Faker’s got new shoes. The Sydney band returned to the stage in Australia in April 2022 as frontperson, Nathan Hudson, returned from a spell of globetrotting in the name of making a new Faker album a reality.
Faker has always been Hudson’s baby: he founded the band in 1996 and, in 2013, wrote on Tumblr that he “broke the band up”. Hudson was the driving force behind the EPs, Sound Out Loud and Kids On Overload, that put Faker on the map in 2001; and it was his songwriting and Brit inflected croon that made Faker’s 2007 single “This Heart Attack” a commercial radio hit.
“This Heart Attack” reached #9 on the ARIA singles chart and achieved Platinum certification. It was voted #5 in the Hottest 100 of 2007, with Faker playing the main stage on the 2008 Big Day Out tour and a sold out headline shows at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre and The Forum in Melbourne.
Hudson revived the band’s social media accounts on October 4, 2020, writing, “I went on a big adventure and disbanded the band, because I guess I needed to. Then the world went a little bit crazy and somewhere in the middle of that I figured out that I wanted to be in Faker again.”
13 months later, and after a few updates concerning the creation of a new Faker record, Hudson confirmed the Faker reunion was no joke and "we’re back”.
Since the announcement, Hudson’s been chipping away at a new Faker album and committing his new ideas to tape in the early months of 2022.
