Fake Names Tickets

Fake Names is a high-energy punk/post-hardcore project that emerged from a collaboration of prominent figures in the American underground scene. Formed in 2016 in New York by Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion) and Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), the band expanded to include Dennis Lyxzén (Refused, INVSN) on vocals, with Johnny Temple (Girls Against Boys) on bass, and later Brendan Canty (Fugazi) joining on drums. This blend of veteran influence helps Fake Names fuse sharp, punchy riffs with melodic hooks and urgent, anthemic choruses.

Rooted in a DIY ethos and driven by relentless energy, Fake Names delivers music that’s both confrontational and infectious. Their sound is described as a high-energy punk/post-hardcore blend with strong power-pop influences, making it accessible without diluting their edge. The band released its debut album, Fake Names, on Epitaph Records on May 8, 2020, followed by Expendables on March 3, 2023, which showcased a cleaner, more melodic approach while preserving the band’s hard-edged roots. Fans can expect direct, no-nonsense performances when they see Fake Names live.
