SFP
Making The Hood Look Good

ESR006
MCD

Released:
September
2002

Have we got the guts to say we're not that conventional? We do. Fast-paced melodic punkrock tunes for sure, goose flesh vocals all over the place and Slick Shoes breaks. And then diversity strikes: slower songs, more technical, a little more rock than punk and even hardrock styled guitar solos. SFP is music. Music is emotion. It's in here as well. We love playing those love songs. A modest yet pure piano outro is our goodbye. For now. "Making the hood look good" is our grown-up child. We love it and so will you. And everything's alright!

Fracture Zine (UK): These guys are awesome. Like Alkaline Trio going on a roadtrip with SNFU and Stinking Polecats and running over a jay-walking hardcore band by mistake there is a great mix of styles on display on this that makes it appealing to people of all tastes and styles in what can only be descriped as a veritable tapestry of punk worthy of the highest praise.

Bullet Magazine (B): Skate punk with a capital S here. What we get is a very mature, unique sounding punk rock band. Keyword:melody. SFP is about to rock the hell out of you all, check them out live and pick up this CD! No shit, a total winner. Another fine epic of the notorious and fast growing EyeSpy saga. If you buy one more punkrock CD this year, make it this SFP one.

Skrut Magazine (SWE): This way it can sound too. SFP sounds Swedish in an odd way and I think they remind me about groups like Venerea and Skumdum and that no bad comaprions with my view on punkrock. It´s really simple music they play but it´s very much feeling in their music and they win a lot on that. SFP have a sound which I really like and the 8(or maybe 7 songs) songs is stucked in my brain in a positive way and they only do so I want more and more of the group.

Keep On Playing Magazine (B): Ok mottafockaz, open your ears and listen to this !! Why do we always have to support the American bands when we have our own gems from our own country? Nothing against American bands but SFP really deserves more attention. They play fast, very melodic punkrock and on this album you can hear seven of their songs. So remember, next time you go to the record store, leave the albums of your favourite Fat Wreck bands in the rack and buy this cd. I'm sure you won't regret it! Also good stuff for people who're looking for something with intelligent lyrics. Both personal and political topics are represented.

Pitfather (SWE): 1994 was the year Belgium punk-band SFP started out, in the following years they released two demo-tapes and a CD-r and played lots of shows. Some line-up changes and lots of rehearsals down the road, they released Making the Hood Look Good on the small Belgium label Eyespy Records. The punk rock has a great melodic element in it that makes them easy to compare to bands like Snfu, De Heideroosjes and so on. The up-tempo songs on this record all have a great production, without losing the vibe and sound of a punk-album. This band defiantly has the potential to become, after some albums and tours, a leading and in the European scene. Oh I almost forgot they also have a premiere, the first ever appearance of Britney Spears on a punk record.

Inside Knowledge (NL): WARNING: this site contains extremely handsome dudes and is not suitable for sensible girls who fall in love very quickly. This is the first line you get to read when you open the website from these Belgium guys. So let me tell you what kind of music these handsome boys are playing. It is pop music mixed with skatepunkrock and a little bit Emo. Absolute the best song on this album is "Britney" about Miss Spears. I believe everything they say about her. It also did hurt me when she started dating this Justin. On the album are eight songs and if these guys are lucky and meet the right people they can become as big as Blink 182 with this material, but then they have to be very lucky because there are a lot of bands waiting for the same chance

Les Allcores Zine (B): Les jeunes punkers de SFP nous proposent eux aussi un ep de qualité. Certes, les 8 titres ne sont pas parfait, d'aucuns ont même un air déjà vu, mais SFP a de la personnalité et sait mettre pas mal de fraîcheur dans ses chansons. Et puis la tuerie de "Britney" avec son solo de gratte est à elle seule une bonne raison d'écouter cette plaque!
