FUCKIN WHATEVER

 Featuring Anthony Green of Circa Survive, Adam Lazzara and John Nolan of Taking Back Sunday and additional percussion from Benjamin Homola of Grouplove, Fuckin Whatever is a fluid project born of longtime friendships and late nights on the road, but what it could grow to become is entirely unwritten. It all started on the 2016 Taste Of Chaos tour. After Green wrapped his opening set with Saosin each night, itching to play more music, he started setting up impromptu acoustic gigs in the parking lots after his set. One night, his restless energy led to an impromptu backstage jam session with Lazzara, Nolan, Homola, and others––except there were no instruments involved. Using just their voices and a stomp or two in lieu of percussion... before they even realized it, Fuckin Whatever was born. They decided to start recording these nightly jam sessions on their phones, and by the end of the tour, there were literally dozens of recordings. There are some as long as 17-minutes, some recorded in bathrooms, and even one in the legendary tunnel between the stage and sound booth at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. What they share in common is the camaraderie of the many talented voices (and sounds) involved. Fast forward to 2020––ugh. With a creative need to continue making and releasing music, Anthony approached the group about releasing some of those recordings. Feeling a similar restlessness, Nolan suggested they try making and recording something for real instead. "I'm Waiting On You" is what came next, and it's truly the spark that led to the rest of this EP coming together.
There are zero instruments on Fuckin Whatever's self-titled debut. "It's pretty much 80% mouth noises and 20% Ben slapping things around the house," Lazzara explains. Those voices, however, are among some of the most recognizable in modern rock music, yet here they take on a new life. Call it a band, or a supergroup... it's Fuckin Whatever.

“Original Sin” sounds like someone electrified an a cappella dirge. Green, Lazzara, and Nolan’s voices swirl around each other in Gregorian tones" - Consequence Of Sound
Those expecting Fuckin Whatever to sound exactly like the members’ other bands will likely realize just how wrong they are within seconds of turning on the EP. The vocal harmonizing and lack of instrumentation (unless you count whatever it is that Homola is banging on at any given time) gives every tune a much more psychedelic vibe than anything from their individual existing catalogs. - SPIN 

"The group instantly subverted any and all expectations for what they were capable of. The multi-layered tracks feature zero instruments and a lot of vocal and percussive noises. The final result has been called “psychedelic” and “psych pop,” but it really has to be heard to be understood." - Alt Press
