FFL was a punk band from Berlin and was active in the early 2000's.
FFL recorded these eight tracks at Noisy Sound Studios / Berlin in 2003. Ainstain gave me the single tracks to prepare a roughmix as the band only recorded but did not mix at Noisy Sound Studios. As far as I know a proper mix has never been made. Since I've still had the files I thought I'd give it another shot. So this is the FFL mix from January 2014, mixed at Home Cooked Studios / Perth by Grobi.

The band name refers to the first floor on the left of the Køpi squat in Berlin, Germany, to which band members were associated. The alternative meaning 'fistful of love' I remember from a gig poster. I believe the former was used more commonly.

Bass player Kuru contacted me in September 2021 and provided some background information, as for example, the real song titles and band member names. These are updated now. The songs are still the same.


F.F.L. were:
Bass: Wolfgang Joyce Nash / Kuru (BRA)
Vocals: Dave Smith Salad (USA)
Guitar: Sherman Sparks (USA - not on this recordings as he got deported following the Genoa G20 protests)
Guitar: Tomas Lemman (GER - on this recording, filled in for Sherman)
Drums: Robin (also sound-tech, DK)

Lyrics by Kuru and Dave
Music by Kuru, except for 'She is lost in the city' and 'picking it up' by Sherman


I do not know what the other band members are up to these days but Kuru / Wolfgang is playing with 'Street Trash Contraband'. They are now based in São Paulo but existed for over ten years in Berlin and played regularly at White Trash ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=34PGp6QwkXA )
