Trains' is the first single kicking off Hong Faux’s much anticipated third full length album due for release in 2023. The song dives deep into the fury of an “ordinary man” over the state of craziness in the current world. Bombastic, modern rock coupled with the rhythm and attack of hip hop. If this track doesn’t make your head move–have it checked!

ABOUT HONG FAUX
Ever since Hong Faux's very first recorded notes that started their journey from blog, to magazines, to radio and MTV, people have tried to label the music and try to figure out the meaning of the band's name. A London promoter called it "Old school super sludgy riffology with blues wailin' vox". Listening to the songs 'Present Tense-Less' and 'Bad City Blues' on their debut album, it would be foolish to argue against such a statement. On the other hand, you'll find the sound that brought together four guys with very diverse musical tastes and backgrounds.
One of the things the band members all dig on the same level is the harder bands that came out of Seattle in the early nineties. So, all put together, with a few added ingredients, you get heavy stoner riff galore with strong melodic vocals that honour the harmonic complexity of the grunge era.
"Our ambition is to combine the guitar riffs from the 70's, the grunge scenes more melodic arts from the 90's with modern rock. We have always enjoyed pop choruses and were convinced that the harder rock crew would think we were wimpy. But we were wrong... I guess even the cool dudes like to be tickled on the thighs every once and a while." - lead singer Nik Serén.
The four-piece has done shows all over Europe, sharing stages with such diverse bands as D-A-D, Clutch, Graveyard, Danko Jones, Coheed and Cambria and Babyshambles. You can count on Hong Faux delivering both weight and melody, just like they always do.
