False Flag, a prominent fixture in San Francisco’s hardcore scene, returns with their latest EP, A Million Tons. Known for their raw energy and incisive social commentary, the band delivers six tracks that encapsulate their aggressive sound and confrontational lyrics. False Flag merges gritty guitar work, thunderous basslines, and relentless percussion to create a sonic backdrop that mirrors the urgency of their message.
From the frenetic pace of “How to Ruin Your Life” to the chaotic burst of “Free Acid,” each track on A Million Tons explores themes of societal disillusionment and personal struggle. The EP’s pinnacle, “False Flag,” challenges mainstream narratives with its aggressive riffs and confrontational lyrics, while “One Man War” closes the record with an urgent plea for change.
Produced with a raw yet polished edge, A Million Tons solidifies False Flag’s position at the forefront of hardcore punk, offering listeners both visceral intensity and thought-provoking insight into contemporary issues.
