Y’all don’t know what it’s like…

The Fak remind me of the music that I used to listen to when I was an angry teenager. Fuck conformity! My parents don’t understand me! I can’t get laid! Pass the eyeliner, please! You know what I mean. Spooky goth influences, sleazy bass lines, snarling nu-metal vocals and frequent distortion pedal abuse makes up The Fak’s sound. It’s a bit all over the place. Title track Girl Dancing shifts awkwardly between prog and nu-metal, with bursts of Fred Durst-style shouting/rapping. The Fak’s more adventurous electronica moments make things more interesting than your average proggy nu-metal fare, but get lost easily under more dominant sounds. The Fak have potential and will surely be more likeable once they pick one sound and stick to it.
