FAT was a London/NYC based band during the late 90s-early 00s

FAT was a London based rapcore band. The story goes that the vocalist A.D. Rowntree moved from New York to England when he was a teenager, where he met fellow band members Paul Andrews (bass) and Gareth Prosser (guitar). They played in England in clubs, although the music was recorded in January of 1997 the songs have been around for some time. All the drums on the album were played by A.D. (except on two tracks where Joe Franco helped out). After the album release, they did some touring, including playing Ozzfest in 1997. When the band felt they could do no more in UK, the trio headed to the States. They began looking for a permanent drummer and a friend of Mike Boyko’s told him about band needing a drummer. Mike tried out and became the drummer for FAT.

In 1998 while on hiatus, Paul Andrews (bass) had left the band. A.D., Gareth and Mike were still writing and recording music. Unfortunately, except Trashcan Knowledge EP in 2000, no further music was ever released.
