Fokkewolf

Fokkewolf was a garage/punk rock band from England.
Formed in 1996. Darren Smith (Daz) and Paul needed a guitar player after splitting another band going nowhere. Nick Clark, a sparring partner from the old hardcore days fitted the bill perfectly (they played briefly together in Forcefed). After a few gigs they cut Bullet Festival EP in the same year but didn't release it. 
Played a rack of gigs in the UK. More recording followed. This resulted in the Death Ray EP. Some frenzied live activity accompanied the record. Then came the legendary Kick Arse EP, inspired by the film 'Brain Dead'. A track from it was put on a Frank Records comp which spread the word about the band around Europe. The EP was played on the Peel show in the UK, and they were invited to do a session by the great man himself!! 
Then Barny from Incognito asked them for a record for his anniversary release series. This spawned the Porno Rocker anthem. 
The band then split for various personal reasons, and things lay fallow for a while. All seemed dead until founder member Smith reformed the band with new members and tied up some loose end songs written before the split. That's it!

Peel first played the group's material in October 1997 via the Death Ray EP. He would play further material from the group, including a session they recorded for his show in 1999 and nominated their single, 'Kick Arse For The Lord E.P.', as one of his records of the month for November 1998 (Peel's Record Box).
