On 24th February 2009, Faith No More officially announced their return to the stage. This was to take place on 12th June, though not without a 'rehearsal' performance at nostalgic location - Brixton Academy two nights before. Cue the video up and play along.

Following the success of 1989's The Real Thing, Faith No More were determined not to recreate the past, or bow to label pressure and create something merely accessible. They continued to push the envelope with 'Angel Dust' in 1992, and Midlife Crisis was the lead single. Often recognised in FNM song polls as one of the best, and regarded by Faith No More Followers as the quintessential FNM tune, M...

Arguably the most polarising album in the Faith No More catalogue, 'Album of the Year' was the first to feature guitarist Jon Hudson and had the most disjointed writing and recording process for the band to date. Join us as we compliment and criticise Ashes to Ashes, She Loves Me Not, Got That Feeling, Paths of Glory, Home Sick Home & Pristina. Side B talk commences at 33:30. Email: podcastcro...

Arguably the most polarising album in the Faith No More catalogue, 'Album of the Year' was the first to feature guitarist Jon Hudson and had the most disjointed writing and recording process for the band to date. Certainly the most critical discussion we've had of FNM thus far. Join us as we praise and poo-poo Collision, Stripsearch, Last Cup of Sorrow, Naked in Front of the Computer, Helpless and...

Roddy talk starts at 50:00. Keyboards are an intrinsic element in Faith No More's signature sound. Roddy Bottum's contribution to FNM throughout the catalogue has been undeniable. We take a look through their discography and Roddy's projects outside the band. This was certainly the most difficult episode we've attempted so far, we hope we've tackled it faithfully.

It’s time to discuss Faith No More’s sophomore release, Introduce Yourself! Right on! Their second album and last with Chuck Mosley on vocals, while often overlooked by the broader audience, IY holds a fondness in the hearts of the devoted FNM fan. The album reflects a maturing of the band’s overall sound but an end to that punkier edge. Many can’t listen past the wavering pitch of Chuck’s bellowi...

Recorded 28th April 1990, Faith No More were deep into tour commitments to promote The Real Thing, but with dates rolling into the following year, "You Fat Bastards" was released that August to satisfy the increasing demand for FNM material. Their only official live release, You Fat Bastards immortalised an exciting era for the band. The band's competency as musicians is on full display,...

A deep dive into Faith No More's third studio album, and Patton's first with the band - The Real Thing. Released 20 June, 1989 and celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, The Real Thing is the album that catapulted Faith No More into the mainstream. With Chuck Mosley's destructive behaviour leading to his dismissal from the band, Gould, Bottum, Martin and Bordin forged ahead. The songs were wr...
