The Fods Do Not Conform To Regulations

Written By Mike Greenblatt
The Fods

The Fods gotta be the only indie-rock band from both Jersey City and Cheshire UK. They’ve just completed the tenth and final song for their new Does Not Conform To Regulations album (the follow-up to their Don’t Argue.)  These dudes love the art of collaboration so all 10 tracks are with their musical friends. “I Don’t Hate It,” for instance (hear it below) is with Riot Gail Townsend of The Puncturists from Yorkshire UK. Artists from Florida, Oregon, Norfolk UK, Helsinki, Scotland, Switzerland, Montreal, Pennsylvania and Hertfordshire UK also lend their talents. As they like to say, “There are no rules, and there are no regulations.”
