Fake Problems

"combines grungy acoustic guitars, alterna-folk sounds, quivering vocals and the odd banjo and electronic noise for a low-fi, pop-rock sound" - Daytona News-Journal

Fake Problems - Watching the Bull Get the Matador, CD
Fake Problems, but real potential. Watching the Bull Get the Matador is another in a line of telling demonstrations of this Florida quartet's growing competency with arrangement and the subtle art of lyrical subterfuge. Lead singer/guitarist Chris Farren whittles passionate and patently interesting storylines along the same, but less dark directive as Indiana's Murder by Death. There isn't a touch of the beach in them, but an abundance of aching heartland misery and woebegone girl troubles. Farren's writing has gotten even better than it was on the band's earlier release a split with Sedona and the smorgasbord of instruments used on Matador serve the sometimes unorthodox, but smooth toolings wonderfully. Maybe still a year or two away from being a big deal, but Fake Problems should get there. (SM)

The instrumentation on Oh No! is, at times, both lush and introspective. - Upbeetmusic.com

"I Think You Should Let Me Drive" is right to the point and packed with personality. It has a very cool lead in distorted guitar intro followed by a second clean guitar with a John Frusciante feel to it which sets the pace for the remainder of the track. The mellow "Found You Out" has a beautiful undertone with just the right electronic beat to carry it in perfect sequence with the EP - Impact Press

A lively eclectic collection of songs, Fake Problems' new release is pure neo-indie pop, or "rock & roll reinvented"...it is music that is true to the players' hearts as they continue the quest to balance success with integrity. - Naples Sun Times
