Details
5th full length record by Northwest hard rockers Federation X. Founded in 1998, Fed X has played over 5 hundred shows in Europe, Israel, & the US, been reviewed in MOJO, NME, VILLAGE VOICE Ect, selected for air play on the John Peel show & recorded records with Tim Green & Steve Albini. We Do What We Must is 10 brand new songs produced by DEAF NEPHEWS (Dale Crover & Toshi Kasai). “We Do What We Must is a more fully realized vision of the songwriting power hinted at on their previous efforts. Apart from being filled with shit kicking riffs, a more mature melodic sense pervades. My biggest problem with this album is that there are so many great tracks, I can't easily figure out which one is my favorite… the album abounds with instant classics.” – AARON BEAM – RED FANG "Federation X has delivered another stellar record on par with all that have come before it. Maybe not as consistent as AC/DC, but as thoughtful as Bruce Springsteen, Fed X bring another solid record of pummeling tracks full of stories of epic journeys and self realization. It's also super sick to air drum to." – FRANKI CHAN - IHEARTCOMIX “This record is what I imagine it would sound like if Matt Dillon's character from ‘Over the Edge’ had survived, moved to some other shitty town, got messed up on drugs, learned some lessons, and then started a really good band.” – JARED WARREN – MELVINS/BIG BUSINESS
