Once upon a time, in the leafy green town of Cheshire (UK), there was a little student band called Don't ARgue. The year? Somewhere in the mid-90s. They threw together a handful of tunes, played a few gigs, and even won a battle of the bands (yep, you read that right!). But, as life often does, it took them in different directions. Fast forward to now, and The Fods have dusted off those old memories, rebuilt the tracks, and added some top-tier indie talent from both sides of the Atlantic.
For the past 15 months, The band been diving headfirst into nostalgia, pulling in legends from the North West of England, all the way to New York, New Jersey, and Toronto. The result? Each track has its own unique vibe, but there's no mistaking The Fods’ signature guitar-forward, raw energy driving it all.
So, what exactly has he got for you? Let’s break it down:
1- Metal Dog
A raucous, industrial, nu-metal-ish opener that hits like a freight train. Loud, gritty, and impossible to ignore. Danny from Teddy Head rips through the vocals, backed by The Fods ensemble. Buckle up.
2- My Fine Derangement
Here’s a monster of a rock anthem. It's already snagged over 37k streams (and counting!)—no surprise there. Vocals by the unstoppable Birch of Go Birch. This one’s a powerhouse.
3- You've Not Got Me
The lead single that kicked off The Fods' journey, smacking straight into the hearts of the indie-punk crowd. Raw, gritty, and pure Don’t ARgue roots. Another stellar vocal from Birch.
4- Kickback
This one’s a slow-burner. Starts low, builds, and then hits like a sledgehammer. Back in the day, it was the highlight of their live sets. Vocals again by Birch, delivering that familiar punch.
5- Good Night’s Sleep
Don’t let the chill indie vibe fool you—there's more than meets the ear. Fod Al takes lead vocals, with backing from Ol and Rob. Fun fact: Rob's bit was recorded back in 1995. Time travel, anyone?
6- Volumes of Silence
An indie-rock gem drenched in 90s nostalgia, but make no mistake, it’s fresh, modern, and sharp. With vocals by Jeff from Ontario’s JHM and MJ Adamo from Long Island, it’s a transatlantic throwdown.
7- Easter
Ending things on a high note—well, more like an explosive, in-your-face metal finale. This track screams with pure anger at hypocrisy. Vocal slaps from Teddy Head, with some backing from Fods Ez and Rob. BOOM.
Looking back at this journey feels like finding an old mixtape—familiar, nostalgic, but with a new shine. Each track tells its own story, blending the past with the present. It's been a wild ride, and whether you’ve been with him since the 90s or just discovered The Fods, there’s something here for everyone.
But hey, enough talking. Crank it up, and let the music do the rest.
