Fashoda Crisis formed in Southend in early 2005 as a violent reaction to the haircut bands and scenesters cluttering up what would otherwise be a thriving music scene.

Described as a cross between Fugazi and Queens of the Stone Age, they combine wit, intelligence, skronky guitar riffs and extremely loud noise to create a unique sound that will peel back your skull and nest in the warm sticky goo of your subconscious.

'Angrier than a really big wasp with cancer on crystal meth at an anti-capitalist demonstration, this Essex quartet share their hometown with the talentless sixth form trouser pocket flurry that is The Horrors. Thankfully, however they sound fuck all like them. With an acerbic din so melodically brutal that you half expect a string to rip itself from a guitar and tighten odiously around your neck, Fashoda's rabid vitriol tramples anybody foolish enough to look at them a bit funny. Superb.' - Another Late Night Magazine

"Anyone missing the fiery punk and scabrous wit of Mclusky should get in touch with this lot immediately. Self-labelled skronky guitars and itchy megaphone vocals combine to make a band who sound ready for release, as well as righteously furious at the state of the world. In a land of mediocrity, Fashoda have somehow escaped." - Channel 4 Teletext Music

"Brutal but catchy...filthy rock never sounded so classy" - Underachiever Magazine
