In 1995 they landed a berth on the New Musical Express Brat Bus tour. The band spent roughly a month in the studio. The disc was released by the Indolent label in the U.K. on May 27, 1996. It landed in the U.K. Top 40 amid a barrage of glowing reviews. Also on that bill were the Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers and proto-punk Iggy Pop.
Punk is such a crap word.
I'm suspicious of any band that calls themselves punk. The whole idea doesn't appeal to me. What does appeal to Richard and his mates is playing live. Ft Dolls look forward to blowing the doors off clubs across the U.S and Canada. And despite some of the dark themes explored on the record, there's no mistaking their delight in performing.
