BT03 - Luke Griffiths


Listen Later

Jake is joined by frontman of DIY-Punk band False Heads, songwriter and guitarist Luke Griffiths for this episode of the podcast. They have a great chat about meeting Pete Doherty and being asked to support The Libertines on the spot, being scouted by former manager of The Ramones Danny Fields and him becoming a mentor and how creating his heavy-riff fuelled music helped him cope with his mental health growing up and out of university.

Luke is from the East End of London and discovered his love for music after being handed a copy of Nirvana's Nevermind by his auntie and listening to copious amounts of Eminem growing up. After searching around for a band that would mould and embrace his ideas, False Heads was born as a space for him to be able to do that. A big moment came for the trio after their song 'Rabbit Hole' got noticed with millions of streams and attracted major radio stations and festivals to the band, including the iconic Iggy Pop rating what they're all about,

Currently, the band are finalising their third studio album and building momentum once again, after being hampered by less than favourable record deals and the pandemic in years gone by. Their new sound is a direction that Luke and the band believes evolved the band to a place they've never been before, building on all their experiences previously. One thing is for sure is that Luke just wants to just keep putting out good music; the only thing he's dreamed of since he was fourteen years old.
