False Confession (band) explained

False Confession (band) should not be confused with False confession (legal).

False Confession is an American hardcore punk band, that formed in the early 1980s in the Oxnard, California, area. They are one of the founding members of the "Nardcore" punk movement.

Their first 7-inch EP Left to Burn was released by Mystic Records in 1984. The tracks included:

1. Left To Burn
2. Feline
3. Scared
4. Our Savior
5. Just As I Am
6. Lies

They were also featured on the Nardcore Compilation LP.

One of the members, Scotty Morris, went on to form the swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy many years later. Another member, Harry, joined The Cramps as Harry Drumdini from January 1994 to August 2003.

In June 2012, the band performed a reunion show and announced their return with almost the entire original lineup of Israel, Harry, Fred, and new bass player Ismael. Scotty Morris has too much of a full schedule with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to return to the band at this time.
