New Fods Material for 2025! This hasn’t had the 30+ year gestation period like that of the Don’t ARgue project, this is hot off the press newly-written material to kick off the New Year in typically noisy fashion.
So what do we have here? A 2 track release with the double A side single The Ineffectuals, and Shopping: a gem from the Good Stock Records back-catalogue just to keep things ticking over.
We’re told to expect a healthy production line from The Fods in 2025 with more of this type of release: headlining new material, whilst mining the old tapes and memory banks for the supporting cast.
1 : The Ineffectuals
The writing and production team that brought most of the Don’t ARgue project to bear, Critchley / Collins, has been forged anew and brings you Rob‘s words and Ol‘s music once again, with this utter rock banger featuring the awesome Joe Booe handling the vocals.
2 : Shopping
This is an old flawed track that was originally going to be taken on by The Goodstock Project, but the recording wasn’t ready for the Remote release cycle, so The Fods took it on, which gives us the great mashup of Ben (with his trusty iPhone) and Jon as the rhythm section, but with The Fods choosing the vocalist: introducing the amazing Aura Davis with backing vocals from Birch.
