False Advertising is a fiercely independent alternative rock trio that burst onto the UK music scene with a DIY ethos and a penchant for loud, gritty, and unapologetic soundscapes. The band, consisting of Jen Hingley (vocals/guitar), Chris Warr (vocals/drums), and Josh Sellers (bass), formed in Manchester and drew attention with their unique ability to switch instruments mid-performance, showcasing their versatility and musicianship. The group's style is characterized by a blend of grungy guitar riffs, dual vocal harmonies, and infectious energy that resonates with a deep-rooted love for '90s alternative rock, all while carving out a contemporary identity of their own.

Their discography, featuring forceful tracks like "Personal Space" and "Brainfreeze," showcases their knack for crafting hook-driven songs that balance melody with a raucous edge. "You Won't Feel Love" and "I Would Be so Much Happier If I Just Stopped Caring" highlight the band's introspective lyrical themes, often exploring personal and societal anxieties alongside dynamic shifts in their music. With each release, from the confrontational "Give It Your Worst" to the introspective "Honest," False Advertising has solidified their standing as a band with an uncompromising vision, garnering acclaim across the UK's underground rock scene and attracting a loyal fanbase eager for the group's raw, energetic, and honest performances.
