It's been said so many times, but that movie is so damn good.  They got those skater brats down perfectly.

Nice website by the way, Fico.  Seriously, the information is easy to get to and there's no flashy stuff getting in the way.  I'll have to check out your songs when I get home.  My work computer doesn't have speakers.

Wow, if you had played that song for me and told me it was the next band that NME was going to hype, I would have had no problem believing it.

Wow! A compliment from the contrarian, the bonhomie almost brought a tear to mine eye.

cartelite.............hmmmmmmm
 
 sounds good...........

I'm quite surprised about the way the "DC scene" is viewed around here...I thought people were really into the garage aspect of most of the local well-known indie bands...I guess it works for us to have a bit of a different sound to separate us from the pack...must confess that the only local DC band I've seen and liked is Monopoli...heard some of Metropolitan's songs while in the studio..and they were good to..I don't dislike the rest of the well liked local bands I just haven't gotten around to listening to them...talking about the "Fort Reno" bands, etc...

WE HAVE UPLOADED ANOTHER SONG... go and check it out...

[Fico]

We have uploaded track 2 from the EP "Fleets".. the link is working (for those of you who had problems earlier)...

well, i tried to elicit some unbiased opinions on the robbie fulks chatboard, and sorry to say, this is the only one i got...
 
 Well, I'm not thrilled, but that's probably because I only like pure, old-fashioned country music. Nothing else registers. My idea of a good song (playing now) is I Know One, by Charlie Pride. They sound a bit like Train to me, sort of generic.

Why don't you try the NWA message board next and see what gangsta rap fans think?  It would be just as useful(less).

Sorry Fico, but I played your songs for my 2 year old daughter and she didn't really like it.  She said the Wiggles are better...even that Barney was better.  Sorry man.  Good luck with future endeavors.
 
 Personally, I really liked it....esp. song #1...quite good as I stated earlier.  But Sophie knows best.
