**** Official Announcement ****
It is with the deepest sadness that we have to tell you all that our long time friend and drummer (Even going back to the uniSEF days), Matt, has stepped down from the position of drummer for False Idle. We wish him and his family the best as they move on to bigger and better things in their new location.
Make sure to look for Matt on some upcoming Thumper Punk Records projects as he will continue to contribute his skills to the cause!
With this change, a few adjustments have been made within the False Idle camp. Phil has put down his guitar, and taken on the role of full time drummer. This, in turn, means that upon Tylers return (in 3 weeks), Sef will remain on 2nd guitar instead of the planned move to strictly lead singer.
Our thanks goes out to Matt for all that he has done for the band. You will be missed, brother...

What a summer...
After a summer of shows, a broken wrist, and writing and recording some new music, we are focusing our time on two things.
Firstly, we have grabbed our acoustic guitars and started working on acoustic versions of our songs. We would love to hit some local coffee shops, records stores, and maybe even the Hot Topic to jam out a little bit. All of us in Fi love hearing bands like Strike Anywhere and Rise Against play acoustic sets, so we wanted to give it a go ourselves.
Secondly, we plan on taking some time this fall to start writing some new music for our next full length release. We have some pretty cool ideas as to what we are going to be releasing next, but you will all just have to wait and see what happens.
Until then, make sure to check out the singles that we did last month for a few cool projects.

Sad news for all of you Tyler fans...
We have some saddening news to share with you all that we have been holding onto for a while now. Our second guitarist and good friend, Tyler, will be leaving the group for a while to follow through with a previous commitment. We look forward to his triumphant return in the future.
On the other side of the coin we potentially have a fill-in guitarist for our upcoming shows and recordings who is a good friend and a great musician to boot... stay tuned for more details...

False Idle to release “I Refuse” EP on a 7"
We are pleased to announce that the brand new False Idle "I Refuse" EP will be released as a 7 inch on both red and black vinyl. This release is the first release from the brand new, vinyl focused, Christian Punk Rock label called Veritas Vinyl in association with Thumper Punk Records. Pre-orders are available now at all three of the following online stores:
False Idle releases “I Refuse”, a free punk rock EP download
Boise, ID – After their successful debut release in 2010, “Hymns of Punk Rock Praise”, False Idle is coming back strong with a four song EP that will undoubtedly leave you wanting more. The band has taken its stance against wasting your life away on a couch, and turned it into a motivating musical reminder of what life has to offer each of us, and what each of us has to offer to the world we live in.
The “I Refuse” EP leaves nothing to be desired musically. False Idle’s transition from solo project to full band has added a great amount of depth and maturity to their overall sound. The two guitars totally compliment each other while remaining big and full. The grungy bass lines come through as a perfect match to the band’s sound. The solid-as-a-rock drums will blow you away, and with a crisp rasp and creative harmonies, the vocals have definitely been taken to a new level. A friend of the band says this about the EP: (It) has a technical old school skate rock feel to it, like faster more musically mature street punk, if that makes sense”
The guys from False Idle are just as passionate about the message as they are about the music. This statement was pulled from their website about the new EP: “No matter where you are in life, there is more. We all need to find the fight within ourselves to become better people. Whether it is for our families and friends, for ourselves, or in our spiritual walk, we all need to strive to do more with what we have been given. Mediocrity is not acceptable to God, and you shouldn’t accept it in yourself. I will no longer accept it in myself... I Refuse”. To anyone that hears these songs, their mission will become perfectly clear.
False Idle is in the planning stages of a Pacific North West tour to support the “I Refuse” EP and to begin promoting the upcoming full length “Hymns of Punk Rock Praise, Volume II”, due out in early 2012.
The EP entitled, “I Refuse”, is available as a free download through Thumper Punk Records on the Indie Vision Music website here: http://www.indievisionmusic.com/2011/06/07/false-idle-i-refuse/ Make sure to download your copy and tell all of your friends, you won’t be disappointed.
