Fu Manchu Lyrics

Fu Manchu is a Southern Californian stoner rock band, who released their debut single "Kept Between Trees" in 1990. Rolling Stone describes their sound as:

"Super heavy and bass happy Detroit rock 'n' roll is totally deep-fried, fuzzed out, window breakin', pot sellin', sleepin-in-the-van, skater metal."

Fu Manchu lyrics tend to focus on pinball, muscle cars, UFOs/Bigfoot, and skateboarding. They have featured on compilations from Tony Hawk and ESPN's X Games, been invited to perform on the US television program, Monster Garage, and featured in a documentary about skateboarding's founding crews, Dogtown and Z-Boys.

Fu Manchu's latest album We Must Obey was released on the 20th of February, 2007 on Liquor and Poker Records and the band will spend most of 2007 touring to support the album. Sonically and lyrically, We Must Obey shifts somewhat from the previous, slower, 70s-based Fu Manchu sound to a more aggressive tempo. In someways it suggests a closing of the circle, as Fu Manchu originally formed in 1987 as a hardcore punk band called Virulence.
