F. P. G. Punk Jazz: The Fusion of Rock and Jazz-Rock Styles



In the nineties of the last century, the direction of punk rock gained great popularity among young people. Consider the biography of one of the soloists of such a team, which continues to tour successfully and record new albums. Starting XI musical group F.P.G was formed in 1993. It included:


In the new punk band, no one really knew how to play and sing. Initially, the team did rehashing of English-language songs. The group's first appearance on the mass stage took place in 1995. The performance was almost spontaneous; The performance of the second song was interrupted due to the mute.




F. P. G. Punk Jazz



Anton Pavlov and his team performed on the same stage with popular and extravagant groups. Among them: "Naive", "Cockroaches", "Orgasm of Nostradamus", "Hives", "Va-Bank", "Psyche" and many others. In the winter of 2005 and autumn of 2006, the punks played several concerts together with the idols of their youth - The Exploited.


The musician says about his childhood that it was bright, not sharing positive and negative points. According to the artist, his maturity appeared in his youth with the development of punk rock. This direction includes not only impudent and brutal behavior on stage, but also the expression of those feelings that accumulate in the soul, albeit not in a completely traditional, but quite accessible way.


The creation of a punk band, one might say, began with joint drinking. In 1993, after another drunkenness with "Jesus" from the "Cherny Kultprosvet", the idea was born to engage one of the band's songs on stage. Not the last role in this was played by the temporary absence of a full-time sound operator.


Moreover, despite frequent line-up changes, the band's musical direction has not changed. In particular huge contribution in the formation of a large Russian punk group, the British had The Exploited, And . These groups have been so influential Fair Play Gang, absorbed individual elements of these two groups, which later began to be presented in their own style.


Separately, it is necessary to highlight the list of groups with whom F.P.G. managed to play at joint concerts, this is a group, Elysium, Cockroaches, Alice, Naive and many others. Including, on their account there is a warm-up of the legend of punk rock - The Exploited.


The concert of the F.P.G group will give the metropolitan audience a truly summer and rebellious mood. After all, only here they will be able to meet again with one of the most popular domestic punk rock- teams.


Today, the music of this group is well known to many fans of this musical direction from our country. And this should not seem surprising to anyone, since the project has been pleasing music lovers with its creativity for many years. And it was created in Nizhny Novgorod back in 1993. From the moment of its foundation, the team began to work actively in the style of punk rock. But at the same time, throughout creative way bold creative experiments were not alien to her. Therefore, in the work of these musicians, one can often find compositions sustained in a slightly different style. Almost immediately after the creation of the team began to engage in concert activity. This helped him gain some fame among Russian connoisseurs of the genre. Wherein debut album musicians managed to release only by 1999. It should be noted that at that time many of their songs had already been included in the collections of domestic punk rock more than once. And the real glory came to the project only in the new millennium. And this is largely due to the fact that he was the first and only one in our country to work in such an unusual style as punk-jazz. From that moment on, his fame began to grow at a rapid pace. At the same time, the beginning and the number of his loyal fans noticeably increase. Therefore, tickets for the concerts of the F.P.G group began to be in great demand among the large Russian public. In addition, musicians began to be invited to various festivals and similar large-scale events. And their songs began to sound on the radio.


IN different time F.P.G were published on the Russian compilations "Punk Revolution", "Punk Shelling", "Punk Occupation", "Punks in the City", "BootsOnTheStreets" and the international compilation "WORLDWIDENOISEATTACK" released on the English label RETCHrecords. Albums have been recorded. In the summer of 1999 - The Motherland is waiting for heroes - .... "(Recorded by Sergei Retivin - the same sounder who interrupted the first performance!). In early 2000 it was released by SoundAgeProductions (Moscow). In the winter of 2000 - 2001, F.P.G recorded the 2nd album "Racers". It was also released on SoundAgeProductions in the summer of 2001. Unlike the previous one, the new album turned out to be more diverse and contains compositions in the styles: psycho, ska, hard-core, street-punk, as well as a remake in Russian of the songs "AceOfSpades" by The Motorhead and "My Way" by Frank Sinatra.


"Don't give up, don't give up!" It was these words that were sung in the already distant year 2000 by young and daring punks from Nizhny Novgorod. Then few would have thought that after fifteen years, F.P.G would become the face and driving force local punk rock. Punk rock is not like musical genre, namely uncompromising life principles and texts by Anton Pukh. Accordingly, music during this time has turned into an irrepressible natural element, which either explodes with a volcano of fire and covers you with energy, or smolders with coals, but still burns, you just have to touch it. The main criterion for the creativity of musicians has always been honesty - honesty to themselves and their listeners. It was this honesty, coupled with hard work and unwillingness to deviate from the once chosen path, that led the group to the top of domestic rock charts and festival venues. F.P.G never repeated themselves and were always prone to experiments (Punk-Jazz in our country, no one played exactly). That is why the new, fifth longplay is especially interesting. The album "Through Hatred" combines the most recognizable, best features many years of creative work of musicians. The listener will have to plunge into reflections on the eternal philosophical questions, smoothly waltzing from melodic to sharp guitar riffs. And although little is known about the new album, one thing can already be said for sure: it will be new songs and a new breath of oxygen to maintain the inner fire of all fans of the "Honest Playing Collective". 2ff7e9595c
