About Me

From the late 90's "F.T.A." began as a group of friends getting together to perform a high school battle of the bands night. After the shows success they decided to create "Pang". Over the next three years "Pang" performed at random clubs in NJ including "Obsessions", "The Cove", "The Malt Shop", as well as random parties. After a difficult breakup over creative differences the once strong and promiseing "Pang" was no more. About 4 years passed and in Nov. of 2004 by a random chance in local passing three of the original four members were reunited and began F.T.A. Now more matured and in need to expand their artistic horizons, "F.T.A." has incorporated an ecclectic mixture of rock, punk, hardcore, metal, and folk rock to create an original sound. With their full length album currentlly in progress, "F.T.A." are an up n' coming and determined rock band, tearing it up soon at a town near you...we also like to smooch on each other's poopy holes.
