60's Garage Sounds

Me, Myself, and I

James Feakes (vocals/guitar), Jack Jewers (bass), and Jack Holdstock (drums) pump out a hurricane of fuzzed-up guitar, battered-to-death drums and a howling vocal that would put the Baskervilles pooch to shame, this is the sound of The Federals. The boys met at school and had a shared love for The Stooges, BRMC and Jack White, they threw all these influences into the melting pot and on a summers day in 2008 out came The Federals. Before the year's end, the British three piece had recorded an EP with producer Zane Keenan. A UK tour with Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong followed and to top it all off Steve Lamacq gave the band’s debut his record of the week accolade.

Summer 2009 saw the band supporting Team Waterpolo, Nine Black Alps and opening The Lovebox Festival in London’s Victoria Park.


"Noise that is as catchy as it is dirty"
Martin Cordiner, The Fly


“If fuzzed-up garage is your bag then you are in for a treat. You will struggle to find any group as fuzzed up as THE FEDERALS.”
