur Jr," we said of their debut single Wasted Away. "A serious and compelling proposition," we said of their self-titled (and thus far only) album. "A fiery and cerebral reworking of classic US alt-pop," we said after yet another stellar live performance.
In short, we've found lots to recommend about the three-piece, completed by Chris Warr and Josh Sellers, but ultimately it's not just about words: the best way to get to know False Advertising is to experience them for yourself. Watch a specially-recorded live performance in the player above, and look out for the band's forthcoming live performances.
