Rejectors of Western Hypocracy

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/17/2006
Band Website: fun-da-mental.co.uk
Band Members: A potential cast of thousands....however at the core, you will find Aki Nawaz directing traffic. He spends much time giving verbal annoyance to some, telling how it is for those in the margins. More concerned with politics than the music, but music is where he has chosen to use his politics. He seems to be told more often that not, to go back where he came from! So he must be doing something right! Has decided to call the album All is War. Since the release of the last album, There Shall be Love, it´s been nothing but war....everywhere we looked, up top, down south, over to the east, and the west, all blood, guts, lies and hence war.Shamil Khan, vocalizing capoeria Kashmiri type kinda guy....has spit some lyrics that are gonna get his ass chucked out of the country if he ain´t careful, and he doesn´t seem too bothered about that prospect either. This former front man for the Kaliphs...(yes, they did have a deal with the devil wearing a Pete Waterman mask) has tried his best to seek a calmer path, but come on, with the politics of today and yesterday being forcefed down your throat like you was on hungerstrike, what can you do? When you are a rapper, you come up with some of the best lyrics in your career, lay em down, and look forward to dropping them live where ever possible!Dave Watts aka DJ WattsRiot....hasn´t been seen since he got the fuck outta the Dodge last year...occasionaly sends an email or a wav.file to Aki. He said he would surface for live shows centered around the album....but apart from that, nothing at the moment. Apparently growing tomatoes, lettuce and onions in his new back yard somewhere off the coast of West Africa.Lloyd Sparkes....Man of Original Length and Strength....has written some hard hitting lyrics regarding the situation in The Sudan, due to come up for air around the time of album release.More news on the ever expanding list of band members to come....
Influences: The Good and the Bad and the Too Damn Ugly!
