Release Notes:
FFS' debut release, mini-album Furious Sons, was recorded with
Rory Brattwell (ex-Test Icicles) and is released on Tough Love
Records (HEALTH, Situationists etc). FFS have managed to
create six distinct songs, all of which hit the mark. The
poppiness of the songs conceals the world-weary sadness of
Jon's lyrics which are brimming with colourful imagery and
rendered optimistic by the band's uplifting, melodic
instincts. Crashing guitars, anthemic choruses and periodic
shouts define their sound. The record bursts open with Erode
My Empire, a song that begins with a nod to the band's more
hardcore roots (a screamed "BA-BOOM!"), before morphing into
wistful power-pop pegged to opening lyrical gem: "Empires
erode from the coastline in / and i'll be left in the square
metre in the middle / probably in Nottingham".
Dananananaykroyd handpicked FFS to tour with them on the
southern leg of their recent tour.
