Faux Replika Presenting!
Team up Roxy Epoxy and Chris Gobo Pierce and you get Presenting, the absolutely fantastic debut album from Faux Replika. These two are nothing short of one of the most dynamic duos to ever cut a record. These songs were written half long distance and half on Roxy's trips back east. The result is an equal mix of their two styles that mix and bubble in the cauldron of rock n roll and the end product is nothing short of electrifying. Roxy's low hypnotic voice and captivating performances as frontwoman for The Epoxies (Fat Wreck Chords) has drawn comparisons to Chrissie Hynde, Siouxie Sioux and even a young Leonard Graves from The Dickies. Now take Chris Pierce. Here's a man who has produced bands like The Ergs and Nightbirds and has the ability to utterly destroy any instrument he picks up. Lock the two of them in a studio in New Jersey and this is what you get. An eclectic mix of punk rock, new wave, hyper fuzzed out electro-rock, deluxe hooks and mega riffs. Think DEVO meets Tilt. Think Dance Hall Crashers meets Gary Neuman. It's strange, it's awesome and it's catchy as hell. FFO: The Epoxies, Doc Hopper, DEVO, The Network
