Refused+BR+Embrace Supergroup 2020-04-10 by Masochist | 16 Comments | Guitarists Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion) and Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace, One Last Wish) have joined together with Refused frontman Dennis Lyxzén and bassist Johnny Temple (Girls Against Boys, Soulside) to form Fake Names, a hardcore punk supergroup in the vein of Dag Nasty and Strike Anywhere.
The band has released a music video for the song Brick on YouTube, and plans to release their full-length, self-titled debut on May 8th, 2020, via Epitaph Records. 28 minutes long, the album "augments their bare-bones breed of punk with a heavy dose of power-pop, cleanly manifested in the band’s bittersweet melodies and abundant backup harmonies," according to the Epitaph press release. Drums on the album are provided by Matt Schulz.
This feels like years of buildup to two phenomenal guitarists finally playing in a real band together,” says Temple. “It’s two lead guitar players who really know how to work together, with such an incredibly fluid meshing of their individual styles, and there’s never a moment where they’re competing over who’s playing the catchiest riff. I’ve never seen a hint of anything like that before.
You can listen to the the lead single Brick on Spotify, and watch the video below:

I enjoyed this but it’s definitely just the sum of its parts
| | |

instant thoughts: too produced
incidentally, dennis' best vocal performance since 98
shitty chorus

| | |
^^^ Definitely. I enjoyed it too, very DC Hardcore. Hoping that the album has a songs with a faster tempo, but I'm interested to hear more.
| | |
yeah, but it could have been done better.
| | |

I was expecting more than that I guess.
| | |
Oof, okay, this really sucked and I'm a huge fan of all these dudes
Sad
| | |
This sounds like a THPS song, and that's cool. It should probably be 30 seconds longer.
"wow this vid is cringe btw, see how dead the crowds are"
My thoughts exactly.

Sounds better than the last two Refused albums but man how do you bring in dudes whohave worked with Dag Nasty, Embrace, One Last Wish, and Girls Against Boys and make your song ths boring.
And yeah hilarious how dead the crowd is. Not even they could lap this up.
