sup? we have made countless trips down to the great city of gainesville, but this will be our very first Fest appearance! we're stoked to play and see a ton of our friends from all around the world in one place! we're gonna use this space to self promote, because theres no shame in it and its what we do best. besides, some other dudes wrote all the nice things, not us.


"The Fake Boys have taken the best of what punk rock, and everything that followed it, has offered over the past 40 years and seamlessly and flawlessly mixed it together to create a sound that is all their own while entirely familiar all at the same time. This band should appeal to fans of just about every sub-genre the lives under the “alternative” umbrella (with the possible exception of fans of the electronic stuff). Kids who grew up on Jimmy Eat World and The All-American Rejects and their parents who got to see Black Flag and The Replacements back in the ‘80s should all love Pig Factory. This is easily one of the best albums of 2012 and if there was any justice in the world, this record and band would be huge."

"Cutting their teeth playing in hardcore bands, their musical chops are apparent. However, the band takes influences from a wide array of sources. They are just as likely to give a nod to Poison Idea and Husker Du as they are to Nirvana and Superdrag. This concoction creates something that is both fresh and new. The songs can be melodic and accessible, but just underneath the surface is a thoughtful and layered approach to the punk/rock genre. Since their inception in 2007, the trio has been bringing their brand of loud, warm, fuzzed-out music across the entire United States and throughout Europe on a regular basis. They've released 2 LPs and numerous splits in their short 4 year career, and The Fake Boys show little inclination to slow down their pace. Their newest EP on Kiss of Death Records is filled with interesting melodies and killer riffage."

Someone told me there is also a shitty band called Fake Boys, I think from Orlando. Glad the right one is playing Fest.

Love the new record, we should do a whole tour or some shows on our way down to the Fest!

i would love that. we're gonna be in europe before Fest. we had to cut that tour short in order to be home to play. we gave ourselves like 4 days after we fly home to make it down to FL...do you guys already have something planned? i think we might have one or two shows on the way down in the works.

oh, and i jam your 7inch daily when home. like buttah.

THE REAL FAKE BOYS. i didn't know of this other band, i can't find them anywhere on the internet. i wanna put out a split with them.

We may be doing a tour down with After The Fall and Anchors, seems like it's good to go, but we are not 100%, would love to play with you guys,

Send us the dates and cities man when you got em, maybe we can hop on one or two if no one cares

I will let you Fake boys know when I do!
