Brisbane punk Gods Fake News have done the hard yards, supporting legends of the scene such as Good Riddance, No Fun At All, Bodyjar, 28 Days and Guttermouth – and that was all within one year of starting the band in 2017!

Since then Fake News have capitalised on that early success with their 2021 album Everyday Warrior and have now followed that up with their latest four-track slab of goodness, Take Me Away.

Traversing the boundaries of traditional punk, Take Me Away sees Fake News explore their musical psyche even more, dipping their toes into other genres while still fully embracing the punk ethos from which they were born. – Heavy Mag
