Bandcamp will forgo its share of sales for a 24-hour period this Friday, May 1. The initiative will also repeat on June 5 and July 3, and will last from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PST time on all three days (8am UK time). If any key workers who would like a copy of the album free of charge they can email [email protected] and receive a download.

“I’m really proud of this one, it’s the final part of our Live Trilogy. Kozfest was a very special gig for me because we’d cancelled the previous year as it was during my cancer treatment, I was literally having surgery the same day. I think the album really captures the joy of actually returning and playing to such a wonderful crowd. Any funds raised from the album will go towards covering costs of keeping the band going.“.
Matt Stevens (guitar)

“This is The Fierce & The Dead on full tilt boogie – loud, chaotic and having a good time. After an 8hr journey we were welcomed into the hallowed grounds of Kozfest and got on with the task at hand. Everybody was there to enjoy themselves and you can hear that energy in the recordings. A good crowd makes a great show and the audience at Kozfest made the gig one of our best. Might not be the cleanest performance but who cares, right?”
Kevin Feazey (bass).

‘I was looking forward to Kozfest for months. I’d heard it was a great place to be for the atmosphere and all the bands on show. When we arrived we were not disappointed. Tucked away on one of the most beautiful hill sides you could imagine, the stunning panoramic views were bettered only by the good feeling the place was brimming with. The show was so much fun to play too, so in all, it was great experience all round. Thanks so much to everyone that was there!!’
Steve Cleaton (guitar)

Quotes

“The Euphoric is aptly named due to its uplifting blend of psychedelic and epic instrumental anthems”
Circuit Sweet

“A Bladerunner soundtrack created by psychedelic stoners with a penchant for synthwave, King Crimson and Black Flag”
Classic Rock Magazine UK.

“Comes with the fuzzed out edge of a stoner rock classic”
Real Gone Rocks

“They manage to cement themselves as current leaders of a new kind of progressive music, where the past is unshackled and a new urgency is added…King Crimson partying on down with Hawkwind and The Stooges while Mogwai loom menacingly in the background.”
Echoes And Dust

“Boisterous, instrumental Post-Prog…the looming shape of weird s*** to come ”
Classic Rock Magazine
