In 2010 a bright new light in the PunkoMetal genre came into being as ex-members of Panic, Teenage Casket Company, The Daingerfield’s, Patchwork Grace and DIP came together under the banner of JD & the FDC’s. The quartet may have only been a unit since 2010, but they certainly haven’t been one to let the grass grow beneath them and they soon released their first EP ‘Never Gonna Stop’, quickly becoming an underground hit, and with headline and support tours following, the band have brought their enthusiastic live performances to the masses on stages throughout the UK. This new EP features three songs that show the band at its very best, with ‘Burn This City Down’ being taken from the bands forthcoming album ‘Recognise’, due for release next year (2012). The track itself is heads down no-nonsense rock n' roll big riffs and chunky bass lines, with an anthemic chorus that has become a band's signature. If this is taste of what’s to come from the new album then I for one can't wait to hear the whole album. Tracks two and three are two old favourites, first up it's ‘Stupid Music Played By Idiots’, a song that was first recorded some ten years by JD’s old band Panic and fits right in there with his new bands sound. Fast and furious modern British PunkoMetal. The final track is a real blazing cover version of Go West’s 1985 hit ‘We Close Your Eyes’, yes you read it right, as one of JD first 7’’ singles, this shows the bands dexterity and their ability to have fun with their music. Something that I think some of today’s bands sadly often seem to miss. Another band that deserves some recognition. In this cut throat business it seems the hard working bands don’t get the breaks they deserve, but here’s hoping 2012 turns out to be a good year for JD & the FDC’s and they manage to buck this trend. One to watch out for guys and girls! |
