Back in the 70's and early 80's the 'Fizzy' or the
FS1E as its Japanese makers Yamaha called it, was a bike popular with
the teenage yoof of the day. In the year 2014 FS1E are a band of
yesterdays youth refusing to grow old gracefully or otherwise. Their
debut single and theme song, (if I can call it that) fs1e is a blast
of pure post Brit pop prog punk. It roars down memory lane with a
carefree fuck you abandon while also stopping and starting along the
way. (rather like a ride on the back of a fs1e.) It's a road trip
through the past and into the present with no rose tinted motorcycle
goggles on for protection. It's got clever lyrics that observe and
reflect, there's a great Jam reference were down in a tube station in the morning, full of City workers “there's no smell of brown leather, just the
scent of money calling” It's three and a half sublime minutes of
rather brilliant quirky, catchy pop music that could only be Made In
Britain. For 'fans' of XTC, The Stranglers, Blur, The Kinks, and
for anyone that fancies a blast of something fresh and completely different.
Pay No More Than 79p. Available from I-Tunes and Amazon.
“Life is so short for everyone. Never mind! What might have been is what you've seen,what you've done. Life is so short for everyone. Get out there and have some fun!” - FS1E
