Having made music together for years, Brisbane duo Faux Bandit (with guitarist/vocalist Adam Brill and drummer Josh Johnstone) have honed in on their high adrenaline, blitzing rock sound.

As the band has developed, their focus has shifted to solid riffs and strong groove-based rock, creating a sonic amalgamation of obnoxious egocentricity and self-loathing cynicism.

Faux Bandit’s journey began with the release their debut EP ‘The Better You Look, The More You See’ in July 2015 that showcased their passionate energy and gusto filled with vigour, frustration and crippling sarcasm. Like all debut EP’s, it set up something for them to build off of, which is precisely what they did.

After the release of their sophomore EP ‘Flex’ in January 2017, Faux Bandit supported an array of touring acts of the likes of Strangers, Interim, PLTS and plenty more.

At the end of 2017, Faux Bandit closed the year out with the blitzing rock track ‘Every Man Is A Pyramid Scheme’ (Out November 10).

Now, toeing the line between passionate animosity and a complete catharsis, their new single ‘Lyrebird Lungs’ is loud, hard and ferocious.
