Time And A Place For Everything With NICK From FAKE NEWS

Interview by Kris Peters
Queensland melodic punk upstarts Fake News have successfully
managed to bring together the attitude of punk, the essence of rock
and the harmonious balance of nature into one uniting sonic force
of cohesion that is almost impossible to resist.
Since forming in the beautiful surroundings of the Gold Coast in
2017, Fake News have steadfastly refused to adhere to societal
rules, instead focusing on producing their own brand of infectious
grooves that has struck a chord with every lover of music who has
crossed their path.
Their 2021 debut album Everyday Warrior was widely regarded as
amongst the albums of the year, with its unassuming yet edgy sound
appealing to a broader fanbase than any one of their number of
genres could hope to reach on their own.
They followed that with last year's EP, Take Me Away, which
furthered the band’s momentum and this week Fake News delivered the
knockout blow with the catchy as fuck six-track EP Time &
Place.
Nick from Fake News joined HEAVY to discuss the EP and the musical
revolution that defines them.
"It's pretty bloody good," he smiled modestly when asked about Time
& Place. "If you haven't listened to it, yet you probably
should because you will enjoy it. I promise you."
With the EP being released a few days ago on May 29 we ask how it
feels to finally have it out there and open for the world to
judge.
"It's great," he sighed. "We've been hanging onto it for too long.
It's been sitting there waiting and getting all the pieces in place
that you've gotta have when it comes to releasing music. We had a
few singles come out in the lead-up to it and that was all good,
but it's great to get the EP out there and say this is it. This is
what we've been working on. Just to see people's reactions to it,
and it's been going pretty well - and that's what we expected. We
haven't changed our style much. We've stuck with the tried and true
formula that we love, and other people love, so you can't go wrong
with that."
In the full interview, Nick talks more about the EP musically, runs
through each track individually and tells us more about them,
releasing EP's as opposed to full albums in the modern age of
music, the significance of the title, Time & Place, upcoming
shows and more.
