False Advertising is a three piece indie rock band from the UK and “Not My Fault” appears on their 2017 EP, I Would Be So Much Happier If I Just Stopped Caring. Concerning the motivation of the tune, front woman Jen Hingley stated: “We wrote this song whilst lamenting the loss of opportunity and hope that this last year’s political developments have brought to a generation”.
The official video may not seem to connect to the message of the song, but Hingley made the following statement: “We basically just wanted to be selfish and have a great day, so we went and spent loads of money on arcade machines, grilled cheese and alcohol. The song is about being semi-oblivious and detached from the crazy political landscape that we reside within these days, so we thought fuck it, let’s be oblivious and do whatever the hell we want to bring it to life.” Their brand of political angst is infectious and the UK press is touting them for a big break through in 2018.
