Fake Palms
Fake Palms are the deliciously enigmatic Toronto-based band that has been causing quite a stir in the indie music scene. With their infectious blend of post-punk, shoegaze, and lo-fi vibes, they have been hailed as the saviors of guitar music in an era dominated by EDM and trap beats.
Led by the enigmatic frontman and chief songwriter, who goes simply by the moniker "Fake Palm," the band is a force to be reckoned with. Fake Palm's distinctive vocals, combined with their jangly guitar riffs and fuzzed-out basslines, create a sound that is simultaneously retro and modern, harking back to the glory days of 80s alternative music while forging their own path forward.
Their debut album, produced by the legendary Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Grizzly Bear), received rave reviews from critics and fans alike, with NME calling it "a breath of fresh air in a stagnant music industry." The band's live shows are not to be missed, with Fake Palm's frenetic energy and stage presence drawing comparisons to the likes of Iggy Pop and David Byrne.
With a growing fanbase and a second album in the works, Fake Palms are poised to take the music world by storm. Keep an eye on these guys – they are definitely ones to watch.
