With each member of False Start having immersed himself in music ever since he can remember, it was intuitive that False Start would form in the Winter of 2005. Musical artistry comes naturally, fusing together rock and pop-punk into catchy, accessible anthems is second nature.
False Start have become one of the hardest working bands in New Zealand, releasing their first single 'Don't Walk Away' plus the debut, 'Goodbye Summer E.P.'. As well as sharing stages with international acts: Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Funeral For A Friend, Story Of The Year, The Used, Aiden, Rise Against and more.
While the rest of the world was celebrating a White Christmas or spending their Summer re-creating scenes from a Motley Crue music video, False Start locked themselves away in an old converted walk-in-fridge to record their debut album; 'Through The Looking Glass', with their only release into the outside world being a Big Day Out performance and Australian tour.
False Start are determined to succeed and they have a prodigious fan-base backing them every single step of the way.
The proof, is in the faces and hearts of every False Start fan.
Consider yourself warned. A False Start take-over is imminent and in their own words: "YOU BETTER LOOK OUT cos I'll never let you bring me down today."
"These kiwi musicians have earned the right to be respected for their music. With well over 100 live performances, the release of their second EP, the band deserves recognition for their achievements... This hardworking 5-piece are steadily building a fan- base around the country for their accessible blend of pop, rock and punk - and particularly in the youth demographic, on account of their preference for playing all- ages shows." - Groove Guide
"Destined for MORE, than the ordinary 'crash & burn' fate of most local bands, False Start promote positive messages and put the fun back into a sanctimonious local music scene suffocated by Tall Poppy Syndrome." - vampedUP.co.nz
"The almost constant stream of gigging, including supporting St Louis band Story Of The Year, has earned the band an extremely tight-knit and loyal fan base, as evidenced by a quick browse on their myspace pages..." - NZ Musician
“The band has recently signed on to Deadboy Records, with distribution and backing from Universal Music New Zealand, and will continue to gain critical mass as their independent sound begins to permeate the population." - Tearaway Magazine
"False Start is not an overnight pop sensation, but rather a band which has struggled for years to reach this point... the determination and grit False Start bring to the table with this album give the group an edge over its peers..." - Waikato Times magazine
