jonty_fishtank Southsea's finest deliver a punchy set of sheer quality on their first LP - all killer, no filler. Every hook and chorus has been honed on stage as they build on their growing live reputation. Fake Empire express real emotion in these deceptively simple and relatable songs of love, loss and longing. Highlight is the casually epic singalong anthem "The Sadness Will Last Forever", which manages to be truly uplifting and heart-breaking at the same time. A must-have. Favorite track: The Sadness Will Last Forever.

Manhatten (Fan) Heard them playing at the Wedgewood Rooms last night (08/09/21) and instantly knew I was going to have to purchase and stream the shit out of their music. Great vibe to it. 💜

VICENTE MELERO It's impossible to choose only one track.
The album is simply perfect.

Lisa Black Never have I ever read a review that I relate to more than jonty-fishtank"s, so I'll just say "What they said".
Love every track on this brilliant album.
The Sadness... is one of my favourite songs by any band ever. Favorite track: The Sadness Will Last Forever.

about

The band went into hibernation as the Covid-19 Pandemic swept across the continents. The band have recently re-awoken from their slumber with their debut album FLAWS in tow.

FLAWS (BR011) was written over the course of the last two years. The band took a methodical approach to song writing - Simon creating the musical sketches in his home studio then sending them over to Les who worked out the lyrics and vocal melodies during commutes; humming ideas into phones and absorbing conversations going on around him.

“This is an album about love, despair, discrimination and Vincent Van Gogh... The album is called Flaws because many of our songs are interwoven with a faint underlying theme of weaknesses, failings, and imperfections.”
Les Black, Vocals & Bass
