Dirty rock n’ roll, that’s what its all about. Low slung
guitars, an 80’s hair metal Kramer wielding bassist and a drummer who
insists on beating the crap out of everything he touches. Music that’s
devoid of filler. Sometime in 2001, Auckland New Zealand, a bad ass bassline
was played over the telephone between the founding members of the feds
that resulted in the song ‘riding low’ and the birth of the Feds.
This very first song now appears on a compilation soon to be released
in Europe by 8 Records from Italy. The band recently released a
3 song EP that received critical acclaim from StonerRock.Com
and other independent record labels and publications from around the world.
Formed with the intention of playing maximum rock n’ roll, the Feds
music can be described as groove laden and punchy. As one reviewer put
“Monster Magnet enthusiasm with a grainy KISS outlook”.
Throw in the sleaziness of Kyuss, the dynamics of Tool and
the melody sensibilities of Kings X and you’ve got music that’s
tighter than Jane Fonda’s butt yet groovy and memorable. The Feds
have spent the last year perfecting their material and are currently in
their studio working on their first full-length album due for release
sometime in July 2003. If the reviews
are anything to go by, the album will be a slammin’ balls-to-the-wall
rock n’ roll affair.............Rawk On!
