FTR (First Time Riot)

  1. Hi, how are you?

    WE ARE F.T.R , I SAID WE ARE F.T.R.

  2. How would you personally describe the band?

    WE ARE NOT AS GOOD AS CHAS N DAVE BUT SLIGHTY BETTER THAN BUSTED!

  3. How’d you come up with the name?

    THERE WERE LOADS OF NAMES BOUNDING ABOUT IN THE BEGINING, BUT ONE DAY ME & GRANT DECIDED ON THE INITIALS F.T.R. WE DID THE M.D.C. THING & LOADS OF NAMES CAME FROM THE INITIALS BUT FIRST TIME RIOT STUCK. (WE COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED FANNY TICKLING ROMEOS)

  4. If you were stranded on a desert island (and somehow had a music player available) what is the one album you'd want with you?

    CHAS N DAVES GREATEST HITS

  5. How has the punk scene changed since you first started? Is it better/worse or just the same?

    BOTH, IT'S GOT WORSE & BETTER AT THE SAME TIME. BETTER BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE AND MORE DECENT UNDERGROUND BANDS OUT THERE, BUT WORSE BECAUSE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO COME AND SEE THE BANDS ARE THE OTHER BANDS THAT PLAY ON THE SAME BILL.

  6. Whats your favourite song to play live/favourite place to play live?

    GRANT F.T.R.: FIRST TIME RIOT OR THIS COUNTRY

    LITTLE TOMMY RIOT: STOCKHOLM

    TOMMY GUN: FIGHT TOWN REBELS

    MATT RIOT: CROWD OF ENGLAND OR BLACK SHEEP

  7. Tell the readers five facts about the band / band members they will not already know

    GRANT F.T.R. WAS ONCE CONSIDERED FOR AN MBE FOR HIS WORK TOWARDS ORGANIC GARDENING IN THE MIDLANDS

    LITTLE TOMMY RIOTS REAL NAME IS DONOVAN

    TOMMY GUN WON SECON PLACE IN COME DINE WITH ME FOR HIS POLAR BEAR LIVER WITH CHEESE & CHIVE MASH AND ONION GRAVY DISH

    MATT RIOT CURRENTLY HAS THE BODY OF THE CARNIVAL QUEEN IN THE BOOT OF HIS CAR.

    AND LAST BUT BY NO MEANS LEAST, F.T.R STARTED AS A JAZZ FLUTE COLLECTIVE.

  8. You're invisible for a day...what do you do?

    WELL SEEING AS BOTH OF THE TOMS HAVE ALREADY GOT CONVICTIONS FOR PEEPING, I THINK WE'D FOLLOW SUIT AND DO THE WOMENS CHANGING ROOMS.

  9. Plans, gigs and releases for the rest of 2008?

    WE HAVE A FEW GIGS BOOKED BUT ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE. AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE JUNE 14TH @THE BLACKHORSE IN BRUM, WITH THE TESTICLES ROTUNDA AND A FEW MORE.(UNLESS THE LINE UPS CHANGED SINCE WE GOT BOOKED)
