History Feral Five

Feral Five are a post-punk electro duo from East London and Kent. Their debut EP ‘Skin' was called an "alternative classic" by Louder Than War, and Nirvana biographer Everett True described it as "Brooding and deviant”.

In their track '3D', Feral Five predict a world where humans are 3D printed. The song features 3D printer samples as percussion, as well as synths, bass and guitars. The release included a dance remix '3D Ether Mix', and percussive track 'Invisible'. 3D was featured in the US tech press and Evan Chavez said "it could easily become an anthem for the 3D scene". It was played on BBC 6 Music Recommends by Steve Lamacq, and Louder Than War gave it a 9/10 review.

Prior to the release of '3D', Feral Five were invited to perform at Music Tech Fest London, where they used their 3D printer as an instrument and played with Lu Edmonds from PiL. Tribal pop artist Camille Walala created the artwork for 3D, which was also released on 12" vinyl with a 3D printed design.

'Angel Road' was released as a single in December 2014 and played on BBC 6 Music by Steve Lamacq.

An instrumental version of 'Angel Road', and an instrumental titled 'Neurotrash', feature on the soundtrack of the film Dressed As A Girl, premiered at the BFI in March 2015.

Feral Five's members are Kat and Drew Five. They cite The Slits, Public Image Limited and The Kills, as influences. Their second release was 'Strung Out' with a video made by Belka Films which was featured on the Fred Perry 'Subculture' site. Their debut 'Skin' EP includes three remixes from Rolo McGinty of The Woodentops.
