LISTEN TO THE EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF THE NEW EP FROM WITHIN BY FAKE FIGURES ONLY ON OUTBURN.COM
FAKE FIGURES, a rock/metal group based out of the greater Los Angeles area, has their new EP entitled From Within releasing on Friday, September 29th.
From Within is the first of new music from the band since 2019’s We Are The Dead, and is the debut for new band vocalist Steve Ludwig. Ludwig was formerly the drummer for Fake Figures over the past 10 years and played on notable Fake Figures tracks, including “Bury the Hatchet” and “Hole in the Sky.” Prior to Fake Figures, Ludwig was the vocalist for California supergroup Nation’s Afire, which included members of Rise Against, Ignite, and Death By Stereo.
Fake Figures aims to pen heavy rock tracks that steer into experimental waters, while carefully channeling rock formulas made popular by 90s and 2000s bands that inspired the members. Guitarist Travis Miguel, with a bit of humor, sums up the band’s sound; “Whenever people ask me what FF sounds like, I tell them, ‘Think of a bunch of old HC dudes who worship at the alter of Alice In Chains and Queens of the Stone Age.’”
Vocalist Steve Ludwig adds, “In this world, we have two choices—stand up and rise above, or breathe the noxious gas that is being stuffed down our throats every day. From big corporate media to negative social media outlets, there are simply too many negatives and not enough positives for me today. I’ve usually been in a position where people heavily produce what I’ve written from home and from the heart. Where people have always told me how to write, and how to sing, and ultimately curbed my creativity. I sincerely hope to do the old songs justice, but I hope you dig the new jams. I think of these songs as my therapy, and I hope the listener can relate to what I’m putting out there into the world. Thanks for checking it out.”
