Fake Shark Real Zombie


Normally, when I see the words post-hardcore, I kind of just move on. But every once and a while a band comes along that's a bit more daring then the rest of the pack and demand that you pay attention. Fake Shark Real Zombie is one of those bands.

Often called the Canadian Blood Brothers or some other screamo, hard core, black hair dye, skinny jeans wearing band that loves white belts, the band obviously comes from a certain school of thought. But musically, this band isn't too proud to allow others to tinker with their overpowering tunes.

And tinker people have. Fake Shark Real Zombie have fallen prey to the remix monster and who has taken something that was once far more obnoxious, beaty, strange, and pretty damn good. And if that wasn't enough, Portishead has even taken a liking to the band and remixed their cover of "Sour Times."
