After recently releasing their From Within EP, Fake Figures (featuring members of Atreyu, Scars of Tomorrow, and Hotwire) have announced 2 upcoming shows in Hollywood, California. The latest release is their first new music since 2019’s We Are The Dead, and the debut of Steve Ludwig, stepping up to vocal duties. Find the live details and more below..

Get From Within here.

 

Vocalist, Steve 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. 

 

Ludwig comments “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.”

More about Fake Figures:

Fake Figures is a band from Southern California, which blends influences ranging from metal and hardcore, to punk and desert rock. Over the past year, the group tracked the EP with producer Kris Comeaux (Assuming We Survive) and mastered the effort with Mike Kalajian (Periphery, Senses Fail). 

 

Fake Figures aims to pen heavy rock tracks that steer into experimental waters, while carefully channeling rock formulas made popular by 90’s and 2000’s 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.”

Travis Miguel (Atreyu) – Guitar
