Southsea's finest deliver a punchy set of sheer quality on their first LP - all killer, no filler. Every hook and chorus has been honed on stage as they build on their growing live reputation. Fake Empire express real emotion in these deceptively simple and relatable songs of love, loss and longing. Highlight is the casually epic singalong anthem "The Sadness Will Last Forever", which manages to be truly uplifting and heart-breaking at the same time. A must-have.
