Wasted Away is the debut single from Manchester band False Advertising. They bring a fuzzy kind of noise that’s got more than a little of the ’90s about it and a whole truck load of potential. The power chords and just the right level of in-your-face vocals of Wasted Away have me thinking Universal Heart-Beat era Juliana Hatfield crossed with Speedy Ortiz - mind you, False Advertising themselves have cited Smashing Pumpkins and children’s TV themes among their influences so I might be way off there…

False Advertising are a trio, consisting of Jen Hingley and Chris Warr, both of whom take it in turns out front and behind the drums, with the recently recruited Josh Sellers on bass completing the line-up. Currently working on a debut album, the band have lined up a live date at The Deaf Institute, Manchester, on April 3rd, supporting Turrentine Jones. Buy tickets HERE.
