Biography

The Fods are a transatlantic writing and recording partnership who augment their unique indie Punk rock sound with some of the most talented vocalists around.

Comprising of a rotating cast of collaborators, stretching back to long-standing writing partnerships from the ’90s right through to new cohorts found in the Wild West that is the internet.

As a result the material is eclectic, but always guitar forward, genre traversing, energetic tunes. Writers, performers, collaborators and technicians contribute from anywhere across this earth, so each song will have its own individual sensation.

As of Spring 2023 The Fods entered a “write an EP in a month” challenge, the result of which was the “One To Watch” EP, named after the accolade it was awarded. The lead-off single Gil Barco, was release on all streaming platforms on 14th July 2023, with the EP following on 13th October.

In late 2023 The Fods started the Don’t ARgue project which revisits the very earliest ancestry of Good Stock Records, modernising tracks recorded on 4-track tape by the band of the same name in the early 1990’s. The lead single You’ve Not Got Me dropped late Dec 2023, with 2nd single My Fine Derangement in May 2024 and 3rd single Volumes of Silence following in August.

The project came to a noisy conclusion with the EP release on streaming services and a run of digipak CDs in September 2024.

Gil Barco – love this song.. lots going on and keeps you coming back for more

Aye Nevo – SoundCloud

This reminds me of so many different things, but does not remind me specifically of anything at the same time. Kind of a progressive/pop/rock hybrid. Really cool.
