Fair Ohs Recommends

The East London-based trio Fair Ohs return to their hardcore roots by releasing their early recordings on 7” & download for the first time via Pacific Rim: Early Recordings - compiling eight songs plus bonus tracks as a documentation of the band’s early experimentations. Having moved on from their early days as a hardcore/garage punk band, the three-piece have since delved into more diverse sounds, yet remaining true to their original punk energy. We speak to the dynamic lot about their most favourite things from Maru the Cat to their choice of new bands to look out for.
