FakeYou

FakeYou is a Montreal-based punk band channeling loss and raw emotion into songs that hit with both urgency and vulnerability. Rooted in gritty melodies and driving rhythms, their sound balances raw intensity with moments of reflection, capturing the chaos that follows when devotion turns all-consuming. Formed within Montreal's fiercely active DIY punk scene, FakeYou thrives in a city where packed rooms, unconventional venues, and relentless energy shape bands through constant motion. Their songs feel lived-in, emotionally charged narratives delivered with a sense of immediacy that mirrors the environment they come from. Their debut album, *Promise to Disappear*, arrives on April 3rd via 59 X Records. The record was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Max Lajoie (Spite House, Montreal), whose production amplifies the band's raw edge while preserving the emotional weight at its core. Lyrically, the album explores the aftermath of losing someone who once defined everything, themes already evident in singles like "All About You," a track that spirals through memory, madness, and longing. Adding to the band's pedigree, FakeYou's drummer is formerly of The Sainte Catherines, bringing a seasoned punk backbone that grounds the band's volatile energy with precision and force. With *Promise to Disappear*, FakeYou stakes their claim as a band unafraid to sit in discomfort, transforming emotional wreckage into something loud, honest, and unforgettable.
