About this Event

Heavy Pop presents: False Advertising + FILTH



Entry 8pm // Free Entry. // Ages 18+ (Bring ID)



False Advertising



Born out of a desire to prove what is so vital about raw, energetic live music. Manchester based FALSE ADVERTISING address modern discontent in their music, fusing sweetly snarling hooks with a cathartic hit of fuzz guitar.



Musically, the trio carry echoes of underground ‘90s

alternative grunge. Over time developing as much of a name for

themselves as “the ultimate DIY band” catching the attention of

NME who recently featured them in their print edition as one of

the UK's leading unsigned acts and catapulting them to Texas’s

SXSW festival where they were chosen for DIY’s much sought

after British Music Embassy showcase.



Their recent single ‘Not My Fault’ has been championed by

John Kennedy (radio x), Huw Stevens (radio 1) and Steve

Lamacq (BBC 6 music). The band have hit UK festivals

including, Sound City, Kendal Calling, Dot to Dot and The Great

Escape, as well as being chosen for support slots with Bob

Mould (Hüsker Dü) opening for The Garden, The Amazons,

Inheaven and Pins.



Previous self-recorded releases ‘Brainless’ and ‘False

Advertising’ and the Too Pure (Beggars Group) released ‘Give

it your worst / Scars’, have won praise from the likes of The

Guardian, DIY, Drowned in Sound, Line Of Best Fit and Clash.

Their early recordings capturing the rebellious and youthful

spirit of a band carving out their own space.
