False Heads are living proof of the strength of the underground UK Rock scene. Through both their exponential increase in popularity, their ever-strengthening and evolving hybridised style, itself taking the best from Indie, Alternative Rock and driven Punk-Rock, to their general down to earth attitude. An attitude we can confirm after a surprise run-in with the band during a set by the mighty Brain ApeClick Here.

‘Retina’ is the latest single from the three-piece and sheds further light on where False Heads are going and how they are developing as a unit. I/we may be a little late to the party with the ensuing comments on ‘Retina’ but thats this life and indeed how it goes. Shall we?

Opening with a bass-line nigh-on impossible to forget, the infectious Indie-Punk tone begins to take control. Said playful tone alongside the strong English accent is in control to a point where even if you wanted skip, you would be powerless too. ‘Retina’ – to reiterate – is clear in its depiction of where the band are going but it also shows how their roots are still core to their identity.

‘Retina’ is very obviously a track set after the initial era Punk-Rock explosion but one with clear ties to it and with the closing breakdown this reckless cathartic drive is increasingly teasing in the way I have come to expect from False Heads and subjectively speaking, as an avid listener of the three-to-four-chord-shouty-moany-music, I find it irksome but in the most complimentary way possible.

Now obviously on the lyrical and music video front the band are as impeccable and as entertaining as they always have been and on that note, we come to the B-Side where in ‘Said and Done’ the band dispense with their driven rhythms and thick riffs and pursue sombre acoustic tones in what alongside ‘Retina’ becomes of of their best.

If you’re in London or indeed the world, keep an eye out.
