    Press Reviews
    REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL 4 TRACK DEMO "LIVE IT LIKE THIS", RECORDED APRIL 1999:PRO-TECTION FANZINE, ISSUE ONE: NOW ONTO MY GOOD MATES (faKe). THIS DEMO HASN'T BEEN OFF MY TAPE DECK FOR A FEW DAYS NOW. THEY PLAY RAP/METAL WITH A TWIST, THE VOCALIST MULLO HAS A GREAT RANGE OF VOCALS WHICH IS A REAL HIGHLIGHT, JAMIE (GUITARS) SAYS THEY NOW SOUND HEAVIER AFTER BEING INFLUENCED BY SLIPKNOT!! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THEM AGAIN!! 8/10- TOM BRUNSDON, EDITOR, PRO-TECTIONFROM THE ORG RECORDS SITE:(faKe) - ANOTHER NU-METAL BAND IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT - FOUR TRACKS THAT HINT AT POSSIBILITIES WHEN THEY GET THEIR IDENTITY AND SOUND WORKED OUT A LITTLE MORE...THEY'RE FROM YORKSHIRE, AND THIS IS RATHER HOPEFUL. THE FIVE OF THEM ARE TRYING TO GO NEW PLACES - HINTS OF ONE MINUTE SILENCE, VISION OF DISORDER.... "VENT" STANDS OUT.... NEXT TIME AROUND WE COULD BE SHOUTING ABOUT THIS BAND, LET'S HOPE THEY DEVELOP.... I LIKE THE COLOUR IN THEIR METAL, I LIKE THE LITTLE SIDE ISSUES, THEY'RE DOING SOME OF THOSE THINGS STOOPI DO, THEY'RE NOWHERE NEAR "THERE" YET, WORTH STICKING AROUND TO SEE WHAT DEVELOPS THOUGH.........FROM PAX-ZINE:(faKe) - LIVE IT LIKE THIS. A LOT OF BANDS ARE TRYING THIS RAP METAL THING, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED. THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN DOING IT RIGHT AND DOING IT WRONG. LIMP BIZKIT HAD IT ON THE DEBUT THEN LOST IT, (hed)pe KNOW THEIR STUFF, AS DO RATM, BUT THOSE BANDS WERE THE ONES THAT STARTED THE TREND, WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? WHO KNOWS, RIGHT? AH, (faKe) SEE IT'S ALL RELEVANT. (faKe) KIND OF STRADDLE THE LINE FOR ME, "COVER-UP" IS AWESOME, THE RAPS SOUND GOOD AND THE MELODIC CHORUS ELEVATES THE SONG ABOVE MANY WANNABIES, OMS WOULD HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING THIS LOT AT BAY! BUT INSTEAD OF STICKING TO THAT FORMULA THEY SEEM TO HAVE TAKEN A BIT TOO MUCH INFLUENCE FROM K**N AND THE INTRO VOCAL TO VENT JUST MAKES ME CRINGE. THE BAND ALSO TAKE IN HARDCORE INFLUENCES THAT ARE HEARABLE ON "COUNTERACT". THIS IS GOOD BUT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN THERE ARE QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED. THAT FIRST TRACK IS STILL SO AWESOME!!FROM INTOXICATED WEBZINE: (faKe) - LIVE IT LIKE THIS. **** ( 4 STARS OUT OF 5) THIS BAND COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND WHEN YOU CHECK OUT THIS FOUR TRACKER YOU'LL SEE WHY. HARDCORE WITH RAP ELEMENTS AND A SET OF TUNES TO MAKE YOU MOVE LIKE A MAD MAN. THE SONGS BUILD UP FROM SLOW STARTS TO FAST AND FRENZIES FINISHES USING A LIBERAL DOSE OF SHOUTY, MEMORABLE CHORUSES ALONG THE WAY. INFLUENCED BY BANDS FROM DOWNSET AND BIOHAZARD TO VANILLA ICE, (faKe) SHOUT IT LIKE THEY MEAN IT PROVING THEY ARE NO FAKES AT ALL!!FROM EDDIE STRATTON, ONE MINUTE SILENCE DRUMMER:"CHECK OUT (faKe) - EXCELLENT STUFF - REMINDS ME OF SENSER WHEN THEY WERE GOOD!!!!!! NICE ONE CHAPS!!""HEY GUYS - TOP SITE. ANYONE SURFING ON IN COULD DO A LOT WORSE THAN GETTING HOLD OF SOME STUFF BY (faKe) - IT IS DARN GOOD!"WE ALSO GET A MENTION IN EDDIES THANKS IN THE BANDS LATEST, AND GREATEST, ALBUM, "BUY NOW, SAVED LATER..."
