You know a band has to be one of the most incredible live outfits in the country when they get signed immediately after a show in the time it takes to pop outside for a cigarette break.

The camera is shaky and the narrative is loose, but the spectacle of Dan’s Rambo-style blaze of glory at the mercy of two banana-wielding monkey detectives is alone worth the price of admission. The video was shot around Fuzzbrain with a small group of friends and family on a sunny day in February. ![]() ![]() We all felt this new creeping influence of bands like Thin Lizzy and Ramones which gave Fed Rock a different energy, while having a song in the set that said what we felt about certain bands we played alongside always made playing with them that little bit more bearable. We were moving from Ben’s studio (Fuzzbrain in London) to small venues for the first time and our set was still heavily weighted on the side of stoned jams like Tall Boots (from 2020 EP ‘Promo Tape’) and Head Case (from 2022 EP ‘Songs of Love’). It was one of the first songs written for the album and has always been a highlight of our set, and I think the faster pace of the song reflects the time it was written – the summer when we played our very first shows. We wrote this song about a lot of the bands we were seeing around us when we first started gigging in London. With ‘Fed Rock’ the band doubles down with another foot-to-the-floor bolt of energy, bound by dueling guitar interplay, in a song that ultimately became a bonding experience. Accompanying the launch of ‘Fed Rock’ is its riotously surreal, homespun DIY caper. The band’s self-titled debut album is set for release May 12th via Third Man Records on LP, CD and cassette. Whilst the band’s introduction to the new album was led by guitarist and vocalist Karim Newble, this time out co-frontman Linus Munch continues that journey, taking on vocal duties for ‘Fed Rock’. ![]() Island of Love are today announcing their brand-new single ‘Fed Rock’, the follow up to last month’s lead double A-side single ‘Grow / Blues 2000’.
