These songs were recorded quite a few years ago, sometime in the mid to late 1980s in La Habra, CA. and the band has long since been defunct. Newly resurrected by me, Ringo, of Vomit Mop fame; they are presented here, unedited and in their original format. Although I had no involvement with FNUH as far as playing, I did write with them although none of the songs featured here have any of my contributions. These mainly acoustic tracks were never intended for release and were basically songwriting excercises and therefore very raw and unpolished. Some were even first takes, but they still showcase the songwriting skills possessed by Jamie and Richard as well as being the only FNUH recordings that we could find - sort of like the Beatles Anthology if you will. They were recorded live with cheap mics and analog recording equipment - there are no filters, plugins, or anything digital on these recordings. Any effects that you hear are analog and were applied live. The piano that you hear is an ancient standup that we got for free sometime in the 1980's and brought back to the garage/studio in the back of my pickup truck - driving down La Habra Blvd. in my truck on a warm summer day with these guys in the back playing the piano and singing is a memory that is forever etched onto my brain. Although these recordings that you hear are acoustic, FNUH was a hard rocking band first and foremost and an experimental acoustic one second. Hopefully we will be able to dig up some lost electric FNUH for you too.
