Artist: f.o.e.

And so concludes The Great Escape Festival , which always turns into the biggest weekend of our calendar year. It's been four days since the event finished, yet our hangovers have barely receded. On one of the nights we finally reached our bed at 8am! A marathon indeed. Below is our review of a handful of experiences and exploits, but in truth it's pretty impossible to extol the real experience in words. Sure we had an amazing time, with lots of live music and venue hopping, but as a Brighton resident every other week of the year, we noticed [...]

FOE has a new video for 'A Handsome Stranger Called Death', from her album 'Bad Dream Hotline' released in January. Watch it below. It's a little trippy, just warning you. Click here to view the embedded video.

The VPME 'A Handsome Stranger Called Death' , the second single from FOE's acclaimed debt 'Bad Dream Hotline' is released at the end of the month. FOE, or Hannah Louise Clark to her friends has been touted as "the next big thing" for a while now, something she would seem as comfortable with as wearing a G-String- check out the lyrics on "Tyrant Song" f or example - " are you ready for the next big thing, are you ready for a clown in a G-string." However we readily admit we hadn't [...]

Dinner's served! What do you mean you're not hungy?! FOE - A Handsome Stranger Called Death Everyone loves a pop-tastic caricature. So its convenient that FOE was selected to make the big time in 2012 by The Music Fix . She's either a. an attention seeker who's chosen to be a bit dark and morbid, or b. a bit mental. Not mutually exclusive, I guess. But either way, her thing is singing morbid lyrics with an attitude-drenched voice, accompanied by lively percussion. Which wasn't what you were [...]

FOE - Bad Dream Hotline By Paul Faller FOE is the alter ego of 21 year-old Fleet-based musician Hannah Clark, who started out this project with a £40 Technics organ and a distinct sense of not fitting in. But while early influences PJ Harvey and Nirvana do inform her debut album Bad Dream Hotline to an extent, there's a deliciously dark world to be discovered within, and it's very much her own. 'Ballad For The Brainkeepers' is our opening window into FOE's weird [...]

Hannah Clark es una artista que lanzó hace ya casi un año Hot New Trash , el primer EP bajo su proyecto / nombre artístico FOE , el cual pasó bastante desapercibido. De hecho, si a día de hoy tratamos de buscar información sobre esta joven británica, encontramos que se trata de un proyecto bastante underground y poco conocido. A pesar de ello, hoy ve la luz Bad Dreams Hotline , un impresionante primer álbum que esperemos popularice a esta gran artista. Pero lo [...]

As a rule, we rarely, if ever, blog on Sundays, much less Sunday evening, but this definitely warrants a break in the normal routine; I have more than just the remaining two videos in this Bad Dream Hotline- related series of vignettes for our readers today. You also get to listen to the album ahead of its release tomorrow. It is streaming over at the NME's Radar blog . Those of you who read my review from two weeks ago will know exactly what I think of it, and I've kind of hinted at it elsewhere as well, but for [...]

Here is the second in this series of our FOE videos (they're kind of an exclusive, don'cha know), created around the concept and major theme of her new record, Bad Dream Hotline : an exploration of dreams and nightmares, and more specifically, the ones she herself used to experience. Today's video concerns Dreams of Drowning . I used to have those every now and then, but the 'drowning' that's mentioned in this clip (which is actually on the album as a coda to Tyrant Song ) is of a different kind. Check out the video below. On [...]

In the run-up to the release of her brilliant debut album, Bad Dream Hotline , FOE has unveiled a series of short video clips as an introduction to the album's theme. Filled with dark imagery and plenty of candour, the album is inspired by the dreams - and the nightmares - Hannah Clark used to have; and in this vein, here is the first clip to be revealed: the first video is entitled Playground Dreams. I am almost certain it's meant to tie into the second song on the album, Mother May I? , just as the [...]

FOE From: Fleet, Hampshire FOE , the one woman pop vehicle for ex Arthur singer Hannah Shark, works with SASO to make the Breeders' Bang On sound like the Ting Tings on a downer. An intriguing re-working which works, just. You [...]

We catch up with FOE's Hannah to find out more about her charity shop organ, 4-track player and working relationship with Adam Crisp of Entrepreneurs.

FOE and her 90s influenced, gutter guitar rock has revealed her new video for single ' Cold Hard Rock ', (no available to watch in USA) which will be released on the 9th January. However, we are more partial to her video of "Tyrant" above. Love the inpromptu setting in a closet! Hannah Louise Clark, the mastermind behind FOE, releases her album 'Bad Dream Hotline' on the 16th January, will also be touring throughout the month.

FOE is in for a seriously good 2012 as things look at the moment: the album 'Bad Dream Hotline' is set to be released on the 16th of January, and has already been well received by critics. This song is the lead single from the record, and the way it starts epitomizes the ballsy rock 'n' roll edge that you can come to expect from FOE's Hannah Clark. 'Cold Hard Rock' is a perfect mix of Hannah's girl next door charm and her dream inspired lyrics: "I saw my lover take another / on the cold hard [...]

Foe : Cold Hard Rock - Video

As I write this, it is nine months to the day since Hannah Clark, alias FOE [ Twitter / Facebook ], released her debut EP, Hot New Trash . When you consider that most bands take a number of years, from conception, to release an album, one conclusion can be quickly reached: damn , she moves fast. The last time I tackled a record that had been released anywhere near that quickly (trivia fans: it was Red Light Company's Fine Fascination , released ten months after their first EP), I said that the band had potential and would [...]

Pop rocker FOE (Hannah Clark) returns with a smashing effort from her upcoming debut ' Bad Dream Hotline ' set to sail on January 16th, 2012. You can get a first listen to 'Cold Hard Rock' below, guaranteed to make your day a little edgier. FOE - Cold Hard Rock Cold Hard Rock by FOE

FOE 's Hannah Clark comes across over the phone as shy. Definitively shy. Not what I expected after listening to the guitar wails of 'Bad Dream Hotline'. Shyness over the phone, however, cannot detract from the fact that Hannah Clark is extremely talented and can produce music which gets your legs stomping. Most sites cite her as sounding like a PJ Harvey / Nirvana mix, which makes sense seeing as she cites her two major influences as the two-time Mercury prize winner and the grunge giants. The new album 'Bad Dream Hotline' done [...]
