Fed X were fortunate enough to grow up in the corner of the US that birthed such punk rock acts as the Wipers, Karp, Mudhoney, Lice, Gas Huffer, Unwound, Godheadsilo, Bikini Kill, Built to Spill, The Rickets, Kicking Giant, Fitz Of Depression, Trumans Water, The Waydowns, Nirvana, Irving Klaw Trio, The Mukulteo Fairies and, perhaps most importantly, Nickleback. We started our band in a small town in the corner of this corner of the US. We thrived in a community that produced such acts as the Narrows, Candy and the Hotdice, USS Horsewhip, The Cheeps, Jayhawker, Monomen, Bar Tabac, Gus and Katie and the Mighty Ghosts of Heaven, Reeks and the Wrecks, B-18, Racetrack, Yogoman, Cicadas, BeNT, The Party Favorites, The Crying Shame, Chuckanut Drive, GNS, Sharpie, and, perhaps most notably, Korky Lenker. We left this corner often and found ourselves in no man’s land with the punk rock acts the Last of the Juanitas, Drunkhorse, 400 Blows, Fleshies, The Cherry Valence, The Whip, Stab City Slit Wrists, The Bananas, XBXRX, C Average, the Friendly Champs, Party Time, Outhud, Monotonix, Japanther, Toys That Kill, Fireballs of Freedom, Shellshag, Big Business, The Pope, Birds of Avalon, Triclops!, Comets of Fire, Juanita Family and Friends, Stars of the Dogon, Early Humans, Red Fang, Mountain High, and, who could forget, The Mooney Suzukis. We like to take this time to take this time off. Thank you. Federaton X.

In a Totally, Transparent Scheme to Increase our "Direct To Consumer" trade, we're doing a Test Pressing Giveaway! That's correct, music fan, giving away the farm here. Who knows the value of these things. There are just six of these made per release, so they're pretty rare.
To get your mits on one head to our newly created WantageList http://groups. yahoo. com/group/WantageList/ and sign up, you'll be entered into a drawing for one of these seven test pressing. We've got: 3 of Big Business's Head for the Shallows LP, 2 of Federation X's Rally Day LP, 1 Drunk Horse In Tongues, and 1 of Fire Witch's Japan. The WantageList will be the first place to hear about new releases, limited edition stuff, Total Fest announcements and not a whole lot more.
For real dudes, just put out another record. Enough of this playing "hard to get" bullshit. You can do it over the interweb, it's easy. What, are you waiting for grunge to come back? More. Now.
Yes!!! I second that comment! I am sick of the bs too! Play Portland!!! Do a west coast tour!!! We love you and not everyone can go to Montana. However, if I did'nt work weekends, I would go just to see you guys play. And, yes, play all my favorite songs too just like at that one Dunes show (Bill).
