The Fartz

The Fartz

The Fartz (pronounced "the farts"), originally formed in 1981 and were one of the first well known Hardcore bands from Seattle, Washington.

In 1982 they released an LP entitled "World Full of Hate" on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles Records.

Vocalist Blaine Cook later went on to sing for the hardcore/thrash band The Accüsed. Duff McKagan later gained notoriety as a member of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses - via a stint in Seattle's unsung heroes, 10 Minute Warning. Also, featured Tommy Hanson on guitar, later founding member of the band Crisis Party.

The Fartz were one of Seattle's earliest hardcore punk outfits, attacking governmental and religious corruption, racism, sexism, poverty, and the like. The band's original lineup included vocalist Cook (under the name "Blaine Fart"), guitarist Paul Solger, bassist Steve, and drummer Loud Fart. Few Seattle clubs were willing to book hardcore acts during the band's short lifespan, so the Fartz often found themselves scrambling for any exposure or opportunities to perform.

The band's first full-length album, World Full of Hate, appeared in 1982, but even in spite of modest success overseas (one single reached the Top Ten on the NME's alternative chart), the frustration with Seattle's lack of opportunity took its toll.

In 1998, Alternative Tentacles issued a thorough retrospective of the group entitled Because This Fuckin' World Still Stinks. What's In A Name appeared in summer 2001.They continued to play shows in Washington and surrounding states till about around 2003.
