About Me


The world is a business.
Yes, we have internet and big technological advances but some things never change. Watch the above video.
2009 has seen the world economy crumble due to the unethical practices of businessmen and corporate oligarchy. The current administration with the assistance of Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, has reached out to the Frodus Conglomerate International for aid. Calls were made, doors were closed and numbers adjusted. After weeks of vicious negotiation both parties agreed on a proper course of action.
The Frodus Conglomerate International will address the public for the first time in 10 years on Saturday March 21st, 2009 at 4:35 pm in Austin, Texas. Austin will be the first of several public forums to address current global conditions forewarned by the FCI in years past. The Conglomerate has employed Liam Wilson of the Dillinger Escape Plan to supply bass guitar for this address while Nathan Burke organizes his North-West Contingency. We are the economic police.... Future: Unknown: Plans & Schemes
Thank you to Thrice for covering the Frodus song "The Earth Isn't Humming", a poignant song for these times... A message to Thrice: The FCI fully approves your reappropriation of this song and we thank you for accepting the implants that you have now willingly received.

The door stands ajar as the ghosts pass through the walls of the now empty facilities of what was known as the Frodus Conglomerate International. Within these wayward mists, sounds resonate throughout and images flash by. The thoughts: Frodus, a three-piece musical outfit from Washington, DC. Labeled once as the purveyors of 'spazzcore' and the warriors of 'mech-core'. Countless shows, countless releases, and constant reinvention.The populous that was and will be ask if the entity of Frodus shall resurface... musically, Frodus resurfaces constantly with the ebb and flow of solar flares and the recycling of all culture through generations. As a live experience, Frodus resurfaces as past-memories and future-probability/im-probability.The machines never died...

If you write to Frodus via this page it will be scrutinized by Frodus affiliates in Canada/Europa before being faxed to the founders of the FCI that you may be attempting to seek. Do not expect a timely response but accept responsibility for your actions.

Who is Frodus? Who was Frodus?

A concept. A meme . A secret-society. A punk band. A group of individuals striving to create something new and expressing disdain for the world as it was heading into a fast information obsessed corporate carcrash in the 90s. Questioning the fabric of society, the meaning of life and ultimately recording a musical therapy session as their final album "And We Washed Our Weapons In The Sea" with no shows, no big bang, no haircuts, no posturing. Just music.

You. Us. You are Frodus. We are Frodus. We are everyone. We are no one. Where we have failed, YOU WILL SUCCEED. You vs You or You vs. Them? Success in Paranoia. 9991, 1-9-9-9, 4888. Babel. CMD. FCAI in 2038.
