False Flowers, The Kronk Men & Regal Nonchalant False Flowers

What happens when four friends with 100 years of collective musical experience between them get together? FALSE FLOWERS happen. As veterans of the underground punk scene, this quartet loves dark vibes and driving beats, but just can’t quit fast. To hear their music is to cozy up to moody goth, mixed with a punk rock edge.

FALSE FLOWERS members include Craig Hancock (drummer of RAD, Sick Burn), Conrad Melancon (Cold Trap, Mob Rule), Lory Gil (singer for RAD and Sick Burn), and Brian Hanover (known for his guitar and vocal prowess in Hanover Saints, Whiskey Rebels, Union Hearts, Youth Brigade and many more). Individually, they’ve been playing music for nearly three decades.

Sacramento post-punks FALSE FLOWERS are excited to announce the release of their self-titled debut album, available on 12" vinyl and limited-run cassette starting October 3rd, 2025 from Strange Club Records. 

The groups inaugural release features five original tracks, featuring interwoven elements of post punk, dark wave, traditional goth, and death rock into a hypnotic web spun from the darkened abyss of their seductive sound and collective imaginations.

Stylistically FALSE FLOWERS musical offerings beguile you with the enchantingly darkened atmospheres of stark post-punk and bleak dark wave, while the groups lyrics themes are inspired by true crime situations, horrific cinematic masterpieces, and the existential despair brought on by the loneliness of isolation.
