Sounds Like: "Fake Shark-Real Zombie! - Eenie Meanie: From the Zebra! Zebra! CD. The band sent me this right when I was leaving on tour so it took me a while to throw songs from it into the mix. We played one of their songs many weeks ago when they sent me a sound file through the internets. I think this is a really great, loud, wild record filled with passion and fury smashing into everything in sight, good stuff."
"Fake Shark Real Zombie – Pair Of Dice: I got a letter from this band asking me to check them out on Myspace so I did. I thought they were really great so I asked them to send me the song they had on their site and they did, that’s what you heard tonight. Below is their page on Myspace. I hear Myspace is where all the kids go to hang out and get picked up on by older men. Hey now! I am looking forward to hearing the band’s album when it comes out. " Henry Rollins

"Fake Shark Real Zombie
I'm positive that this name rings a bell. Featured in nearly every local media paper (Georgia Straight, the Nerve, Ion Magazine, The Discorder...), Fake Shark Real Zombie is becoming somewhat of a household name. Fresh off of a tour from Japan, these post-everything mash-up punk band change musical styles and rhythms in a heartbeat and do it well. Akin to the late Testicicles meets Thunderbirds are Now or the Ex models, these guys are a perfect candidate for the next French Kiss Records (home of Les Savy Fav and above mentioned groups). "

"Fake Shark Real Zombie will demonstrate how they were able to slice away about 6 years of musical history from the space-time continuum and Photoshop-style cut-and-paste the old new hardcore and the new old post-pop-punk together. What? I know. " Only magazine
"Best Local Band
Fake Shark, Real Zombie - While performing on stage, the lead singer called the audience a bunch of nerds. He was right. We were a bunch of nerds. Then he proceeded to get into a fistfight with a member of the audience. He got like five good headshots in on the guy. The Dandi Wind shirt he was wearing was my clue that it was all theatrics, but I was still impressed." The Nerve Magazine
"Fake Shark Real Zombie
SOUNDS LIKE: Limp Bizkit’s first album getting in a barfight with Limp Bizkit’s 2nd album then tagging in Limp Bizkit’s B-Sides collection who breaks a chair over the head of Fred Durst’s cellphone sex video." Dandi Wind
