Fake It Out Loud
A podcast celebrating the loud, proud, and fiercely talented world of UK rock and metal tribute bands.
Hosted by Sarah, a lifelong metalhead and gig junkie, Fake It Out Loud dives into the backstage grit, guitar wizardry, and full-throttle passion behind the UK’s booming tribute scene.
From powerhouse bands keeping legendary music alive to the venues, promoters, and festivals that make it happen — this show pulls back the curtain on the tribute circuit like never before.
Expect real talk, wild stories, gear geek-outs, crowd chaos, and the occasional shred showdown.
