Hong Faux is an alternative rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.

“Our ambition is to combine the guitar riffs from the 70’s, the grunge scene’s 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 likes to be tickled on the thighs every once and a while…” – lead singer Nik Serén.

2012 the debut »The Crown That Wears The Head« was released and immediately resonated with the rock crowd, especially in Germany. The album was exceptionally well received in media and lasted the full eight weeks allowed on the German Rock and Metal DJ Chart and was praised by magazines like Classic Rock, Slam and Metal Hammer. The band was even invited to do a one hour TV broadcast at the legendary Rockpalast, sharing the bill with Rival Sons.

In late October 2015 Hong Faux released their second full-length album »A Message From Dystopia« which musically, as well as lyrically, takes a good look at modern life through the lens of someone on the fringe of society. The album was co-produced by Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames) and the sound was even bigger and heavier than their debut, while at the same time containing even catchier songs attracting a wider audience. The record got top reviews in Europe with Classic Rock Magazine Germany setting the bar with the headline: “Hits, hits and more hits”.

In February 2023 their third full-length album »Desolation Years« is released. Listen to the new album here: orcd.co/desolation-years
