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.
Whether you’re in a tribute band, love seeing them live, or just want to hear how iconic music lives on — turn it up.

This week on Fake It Out Loud, Sarah is joined by Surreal Panther — Europe’s premier tribute to glam-metal chaos merchants Steel Panther.
Steel Panther are known for outrageous humour, huge riffs, and a stage show that walks the tightrope between satire and serious musicianship.
Formed after witnessing Steel Panther tear up Download Festival in 2010, Surreal Panther have spent years bringing that same high-energy experience to stages across the UK and Europe. Their shows capture the music, the characters, and the unapologetic fun that makes a Steel Panther gig unforgettable.
In this episode, we dive into:
- How Surreal Panther first came together
- The balance between comedy, character, and serious musicianship
- Life on stage in full glam-metal mode
- Wild moments that could only happen at a Surreal Panther show
- Lessons learned from building a tribute band that’s as theatrical as it is musical
