“Of all the weird scum-hunch folk ensembles I’ve heard over the last few years, Foot Village may be the most chaotic. Created and staffed by members of some LA underground heavies, this is a rather masterful effort, even when things are a little more controlled.” - WIRE

FOOT VILLAGE are a thunderous drum-n-shout assembly from Los Angeles - a thick forest of whirling limbs beating out rhythms for whispers and hollers to leap and dive through. Featuring members of Gang Wizard, Friends Forever and the infamous International Voice of Reason, Foot Village are pure hardcore spirit without the spark of electricity.
Erecting civilisation with drums and voices alone, Foot Village are the first nation built after the foreseeable apocalypse. Don’t get this self-imposed restraint confused with some neo-luddite stance however, as Foot Village only want to inspire others with the wide potential of rock music. Anything becomes possible if you have an idea to run with.


“percussion, played as if teasing a knot of wool into freedom; a combination of rhythmic histrionics and cataracts of chafing abandon. Yes, I have a feeling this “Foot Village” is going to be huge. 10/10 ” Andrew Zukerman - FOXY DIGITALIS

“Hair-raisingly direct, with drums of absolute death, Foot Village are instantly mesmerizing. 8/10” - ROCK SOUND

“anarchic percussive throwdown for the cosmic disco of the mind.” - MOJO

“primitive beyond repair.” - PLAN B

“tribal percussion smackdowns, jungle growls, and cuckoo-house ululations” - PITCHFORK
