about

Fig 4.0

Based in Leeds, Fig 4.0 formed in 1999 comprising of Joe Alderdice (Vocals & Guitar), Matt Coy (Bass & Vocals), Andrew Kidd (Guitar & Vocals) and Stephen Hastwell (Drums). Their debut album, Action Image Exchange, followed two years later. My own copy of this (a CD in now quite a battered, albeit well loved, case) still stirs the same excitement for me on hearing the opening Intel jingle that it did some 20 years ago. Whether or not I saw Fig 4.0 live still remains a matter of uncertainty (much alcohol was consumed during those touring days) but somewhere along the lines of playing gigs with Leeds bands in the early 2000s (including the also fantastic Mingers), that debut album found its way into my hands. Slightly jaded by the prevalence of bands at the time who just all 'sounded the same' Fig 4.0 jolted me out of this complacency. Such was their impact that even recently in 2017 I used some of their lyrics as part of a book title (Postgraduate Voices in Punk Studies: Your Wisdom, Our Youth). Fig 4.0 are/were all you wanted in a punk band. Frenetic instruments and vocals interspersed with moments for pause whilst catchy melodies sliced through the noise. 20 years on their sound has not dated, yet they still unrightly remain one of the most underrated punk bands of their generation.
