Fila Fila are a band formed by Antony Fila and Wylin Kats, both members of Newport 'indiests'(-NME) Jump the Underground. After the demise of JTU, Antony and Wy wanted to persue a direction in which they had both been wanting to go for a long time, with Fila Fila they could fulfill their ambitions to write pure unadulterated pop music.
With a digital 4 track crammed full of acoustic ideas and vocal lines they have taken some ideas to the studio and have recorded 2 tracks with producer/engineer and now full time Fila Fila Drummer Carl Bevan (60ft Dolls). Carl shares the same ideas/ideals/passion for REAL, exciting pop music, so the relationship was a hit from day one.
Although the band are going to be lying low when it comes to the public consciousness for at least the next 4 months, new tunes will keep appearing here, reviews will spring from the woodwork hopefully, and more and more of you will share the same passion for there ideas. There is bigger and better to come. Watch this space.
