The latest vidspot edition is ready. Here it is:
Nice1!
Sorry for the lack of communication recently but it's for a good reason, and that reason is we have been in and out of the studio finishing off 'P.R.A.I.S.E M.E' and you lot will be happy to know it is sounding great and we're extremely satisfied with it.
As you may have noticed we didn't fulfill our promise to commence with the free tracks and newsletter upon the dawn of the New Year and now you know why. We're going to start this years issues from February which is newsletter every two weeks along with a free track. The VidSpot frequency has changed too and unfortunately it won't be every fortnight anymore but every month so next one is due in February.
Nice one!
F.O.A.K

Safe people. It's been a long time coming and now after many weeks of work the F.O.A.K website is live and official!
To compliment the new site and to give you something to listen to, we have added three new songs which you won't have heard before. Hour glass has been added too because it's simply a fan favourite and you can expect fresh material to be added on a regular basis.
The two songs 'Bang 'Em Out' & 'Entrance theme' are pieces dedicated to Muay Thai kickboxing and we did them for our friends and affiliates, British champion Lee 'Spyder' Green & Craig Rose of Higher Level Thai Kick.
Please take a few seconds to sign up to our newsletter on the right hand side. When you sign up you'll receive a link to a free track straight away. Every fortnight starting from October 22nd you'll receive a newsletter with updates and another FREE SONG. These aren't just quick spits put together in a flash, they are bangers for you to play and show all your mates. We'll stack you up nicely with new material every fortnight to tie you over until the album release, because we know you crave our sound!
Browse through our content, have a gander at the photos, videos and gig listings. The official 'Welcome To My City' video featuring KT Forrester is dropping this weekend so look out for that.
Get onto us on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and all other social networking sites.
