Fake Names

Fake Names unites decades of punk lineage into sharp, melodic songs that feel urgent and timeless, pairing tightly wound guitars with anthemic hooks and a refined sense of songwriting. Featuring Brian Baker, Michael Hampton, Dennis Lyxzén, and Johnny Temple, the band blends classic hardcore energy with soaring, tuneful choruses and a dynamic, guitar driven sound that nods to both early DC punk and driving power pop.
