3 Feet High & Rising: Members of GEL, SICK SH*T & School Drugs Form NJ Fastcore/Power Violence Band FATF*K & Share ALL YOU CAN EAT


FATFUK are a New Jersey-based Fastcore/Power Violence/Glizzy Violence(?) band consisting of members from Jersey greats GEL, SICK SH*T, and School Drugs. It's Bobko/Bobby (@cloud_god_1) from GEL, SICK SH*T, and School Drugs on drums, Anthony/Tony (@drydog_) from GEL on guitar/vocals/bass, and Edgar (@thicc_an_tiredd) from School Drugs providing vocal effects. Zach Miller at NOISE WAR SOUND—who's, also, in GEL, SICK SH*T, and Brackish—recorded, mixed, and mastered FATFUK's debut release, ALL YOU CAN EAT, at Landmine Studios in Ewing, NJ.


We, actually, first heard about FATFUK when our friend and artist @simpsonsXcore posted about them in their Instagram Story, gushing, "Holy sh*t this rules. Fastcore/powerviolence from members of @schooldrugsnj, @gelhc, etc." along with the ALL YOU CAN EAT cover. Late last night, we got a chance to speak with Bobko himself, who shared a bit of information about FATFUK, via Instagram Messenger: "Alright, so—FATFUK loves hot dogs/glizzys more than anything. It's, actually, why we started it [to be honest,] as an excuse to get together and play fast music, honestly lol... We know each other from playing in bands together before, [by the way;] through School Drugs & GEL!"


"Also, totally wasn't kidding about the hot dogs, [by the way.] We used to make them at practice and they're all over the album cover haha. We might possibly have a bassist in mind, another friend of ours, but it's just us on the recording... Also, it was recorded at Landmine Studios by Zach Miller/NOISE WAR [SOUND, by the way]," Bobko continued. It's definitely a quick-strike release with 11 tracks completely done and over with within a matter or mere minutes. There's a cover of "BEHIND THIS TONGUE" from Infest's No Man's Slave (2002) nestled within ALL YOU CAN EAT, as well. Although, it's an extremely enjoyable release, especially, if you're into "punk, fastcore, hardcore, men's asses, p*ss, powerviolence, and New Jersey," as FATFUK's newly-minted Bandcamp page specifies. It's sounds like this is just the first offering we'll be hearing from FATFUK, so hold on to your hot dogs! FATFUK's ALL YOU CAN EAT is now available on a Name-Your-Price basis exclusively on Bandcamp.
