Fashoda Crisis
Fashoda Crisis were born kicking and screaming into the creative vacuum that is Southend, Essex, in April 2005. A frothing three headed abomination against nature that infuse anarchic alt rock paint-stripping noisemongery with melodic pop sensibilities whose manifesto is to pour scor... Read More

STN Albums Of The Year no.15: Fashoda Crisis ..There's a distinct shortage of compromise about Southend trio Fashoda Crisis. Herein someone is described by articulate berserker in chief Sim Ralph as "a Ralph Steadman illustration of a man" and Vernon Kay's skin is worn while "on my knees wanking like a primate". With a song named, with permission, after a Stewart Lee line and a sound hewn from the full frontal electric shock trio cliff face of Mclusky and Shellac, Him Make They Learn Read (which, by the way, is classed as an album as that's what they call it, despite being seven tracks and ...Sweeping The Nation16 December 2011

Fashoda Crisis – Him make they learn read ..True story: a jellyfish stung me in Tampico and I couldn’t feel my leg for a whole day. It also burnt like hell and it gave me a rash. There’s nothing as enraging as an itch you can’t scratch. No, … Continue reading →sloucher.org8 December 2011

Fashoda Crisis - The Berry Brown Face Of Rob ..We really thought we'd blogged this, or something from this album, in August/September as we were listening to it a lot at the time, but it turns out we didn't and release got held back until December 12th anyway. We could have been ahead of the pack for once there! That's not to suggest hanging on has diluted in any way this splenetic, vitriolic post-Falkous (and they've played with FOTL) magnificence from the Southend trio's second album Him Make They Learn Read , driving a steamroller through the youth's popular culture until it splits ...Sweeping The Nation21 November 2011

Fashoda Crisis - him make they learn read [E ..There are bands that can steal a show from a decent headlining act. There are some groups that can leave an audience struggling to walk due to power and level of intensity they play at. *Fashoda Crisis* rise beyond this. But not every band can make you listen to an album in your room alone. The...Alt Sounds11 November 2011

Tracks of our year IIDinosaur Pile-Up - Summer Hit Single [ Myspace stream ] [ YouTube ] For about two weeks they were at the vanguard of the New Grunge movement, but when that passed they were revealed as just plain great Dinosaur Jr devotees who do it better than most. Anyone else think there's a melodic similarity to Grandaddy's Summer Here Kids? Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move [ Spotify ] [ Myspace stream ] [ YouTube ] Such a glorious take of a certain sphere of 90s R&B; that when Solange Knowles covered it she pretty much copied Amber Coffman's delivery. Obviously not that straight-up a take, not when Dave ...Sweeping The Nation25 December 2009

Fashoda CrisisI love mclusky. 'The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire' is one of my favourite albums of all time; there's just something about Andy Falkous' voice and lyrics combined with that raw, loud, thrashy guitar sound they had perfected that was incredibly addicting. They definitely had a unique kick about them, and ever since their disbandment in 2005 I have yet to find another bad who even come close in terms of style (yes, I know about FOTL...). Until now. For some reason, in 1898 the UK and France were having a half-assed ...Not Ed's Blog30 April 2009

The shock of the newWe have this massive ongoing list of Myspace addresses that every so often we like to dip into and see if anything genuinely excites us. More often than not we just end up wondering why on earth we ever thought to put that on the list. Oh, quite a few of them this pruning around. Here's some more new names, or at least they were new when we listed them, to conjure with. We thought we'd written about Penny Broadhurst before, but apparently not. Leeds based Broadhurst used to be, and sometimes still is, a performance poet and ...Sweeping The Nation19 March 2009
