False Advertising was formed by Jen Hingley and Chris Warr in 2013, with Josh Sellers completing the lineup in 2014.[1]. Upon deciding that between them they could produce and release their own music[2], they set about writing and self recording their debut album. The band released their first single ‘Dozer’ and self titled album False Advertising in 2015, in June 2016 they released a 7" single on Too Pure Singles Club.[3]. The band are noted for their live instrument swapping[4].
The band have received coverage by Total Guitar[5], The Skinny[6], DIY (magazine)[7], NME[8], The Independent[9], Drowned In Sound and MusicRadar - where Jen was cited #8 in Music Radar’s ‘Best New Guitarists in the world right now’ poll[10].
They have played festivals including SXSW[11], Liverpool Sound City, Meltdown (festival) (curated by Robert Smith), Kendal Calling[12], Zandari Festa[13] Waves Vienna[14]. In 2018 they put on their own festival in Manchester called ‘Falsetival’[15].
In October 2018, the band were chosen as recipients of PRS’s Momentum Fund[16].
Jen Hingley's uncle is Tom Hingley, who was previously the singer of The Inspiral Carpets [17].
