F.Y.P

A great, humorous, and essential punk rock-band from Torrance, CA (a suburb of L.A.), F.Con.P (aka Five 12 months Strategy) was the brainchild of Todd Congelliere, who wrote a lot of the tunes and was the only real constant member through the entire band’s constantly rotating solid. F.Con.P released several classics in Dance My Dunce and Bathroom Kids Breads, though almost all their information are worthwhile. So far as impassioned, dysfunctional, militantly geek punk rock and roll, Congelliere struck a chord with punks in the understand. His friend Hal Badal and he had been also in a position to eke out a full time income using their small but esteemed punk rock and roll label Recess Information, which is in charge of releases from outstanding punk bands just like the Dwarves, the Crooks, as well as the Crumbs, in addition to most of F.Con.P’s produces. A scraggly searching punker wearing Greyhound-bus-depot-style styles, Congelliere has created his fair talk about of memorable, amazing punk music. Before he was a punk, Congelliere was an expert skater and 1st experienced punk rock and roll via his skater pals. Having a skating organization endorsement, Congelliere produced some dough and bought himself a four-track, a acoustic guitar, and Fisher Cost drum machine from Playthings R Us. Therefore came F.Con.P’s initial primitive recordings in the first ’90s, that are most notable for his or her silly game titles, My Nieghbors Is Stoopid, End Your Snacks, and Guido, Where ARE YOU CURRENTLY? Ultimately, Congelliere scraped a music group collectively and released F.Con.P’s hallowed second recording, Dance My Dunce, in 1994. (Their 1st was Imperfect Crap, a assortment of their early 7″s.) Dance My Dunce includes classics like “Holiday Bible College” and their cover from the Plaything Dolls’ “My Girlfriend’s Dad’s a Vicar,” along with the feisty “IT ISN’T My Fault YOU PREFER Air Source,” and “Children That Play Deceased,” an ode to mean parents. Sean Cole became a member of the music group as drummer in 1995 and trapped around on different instruments much longer than every other F.Con.P member beyond Congelliere. F.Con.P refined and perfected their rants into definitive tracks on Toilet Children Bread, made by Blag Dahlia from the Dwarves, an album that will not absence for melodies or smart choruses. Between their last two produces, My Guy Grumpy and Playthings That Eliminate, F.Con.P bassist and essential Recess Records relative Joe Ciauri dedicated suicide by jumping off a 150-feet cliff in San Pedro. Ultimately, F.Con.P returned, however the suicide as well as other factors, such as for example their enthusiasts’ requests to try out the music off Dance My Dunce advertisement nauseam, resulted in serious burnout. Therefore, Congelliere and primary F.Con.P member Sean Cole made a decision to borrow the name off their last record (like their heroes the Descendents, who became All) and gave delivery to Playthings That Wipe out in 2000, a music group that sounds, very well, not so not the same as F.Con.P.
