FTK came to life in early 2018 after Curtis Taylor and Ciaran Egan drafted two new members; Thomas May (guitar), Andy Fletcher (bass), into their previously named project ‘Feed The Kid’. Writing and recording throughout the Spring and Summer at MMB Studios in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, the newly-formed group of individuals set out to express their shared concern of the distinct lack of morals in today’s modern society, and voice those opinions under the ‘FTK’ banner.
“Part Gorillaz, part Simple Minds, it’s dense and hypnotic, reaching back into promising-you-a-miracle eighties with a swirling psychedelic wash, giving it a polished, ‘now’ edge” – LOUDER THAN WAR by Nigel Carr
“Bluesy psych… helmed by Taylor’s rough-hewn vocal that governs the retro-esque melodies which reverberate in a haze of hypnotic layers. “ – LITTLE INDIE BLOG
“Curtis’ voice is instantly recognisable… it’s controlled and targeted and gives the songs an immediate impact” – EVEN THE STARS by David Brown
