About Me |
|
| The world famous Fumes started out in 1989 in a garage on Spokane’s South Hill, a real stinky Garage so the naming of the band was as simple as the smell and the Fumes were born. Since those early days the Fumes have gone on to huge and thrilling heights. They were deemed the Dragster punk originators playing punk rock and roll at warp speeds and created a new brand of music that a whole host of others picked up on and kept the music pumping since. Fumes music is currently on Empty Records out of Portland Or. (famous 90’s Seattle Label) and can also be found on Scooch Pooch.. Epitaph EU. The Fumes have played with an amazing list of bands that is numbing to think about: Rev. Hortant Heat, Supersuckers, Mudhoney, Deftones, the Derelicts, Rocket from the Crypt, At the Drive In, The Meanies, Christ on a Crutch, Bloodloss, Bad Brains, The Offspring, The Gits, Gas Huffer, Zeke, Gutter Mouth, REO Speed Dealer, The Motards, Steel Wool, Sicko, Moral Crux, Zip Gun, Von Zippers, Cosmic Psychos, Poison Idea, Coffin Break, Sinister Six, New Bomb Turks, The Smugglers, AFI, Girl Trouble, DOA, No Means No, Jack Knife, the Humpers, Seaweed. . The Fumes: Rob and Norm are currently playing in the Blowouts, Dee is hanging loose and had been playing in DFA. Gus passed away this last spring 2006 and we will miss him dearly. Joining the Fumes is Jon Swanstrum rhythm guitar (Jon also currently plays in the Hooks and Foxy Moron and has also played in TFL, Seawolf and the Flies, just to name a few) Bill Gibbs on drums (Bill has played with Mang, Big Comb just to also name a few)also currently plays in Lalah's Drink and the Foxy Sluts . .. Our first two CD|LP's were recorded the the famous Phil EK you can check out Phil's page here http://www.philek.com/ek_disc_content.html Here's are review from our last CD|LP: The Fumes Pure Bad Luck Scooch Pooch | Epitaph EU Fine punk rock from the Fumes. As usual, they're playing monster truck punk, that is, there's a definite Mötörhead side to the music they play. Plus they have some killer "breaks" (the guitars on "Human Shield" sound like the Didjits in a battle royale with Led Zeppelin!). From the beginning, and through all thirteen songs, Pure Bad Luck is best described as a thirty-minute punk rock bobsled ride. The speed doesn't let up until the last song is played. "Disconnected," being the only break, but that's because they lay into this wicked, rocking chorus of "...don't tell me how to live, don't tell me what to think, my mind's been disconnected from you!" Awesome punk rock line! Then, it's right into "1234," "Flies" and "To Dumb to Die." They finish up with "Open Me," another blazing tune, but with added punk waa-waa that only adds to the fire! Generally, the songs don't let up, and after the album's over, one feels drained, as though all the frustration of the hour has been released -- just like a good punk record is supposed to do... -David Lee Beowulf ..
