Southern California's Fu Manchu began crafting heavy, psychedelic-tinged rock in 1990 with their debut single, "Kept Between Trees."
Throughout the early '90s the group honed their sound on similarly intense singles, and released their debut album, No One Rides for Free, in

Southern California's Fu Manchu began crafting heavy, psychedelic-tinged rock in 1990 with their debut single, "Kept Between Trees."
Throughout the early '90s the group honed their sound on similarly intense singles, and released their debut album, No One Rides for Free, in
1994 on Bong Load Records. Daredevil, also on Bong Load, followed in 1995. The group switched to Mammoth Records for their 1996 album In
Search Of...; the next year, founding members Scott Hill (vocals, guitars) and Brad Davis (bass, vocals) added lead guitarist Bob Balch and
former Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork to their lineup, and they released their second album for Mammoth, The Action Is Go. During this time the
group gained a reputation as a powerful live act, supporting like-minded groups like the Melvins, Kyuss, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, and
Clutch in the States, and Corrosion of Conformity, the Hellacopters, and Marilyn Manson in Europe. 1998 saw the release of Return to Earth,
which collected their early singles, and the Eatin' Dust EP, which was released by Frank Kozik's Man's Ruin label. Fu Manchu released their fifth
full-length album, King of the Road, in early 2000, following it up with a lengthy tour of the United States. They took time off to work on new
material, emerging in the spring of 2001 with California Crossing. As their live show neared perfection, they took an opportunity to showcase
their stoner rock stage skill with 2003's Go for It...Live! The following year they released two new studio discs, Start the Machine and
(Godzilla's) Eatin' Dust. And in 2007 the band returned with an angrier but typically heavy album titled We Must Obey, a sarcastic rebuttal
directed toward anyone with the gall to try and push them around. « hide |
