THE FORCE FED PROJECT

The Force Fed project was an interesting side project that could have either worked
level with Janus Stark, or possibly even replaced them. It involved the JS members
at the time: Gizz, Shop and Carl Alty, and to complete the line-up, Kim Nail - a backing
vocalist from Marilyn Manson's touring band.

The band recorded a 10 track demo in early 2000, with Kim singing at least one part
in every song. Carl Alty's interest in programming influenced the band at the time as
the songs have a "cool, noisy, electronic vibe" (to quote Gizz). 

The 10 track demo has not been released in full, but I can provide the list of the
songs recorded - as quoted to me by Gizz :-
     
Birth of a Nation (3:54) Released on the CD "This Is a New Way of Thinking". Features Gizz on lead vocals, with Kim on backing vocals. A slow song that sounds very cool with the programming bits in it.
Blind
Butcherqueer (2:32) Originally available through the official Janus Stark site on download, and then released on the "This Is a New Way of Thinking" CD. The version on the CD is a subtly different mix to the download version. This song is very fast, and features Kim on lead vocals.
Bruises Blue (2:42) Another very fast song with Kim on lead vocals. Released on the Infernal Records compilation "Any Colour As Long As It's Black".
Catholic This certainly would make interesting listening. This relatively quiet song has already been recorded and released as Janus Stark. If the other songs in this demo are anything to go by, I would expect this version to be a bit different! According to Gizz, although it may have been played, it may not have been recorded! 
Chez Wrong Recently released as a demo recording on the CD "Built In Defence Mechanism". I would love to hear this version with Kim on vocals!
Girls Just Wanna Have Fuzz
Open Window
Plasticine A song that will probably won't now be recorded by Janus Stark.
