I've been dying to write a post about these lovely Mancunians for a while now, but never really got round to it.

Ain't you glad I have no life?

FDA, or Federal Drugs Administration as they are also known, are an electro act with a difference. Rather than making sexy, grand electro fit for trendy New York clubs, they make short slices of idiosyncratic sunshine enough to actually make you LOL. Drawing influences from current affairs and referencing pop culture, (the recession and the whole Manuelgate fiasco being their latest offerings) this group of madmen create irritatingly witty songs with more than just a hint of Shaun Ryder. This is what music should be like; carefree and full of expletives.



Below is a video of theirs, for one of my favourite songs, 'Androgynoel.' If you're a fan of The Mighty Boosh or the effervescent Mowgli in flares Noel Fielding, then chances are you will laugh yourself silly at this, and aren't the cartoons sweet?

  1. Dear Maddie,

    I listened to several songs on your blog, for me it was good to hear some different tunes. Anyway I had heard of Soulwax awhile back and sure enough I have a few songs from their first album "Much Against Everyone's Advice" it cane out in 1999. They are a bit different from then but still good.

    Regards,

    Joseph
