There was a thread about this band before the great Christmas purge of 2007.
Anyway the original thread inspired me to download their single Bright Tomorrow and it is fucking great.

Website
Fuck Buttons was conceived by Andrew Hung & Benjamin John Power in the winter of 2004, Bristol UK. Initially the group was born as an outlet for their nihilistic-noise tendencies but quickly, the two Fuck Buttons realised they could harness the use of noise as a tool to immerse and evoke. No longer afraid of melody or rhythm, the group started fusing all these elements to the point when drone becomes melody becomes rhythm.
*With their electric live performances sealing the notion that the two Fuck Buttons are attempting some kind of transcendence between the listener and the Universe itself, one could easily envisage ones psyches being shaken by the very rumbles of the earth's motions.'
Tribal beats and subtle beautiful melodies weave amongst contorting Technicolor drone-scapes while preaching distorted-vocals scream for dear hope herself� Fuck Buttons straddle you between the wall of sound that lies between the beginning of destruction and the end of birth. This grand noise will fondle you into a state of immersed euphoria.

They're fucking great! Can't wait for the debut.
If you feel like Horrrsing around in the Street, check out gmailz.
According to Amazon UK, LP has been put back until St Patrick's Day...
And someone has to write a repost to the only review on there...
This has to be a joke, awful name, awful ''music'', no talent whatsoever and any monkey could create the noises that they make. A waste of plastic, paper and time for those who listen to it. A lose-lose situation.
That person clearly has fantastic taste in music.

Tour announced tomorrow innit?
really?
sweet
The ATP show was ok. Would like to see them somewhere a little more intimate.
the club show i saw alongside atp was pretty bloody good, but in a way the big stage/big atmosphere/big sound at atp overwhelmed it for massive awesomeness.
then again was oxford art factory, not the best room, i'm sure a smaller room with a good sound would kill it.
ATP fucking owned because everyone was wrecked from being trapped on an island in ridiculously hot weather that everyone decided to go nuts once Fuck Buttons started. Awesome idea putting them on after Nick Cave.
I caught them early in the day style at Mt Buller.. would have preferred to have been more trashed. Lord knows I was trying.
yeah, later at buller would've been the best. Missed them at atp syd due to having seen them twice that week.
no we didn't nony you doofus! We stood there in awe for the whole set. TOUR FUCKEN!!
Haha, and to think I shared a chalet with you people. Losing cred ever since!!
oh even better, i saw them three times.
guess the syd one didn't stand out like the others.
anyhow, how about that local sports team eh?
so about that tour... who's bringing 'em out? you got sources Morris?
cue: tumbleweeds (not the band)
so I guess that tour didn't get announced
:(
methinks someone was mis--informed
fuck. shouldn't have read this thread.
now i have disappointment without expectation.
There is a free Daytrotter session available to download;

thanks ProDelgado!
Just to register my love in this thread.
Fuck Buttons' Benjamin John Power's side project, Blanck Mass
''His eponymous debut album, a collection of tracks loosely themed around cerebral hypoxia and the beautiful complexity of the natural world , features ten songs which were written, recorded and self-produced at home in London between Summer and Winter 2010. An interstellar journey that defies classification, revealing itself further and further with each listen; offering more with each visit.''
