Belgian Punk kings F.O.D. released their sixth album, The Once A Virgin Club, in April via SBAM Records. With their latest album F.O.D. returned to their roots with a fresh batch of fast, catchy melodic punk rock songs. The Once A Virgin Club‘s title alludes to the band’s members aging and reminiscing about the time when they first formed a band as inexperienced youngsters, eager to explore the world of music. 13 years after their debut album F.O.D. released their finest album to date, one that deservedly kicks off The Punk Site‘s top 10 releases from 2024.
“F.O.D. have their roots firmly in the 90’s punk rock explosion, and The Once A Virgin Club resembles a love letter to their influences, one that looks fondly back over it’s shoulder to a time when the likes of Bad Religion, Green Day, Blink-182, Rancid and The Offspring found themselves thrust into the spotlight. Whilst their sound is rooted in that era, it’s become something unique, and The Once A Virgin Club is for me up there with Harvest in their finest releases. This is the sound of a band going back to what they do best, mission accomplished.” (Phinky)
