We comprise of Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny. We first came to public notice follwing regular TV appearances on the top-rated Andy Williams show, but also appeared on television's Jerry Lewis show. Initially known as FDA, we recorded for Andy Williams record label Barnby. Our potential was recognised by Mike Curb, who saw us as likely rivals to the star-studded Jackson 5. Signed to MGM records, Federal Drugs Administration recorded the catchy "One Bad Apple" which topped the US charts for 5 weeks. Before long, FDA had become a national institution and various members including Jimmy, Donny and Marie enjoyed hits in their own right. By the time FDA -mania hit the UK in 1972 we peaked with the ecologically-conscious "Crazy Horses" complete with electric organ effects. Our clean cut image and well scrubbed good looks broughthold on. Shit.Shit shit shit SHIT. We've just confused ourselves with The Osmonds, there. Shit. Sorry about that, it's so easily done.

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY.
Federal Drugs Administration are the work of pure genius taking in everything from Clockwork Orange to Frank Sidebottom via the polemic of Chumbawamba, Carter USM and the Manic Street Preachers. . With most of manchester looking back to Shaun Ryder and the late 80s, FDA are a strikingly original and anarchic madness not seen in Manchester since the days of Chloe Poems and the Divine David.

"It's your highest profile gig to date, and your bassist has managed to fall over whilst pissed and break his arm. What do you do? You could cancel it of course. Or you could don a couple of lab coats and get up there on stage with the help of a CD player and see what happens.
Federal Drugs Administration chose the latter option, for which early arrivals at Night & Day will forever be grateful. They open with "Love Song No1", the best song about messing your undercrackers whilst in the throes of passion you will ever hear. It's possibly the only one. The irreverence continues with "That London" - full of cunts, apparently - as indeed is their "tribute" to Beyonce which is mostly an excuse to rhyme things with quite rude words. As some advert once said, it shouldn't be entertaining but it is. . Absolute genius or utter shite? Um. yes."
