Fake Problems will be bringing their raucous live show to the UK prior to their previously announced dates with the lauded Frank Turner.

Kicking off with slots at Reading and Leeds festival at the end of August, this band of exuberant Floridians play a one-off UK headline date at Brighton Freebutt in August before heading out to mainland Europe and then returning back to the UK in October for the aforementioned mammoth run of dates with Frank Turner. Having wowed audiences at this year’s SXSW festival, you can bet that their next run of UK shows will be something truly special.

Growing up is never easy, but when you’re in a band it often seems impossible. Make the same record twice and you’re chastised for being repetitive, but if you make too large of a sonic shift your fan base will desert you.

Luckily Fake Problems have never had to deal with this dilemma because with each release they’ve not only organically reinvented their sound, they’ve also successfully redefined who they are as musicians and human beings in the process.

The band’s SideOneDummy debut It’s Great To Be Alive shows Fake Problems’ unique brand of indie rock shaking off the insecurity and soul-searching of adolescence and sees the band embracing a sense of perspective that can only be gained by spending countless months on the road touring, laughing and writing music they believe in.
