With Dennis Lyxzén (Refused), Brian Baker (Bad Religion, Minor Threat), and other seasoned figures from the punk and hardcore scenes, Fake Names bring a wealth of genre history together under one roof. Until now, the band have mostly been a studio project. With “Punk Ruins” and the subsequent tour, Fake Names are now taking the step onto European stages — something truly new for fans of angular, melodic post-hardcore.
