Track: Island of Love – ‘Fed Rock’
Another bedroom punk anthem is on the horizon from this London-based trio, promoting a rowdy 3 minutes of good fun and head-banging rhythms. Accompanying the launch of the single is a homespun DIY caper and the release of their self-titled debut album on 12th May.
Album: ‘Island of Love’ (Out 12.05.23)
Label: Third Man Records
What They Said: “We wrote this song about a lot of the bands we were seeing around us when we first started gigging in London. It was one of the first songs written for the album and has always been a highlight of our set, and I think the faster pace of the song reflects the time it was written – the summer when we played our very first shows. We all felt this new creeping influence of bands like Thin Lizzy and Ramones which gave Fed Rock a different energy while having a song in the set that said what we felt about certain bands we played alongside always made playing with them that little bit more bearable.”
