"Not What It Used To Be' video
FOTH were a multi-limbed entity birthed from the inner recesses of Sheffield city centre where they spent their time bogged down in strange and pointless vendettas. Their sound could best have been described as perpendicular, their personages as arsey and their physiognomies as foul.
They did this;

LIVE REVIEWS
...Not that you should ever expect anything less from Fury Of The Headteachers. In these parts, at least, they've established a reputation as a stellar live act, one whose frenzied double-vocal, twin-guitar assault can strip paint from a wall at 50 metres. The recording of debut album You Took A Scythe Home sounds consciously lo-fi but put them in a room like the smaller of The Leadmill's two and the result is an explosively noisy post-punk cocktail; like At The Drive-In trying and failing to play it straight or ¡Forward Russia! with everything double tracked. - Drowned in Sound

I’m just sending a little message around as we have a question and we want to ask our friends for input.
We cannot decide whether to release the Album in late May or June. We plan to tour from mid May and the argument is that if we release in June we can tie the release into the fan build from the tour, but it might get squashed with all the Summer and festival releases, however, if we release in May it might have less competition but we won’t have the tour working yet to promote it.
What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinion on this.
It’s been far too long since I last said hello and so much has happened I thought it about time we said did.
We’ve changed a lot, now we are an “UltraModern, post-electro rock, post-nu rave behemoth where Muse and Mansun meet a Massive Attack with Duran Duran pop sensibilities, louder guitars, and a stunning female front person/guitar virtuoso”, or so we have been told.
I’d love to know what you’ve been up to since we disappeared into the dark damp studio cave, let us know how it’s going, I’m always up for a chat! Be good, and if you can’t be good, be lucky ;-) Dawn xx Scarlet/blonde
We are playing our first headline slot at West Street Live on the 19th of January and we have picked an amazing line up, it would be grand if you could pop in. Cheers Russ
Hi myspace-friend! We’re releasing our second album ”The End of Quaint” October 8th 2008. On our site you can listen to the love song “You Will Burn” and the indie disco smash hit “Shaker”.
All the drinks we drank, and all the songs we sang, were they all lies? Cheers!
