Five Times August has struck again with "Counterfeit World," an explosive new track that critiques the inauthenticity permeating modern life. Following his previous release, "Liars, Cheats, and Crooks," featuring Pete Parada on drums (The Defiant/Offspring), Mark White on bass (The Spin Doctors), and producer Greg Camp (The Defiant/Smash Mouth), this latest anthem takes aim at the counterfeit nature of relationships, media, and societal norms.
The song opens with vivid imagery of "counterfeit boys" and "counterfeit girls" engaging in shallow love, setting the stage for a deeper commentary on how pervasive these themes have become. The catchy chorus poses urgent questions—“Who’s got the power? Who’s got control?”—inviting listeners to reflect on the authenticity of their own lives.
Five Times August, who has been steadily growing his presence in the conservative counterculture music scene over the past few years, partnered with Baste Records for the release of 'Ain't No Rock and Roll' in 2023, further solidifying his role as a prominent voice in the movement.
With infectious melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, "Counterfeit World" is a rallying cry for those yearning for realness in a world of deception. Don’t miss this powerful track—it’s sure to resonate with anyone searching for authenticity in today’s chaotic landscape.
