Sorry about the title, but some gags are so obvious that it’s just plain wrong not to run with them (just ask Tim Vine, he’ll back me up on this one).
Having an involuntary love of all things Foilface – and indeed foil-faced – myself and fellow ‘facer, Duncan Ratters, had to purchase and devour this foil-clad cow the minute we laid eyes on it. Only thing is, we didn’t get any further than this from sheer guilt – look how sad a sight he is with no more legs 
We’re now thinking of starting a foundation for abused foil-faced cows. The only trouble is that our recent music 2 download is free, so we need some help – please send us loads of massive donations so we can buy all the foil-faced chocolate cows in the country and ‘look after’ them.

I was doing some random camping in a non-specific field during the disturbingly fine UK weather last week, when my Foilface free ringtone blasted out from my pocket, violently raping the tranquility of the whole picture.
I was distracted from my shame by the surprise of seeing this little Alpaca fella react by running a good distance across an adjoining field towards me with clear intent. At first, I thought he may have been offended and intend to take revenge on my nether regions, but no – he ran all the way over just to stop and listen to Foilface. There can be no arguement; Alpacas dig quality recent music.

It’s all well and good basking in the anonymity of Foilface. But when you look out of your humble upstairs window in the early hours and see a car creeping along the back lane – the type of which can only belong to the new free music paparazzi – it’s kind of daunting. Shouldn’t they all be at Glasto right now? They’re on to us, man. LEG IT!!!

A church-ridden tw@ in a tunic,
Was buzzing off new english music.
He listened to Truckers,
Whilst blessing some f***ers,
And sprayed out abuse in Tungusic.

If you type new music into Google, you’ll probably get exactly what you’re looking for. But I’m half way through a smoke-and-brew-ponder, and I’m mulling over just exactly what deserves to be labelled with this term.
To anyone with an eye on the latest uk releases, it won’t have gone unnoticed that many record companies now seem to crap themselves if a band tries to do anything that sounds notably different to their last successful single – instead favouring the production of ‘new’ material to follow some sort of recipe, resulting in each new release sounding remarkably like the last one (I won’t start naming and shaming – I’ll be here all day).
Luckily for Foilface, we only release the tunes we like, when and how we want by doing it ourselves – like so many other successful bands do nowadays – so we’re not beholden to fat dickheads who would only ever pay any attention to their artists’ lyrics if they contained phrases like “commercial viability” or “loyalty purchasing”. We like to think that this is reflected in our genuinely new music – ie. the tracks can actually be distinguished from one another when you’re listening from a distance.
Our new EP, Jean-Claude Naive, is a great example – feel free to disagree, of course. All opinions are very welcome here.
