Artist History Formed in the spring of 1996, F.P.Toz set out to do one thing only - play ass kicking original rock and roll (Well...2 things- quit our day jobs as well. They really blow!) So from October 1996 to July 1998, we played dozens of shows, recorded a 4 song demo and then played a dozen more shows leading up to a nomination in the Asbury Music Awards for top Alternative Act (don't be confused, we are rock and roll, not alternative). Where did we go from there? Where else - The Recording Studio! From August to November, we were in Big Blue Meenie in Hackensack, NJ under the expert tutelage of Michael A. Ward. The resulting album has been highly anticipated by our small but loyal fan base- The Toz Freaks. Then we split up, went punk rock, split up some more and reformed into the best damned thing going. Check out our older stuff now while the future of Rock is being born in a different bassment in Colonia NJ.

Group Members Dan Buzy - Lead Vocals; Gary Indiana Jones- Guitar; Phil Macaughk-Bass/Backing Vocals; Reg Magoo- Drums

Press Reviews Jersey Beat- Summer 1999 "Beep! Uugah! We Stomp 'em real good! Unreconstructed raunched out caveman rock'n'roll! Elementary musical primitism for the boorish, unrefined barbarian in all of us! We're talkin' ear shredding vocals right outta the School of Open Up and Holler at the Top of Your Lungs Singing/Shouting! Funkier-than-thou wah-wah wailin' guitars! Roll over deadly boogie-woogie drum beats that storm ahead like a wooly mammoth stampede! Sweep up the floor nasty bass lines! Crude, profane lyrics! ;-) Deep, tasty taffy-thick hard-throbbin', slow-diggin', stretch 'em to the near breaking point brutally sustained grooves! No frills, no bullshit, no bullshit, no pretense whatsoever let's go back to the Stone Age rumble grumbling at its raw, basic, deliciously unadorned and unpolished straight up-butt-whippin' best! Great Fuckin' Album, Man! July 7-14(1999) issue of the Aquarian Weekly Just another dweeb expecting to hear that Opie and Anthony song of the same name as the disc title. Instead, I was rocked with the coolest dose of '70s flavored garage punk around ( they're North Jersey Boys!). Awesome treble-heavy guitar sounds, smart-ass attitude, tricky changes, and a rage-free, though no less-intense, spirited enthusiasm. How I love to hear my Dicken's Cider! HowILoveToHearMyDicken'sCider!!!!!!!!!! 3.26.00 the saint Smithwick Machine w/ FPTOZ We get into Asbury Park about 7pm. It's a crazy place...24 hour laundromats...we're not in The South anymore. Some very cool friends from NYC came to see us. FPTOZ open the show. Old school punk with a New Jersey frame of mind. http://www.stonerrock.com/smithwickmachine/xtour.html Black Pumpkin records review : ... FP TOZ, Dicken's Cider, CD, $10. Take this crazy, chaotic, cosmic space ride and you'll find out that there's more in cider than just rock and roll... http://www.blackpumpkin.com/xdistro.html Jacko from the Brighton Bar says : "F.P.ToZ Brings The Party" and " Dan Is One of the Best Front men Around", or so claims Gary ( no one will confirm or deny it)
