Since the release of their debut EP/CD ‘Dance To This!’ in 2011, F.O.D. has become a household name in the Belgian punk rock scene. The band built a steady live reputation with their catchy melodies, much in the vein of what legendary nineties predecessors have delivered us over the past few decades. Their first video, the instant poppunk anthem ‘Carry on’ became a scene-classic.
The second and third album ‘ONTARIO’ and ‘TRICKS OF THE TRADE’ got released on record-labels in Europe, US, Canada and Japan. It paved the path to the international punk rock scene and set the bar to higher expectations.
2017: the fourth album ‘HARVEST’ got F.O.D. to be more personal, serious and aggressive sounding. Their single ‘Crew You’ became a hit on Spotify and in the live-scene.
The same year “Hope For A Moment” by F.O.D.& Friends was launched , a single for charity (featuring Roos Van Acker, Fleddy Melculy, Off The Cross, Flatcat, …), a part of the Belgian MUSIC FOR LIFE action.
The widely anticipated fifth full album “SLEEPVILLE” was released on 20 March 2020 at the start of a global pandemic! This story telling (double) album ignored the boundaries of punk rock and took his listener on a musical journey accompanied by an actual book. Due to covid it unfortunately couldn’t get the release-party and tours it deserved.
In 2021 F.O.D. reached radio-airplay in Belgium with their version of ‘Perfect Match’, a song of another Belgian band Triggerfinger and F.O.D.’s ‘Soundtrack Of My Life’ appears in ‘Geldwolven’, a Belgian TV-series on VTM/Streamz. There’s some good news for techno as well: DJ Wout releases a dance-version for ‘Welcome To The Show’. In 2022 the band announces to go in hibernation for a short while.
2024 will see birth of F.O.D.’s sixth album “The Once A Virgin Club”, released on Sbam Records. It will bring the band back to its routs with fast, catchy, melodic punkrock-songs filled with harmonies! With big plans on the horizon, the band is gearing up for an extensive European tour, inviting audiences to experience their raw and authentic sound once again.
13 years after their debut, F.O.D. has toured around the world, with highlights such as a touring Canada, Japan, Europe and supporting SUM41, Lagwagon, Satanic Surfers, No Fun At All and Frenzal Rhomb . F.O.D.’s steady rise brought them playing main stages at the major Punk rock festivals all over Europe.
