Band gets wrongly tagged without denial of being a fake band

A fake version of the band Angine De Poitrine has emerged in Russia, much to the surprise of fans and the band itself. The existence of these imposters was confirmed by Sam Murdock, the art director for the real Angine De Poitrine. The fake band has gone so far as to tour in Russia, complete with costumes that resemble those of the original band. What’s even more surprising is that these imposters have been tagging the real band on social media without acknowledging that they are not the genuine article.

The fake Angine De Poitrine was first brought to light in an Instagram post shortly after the release of the band’s second album, Vol II. The post revealed the faux band dressed in similar polka-dotted attire, albeit with less elaborate costumes that appeared to be hand-painted. One blatant giveaway that the band is not authentic is the fact that the fake Kyn is seen playing a single-necked guitar instead of the band’s signature double-necked guitar/bass. It seems that attention to detail was not a top priority for these imposters.

Sam Murdock expressed his frustration, stating, “We’re living in a weird time where everyone’s trying to make money off the band.” He went on to mention that there are already approximately 1,500 fake T-shirts being sold online, with new ones popping up despite efforts to remove them from various platforms. The real Angine De Poitrine continues to face these challenges as their popularity grows.

Despite the presence of imposters, fans can still catch the real Angine De Poitrine in action as they embark on a series of tours throughout 2026. From shows in Canada to performances in Japan, the US, and Europe, the band is in high demand. The duo’s website provides all the necessary information for fans to stay updated on their tour schedule.

In the midst of dealing with fake merchandise and imitators, Angine De Poitrine remains focused on delivering their unique brand of polka-dotted math rock to fans around the world. It’s a testament to their talent and appeal that such imposters would try to profit off their success. Despite the challenges, the real band continues to impress audiences with their innovative music and captivating performances.
