1.GIVE US A SHORT BAND BIO. WHO ARE FUCK THE FACTS? WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND WHEN FOUNDING FUCK THE FACTS?

• I started FTF in January 98 as my "solo" project. I used to play in alot of death metal bands, but i had so many other musical interests and i couldn't use them in my bands. So, i started FTF to do whatever i want musically; grind, noise, jazz, disco... the idea is still the same now. The only difference is now there's 4 of us doing whatever we want. The current FTF line up is Mel Mongeon, Matt Connell, Tim Audette, and myself.

• We've only had 2 people part ways with the band, and it's always been the same reason. Basically, it's a responsiblity being in FTF, it's alot of work and you have to make sacrifices like weekends away from home and band practises, etc...  It's not for everyone, and it wasn't for our past members. We've never had problems with having the same vision cause we always us everyones influences and ideas.

• I just like the way it sounds. I didn't even think about the fact that there's a swear word in it, and i don't really care. I think it is the best description of the band and what we are trying to accomplish with it, which is whatever we want. We've had certian problems with posters in smaller towns and such, but nothing ever really bad. We've even gotten some free press in local papers and radio cause of how obscene our name is! ha! As for making a "career" we've never had a problem with any of the labels we've worked with, and we're totally happy with it. If someone has a hard time liking us just cause our name isn't ordinary enough, then hopefully they won't like us cause our music isn't "ordinary" enough either.

• I would have to say that at this point in time we definitly lean alot more to grind. I've been calling us "Experimental Grindcore" lately, but who knows, next year we could be "Industrial Ska Violence". It's all gonna depend on who's in the band, and what we wanna do. Just don't call us late for dinner. I dislike AC/DC, i don't know why, but i find they're sound very annoying... other then  that just racist, facist and homophobic bands make my shitlist. Bands i'm enjoying at the moment are; Estradasphere, Painkiller, Contrastic, Nembrionic, Pig Destroyer, Blood Duster, Burnt By The Sun, and many many more... i love music and discovering new bands is always great fun.

• Well i think people should do whatever the fuck they wanna do. If you wanna mix every style of music on the planet into one, go for it, or if you wanna start an Iron Madien cover band and only play old school metal you should do that as well. People seem to get to frustrated when people are just doing what they enjoy. If you like it, listen to it, if you dont..then don't buy it. Personally, i like music without limits and i think mixing genres is great fun... but it's not for everyone. I think the closest genre to metal is hardcore, actually new hardcore is metal... nuff said.

• We recorded "Mullet Fever" in Fall 2001. Most trax were written off the floor in one night, and later we added vocals and other little things to finish it off. It was really different then any other recording we've ever done, but we are all very happy with the way it turned out and we've been getting great response. That's one of the advantages to having our own recording studio, it really let's us experiment alot. Prior to that we recorded "Four0ninE" a five song 3" cd which was recorded when we were a 5-peice soon after we started jamming as a band. Just before that a split with Ames Sanglantes was recorded with us as a 3 peice (before our singer and bass player joined).. this recording is one of the most experimental things we've done as a band, it was a 15 minutes ambient noise metal song. Before that all the recordings were just me; "Discoing The Dead", "Vagina Dancer", and "Fuck The Facts". Many other splits, etc.. have also been released over the years.

• Right now, we're working on a new album and at the same time working with our new singer. Mel joined us just as we started recording so now we're taking our time to let her learn all the new songs before we do her trax. We've also, be talking to other bands and labels about future splits and release, but nothing set in stone yet. We've been playing live regularly with a couple of  Canadian mini-tours in mind for the summer.

• Split albums are great cause it gets your music out to another audience, lot's of the time in another country. I've always enjoyed having our stuff out on splits and we'll keep doing it. We have about 7 split tapes, 2 split cdrs, and 1 split 7" out at the moment. I really enjoy our split 7" with Kastrat, they're a great band and it's the newest thing to come in so i still dig listening to it... Other great bands include S.M.E.S. (who we've done 2 split tapes with), Mastectomia, Long Dream Dead, Ames Sanglantes, Conure, Cult Of The Damned, Retch, and many more...

• Well, when it was just me it was more of just a recording project. Later when i started jamming with Matt (drummer) is when we could think of making it a live band.  I always knew i wanted FTF to play live as well, i just had to hook up with the right people to make it happen.

• I'd probably move to a cottage, drink beer, smoke pot , read books  and write.

• Mainly, ignorance. Hating people cause they are different seems to be the worst thing humans still do.

• Sleep.

• Humans are naturally greedy, thus all temptations that come with greed like sex, money, etc...

• Like a phone call at the end of summer this Canadian latindiscogrindfusionfolkcore band will melt the hearts of children world-wide and teach us all a lesson in friendship and genital poison ivy infections. title: 16 things you never wanted to know, but feel compelled to read about Fuck The Facts.

• Actually, just last night i watched a movie called "Ratopolis". It was a documentry about rats. It gives you a close up look into the life of rats and why they do all the things they do. There was some fuckin' gross shit in there and it was killer educational.

• Yo! killer thanx to you for your interest in FTF, and thanx to all that took the time to read this. Like i said, we got a brand new split 7" with Kastrat out on Nuclear Assualt/Zas!
