Fake Lighters

Visited today to record a cover song for an upcoming tribute comp. Details soon…

New Year, New Amp. I wonder what songs will be written on this guy in 2024.

Thank you to everyone who came to a show, streamed a song, or bought a record in 2023! We really truly appreciate it!!! We’ve got some more things planned for 2024, stay tuned!

In case you missed this review in MRR from a few months ago

We have a review in the new issue of Razorcake/Gorsky Press, Inc. - check it out!

FAKE LIGHTERS: Missing the Boat: 12”EP - Razorcake Very 1990s pop punk, Fake Lighters are a solid throwback. This seven-track, single-sided EP has smooth, clean production. The vocals are on the softer end, reminiscent of Ean or Denny from Sicko. Some of the guitar riffs contain ska-infused syncopation, without the songs becoming actual ska tracks.....

Thanks New Noise Magazine for the review. Check it out!

Bandcamp of the Day: Fake Lighters – New Noise Magazine Fake Lighters is a ska punk band from Long Island. Their latest album is called 'Missing the Boat' and it's streaming on Bandcamp.

Same design, now on a sticker!

You should probably tell your Alexa to put on 94.3 the shark - or turn on one of those old timey radios. We’ll be on soon. Just sayin.
