We have put together an album of 12 massive songs. It is a dark and diseased slab of meat.

Like all diseases, it is free. It is disturbing. It will ruin your speakers. It is just for you.

Just send us a message or a comment saying: 'GIMME ONE. GIMME ONE NOW, DAMN IT' and include your email address and, providing your inbox can stomach it, we'll fire it over to you.

Keep gurning.

Flesh-eaters, Livestock and Fleapits.

Verminous greetings from the Horned Gatekeepers of Rockville. As promised in our last digital emission, gigs aplenty are on the agenda for the festive season in honour of those of you who like a bit of MEAT and no MINCING in your mince pies - the first of these being this Thursday 15th November at The Fly on New Oxford Street.

The venue is but 2 minutes walk from Tottenham Court Road tube and Four Letter Friend will be stretching their barbarous limbs onstage at around 9:30pm.

More news to follow in the next couple of weeks about December's bulging sack of musical mayhem.

For a full sensual rock massage go to our homepage, turn your speakers up and listen while reading the latest review of our E.P. Four And Twenty Blackbirds. If you like the sound of this then reply to this email saying 'HIT ME' and we will send you a copy, be it digitally or by ye olde and decrepit postal service. No truer word was spoken:

Four Letter Friend 'Four and Twenty Blackbirds' EP (Self released). Okay apologies time I believe (and not for the first time in this missive you'll be unrelieved to hear). We haven't a clue how long this release has been around, we've managed to lose the press release - that is assuming there was a press release with it - there's a copyright date on the back stating 2006 which we'd be horrified to find that we'd actually had it that long (we doubt it). Anyhow the band have probably long retired and become tax exiles resulting from the shed loads of cash they've no doubt generated. Three tracks feature here - well that's what it says on the sleeve though in reality there's four - the more the merrier we say - opening with 'your money and your life' - sadly not a homage of sorts to the pantomime punk one with the white stripe of 'Stand and Deliver' fame but an unrelenting take no prisoners 3 minute holocaust of walls caving in fast gruesome swamp fest like gnarled grinding boogie very much in the style of the Melvins and Shellac with flashbacks of Big Black that's riddled throughout with a festering sickly edge like words through a stick of rock. Darker still are the trio of tracks that sit on the flip, dragged, near drowned and drip dried in an inescapable and impenetrable skin peeling claustrophobia and wired and nailed upon a thunderous tar lifting bass underpin swiped from under the noses of Queens of the Stone Age. The ominously titled 'children should not play with dead things' is a doctrine I wholeheartedly agree with and if they must then at least don't try to make mud sandwiches out of them. Replete with a grizzled snake charming groove this tension gathering bruiser blisters, burns and scars in equal measures wrapped in a twisted psychosis that prowls menacingly assuming mass of black hole proportions, while 'hangman's hymn' has a more measured approach about itself, not a million miles it has to be said from the Domes of Silence, this babe proving to be a darkly swept epic of brooding intent that recoils in a thickly enclosing bleakness where hopes are dashed and only the grim inevitable end game looms - a kind of Radiohead abandoned on the dark side if you like. Last up the aforementioned 'untitled' cut is pitted with an anxiety ridden exterior replete with stop / start dynamics which if we didn't know any better we'd have said it had fallen off the end of a session take for Nirvana's 'In Utero'. www.fourletterfriend.com

Fleshpots, Lounge Lizards and Fishwives.

Blessings upon those of you who purchased our single. Those who did not can still crowbar themselves out of hell by visiting this link and coughing up. http://www.shiftydisco.co.uk/mp3/140.html

Tomorrow night you can all witness our single LIVE, along with other musical menhirs, at the Purple Turtle - 1 minute from Mornington Crescent station, where we will be playing at the Emergenza Battle of the Bands. Onstage 9:30pm. Apparently there is some football match on tomorrow, but we're not too worried about turnout seeing as we know nobody from either Liverpool or Milan.

To celebrate the impending Ice Age and an inevitable return to Dickensian gloom, gallows and rabid pickpocketing there is, once again, a new song up on our Myspace page - 'Autobiography'- an anthemic roundhouse of a tune conjuring up visions of bankrobbers and outlaws. Enjoy - www.myspace.com/fourletterfriend .  

Take it easy and see you tomorrow.

Friends, Lovers and Freaks.

Shifty Disco Records, legendary indie label and home of such revelatory bands as The Young Knives, have chosen to release our brawny anthem 'Children Should Not Play With Dead Things' as a download single.

Launch day is this Friday 11th May and it will be available to purchase primarily, for the princely fee of 99p, from their website www.shiftydisco.co.uk . In order to buy it you'll need to briefly register with them - well worth the 30 seconds it will take to raise a finger to the Westlifes of this world and show your support of  'alternative' music. 

Please bear in mind that, if you were generous or unstable enough to buy approximately 4,000 copies, we would be assured a place in the nation's Top 40. This would be hilarious and, most probably, highly illegal, though the instigator would earn themselves a VIP pass to all FLF concerts and a place in the annals of rock.

Depending on how alternative you yourself are, you could join Shifty Disco's Download Club for £12 for a yearly subscription. A pittance for a key to the music world's thriving underbelly, I'm sure you'll agree.

We'll post a direct link on Friday for the download.

FLF will be headlining the Pittball Festival near Chard on 9th June. More news to follow.

Take it easy.

Ay up!

We played our first gig at the weekend. It was a very private affair deep in the heart of Somerset, hence you lot weren't invited! It was a small festival and all went swimmingly. The set was followed by hours of Cider drinking and frolicking by the lake until dawn.

But more importantly we have our first public dates booked. The first of which is at the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen. This will be our first proper gig and we'd love some support. So if you can do us a favour and pop down we promise we'll rock as hard as is humanly possible!

Take care peeps

FLF x
