Some images of the band in action and some artwork.
The artwork and the photos shown here were done by various people including band members. Current photos are beautifully representative of each band members individual psyche... personally, i HATE fuckin 'ippies. For god bollocks sake. Real pics will be uploaded as soon as Oliver morphs from his rugged cliff state back to his human (well, Australian [there is a difference!]) form.


Oliver Rapson (Morrocoy Santa Rosa De Lima)
Originally from Australia, he recently relocated for personal reasons aswell as establishing HFTP. He entered the UK hoping to at least have a bit of fun playing gigs and so on. Influenced by a eclectic range of music from both the US grunge scene to the Austrlaian rock scene (which is so badly portrayed over here... eg. The Vines, they are not Australian. Sorry, we can do better than that). Bands/Singers include, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Lenny Kravitz, Grinspoon, Tumbleweed, Superjesus, Powderfinger, and the almighty John Butler Trio.
Tim Bonney (Sludge Purley)
A true grunger through and through. Prior to HFTP Tim was the guitarist for alternative rock outfit Carapus, now in HFTP he has found a plethora of riffs that crushed the feeling 'Oooh, i don't think I'll ever be able to beat that riff... I might aswell give up now'. In the early days of HFTP he was shocked and suprised at how heavy the music was that the band was writing. Never wanting to be mainstream Tim has always felt that being mainstream means that you have to sacrifice alot of the art of writing musically good songs- although a big believer in heavy riffs, groove and strong melodies- he does show a few post rock tendencies. His main influences come from the likes of Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine, Corrosion Of Conformity, Symposium, Kyuss & QOTSA, Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Korn, Incubus, Hed(pe), Skunk Anansie, Audioslave, Guns'N'Roses and the greatest spanners of them all... TOOL.

His pastimes include, drinking, getting stoned off his face, working (unfortunately), reading Sci-Fi novels (Greg Bear and Ian Banks kick arse) and painting- incidentally in September he's going to Bath Spa University to do Fine Art. What a nonse!

Toby Bonney (Gloria)
A lad of few words. I doubt if he'll actually ever write anything here and if he does it'll be something along the lines of how much he dislikes pikies. Leading the way for universal love between humans and guinea fowl.
Andy Lane
A nice chap hailing from the outer reaches of Mogadishu. He once threw a grenade into a childrens playgroup. I blame violence on TV.

Nathan ( Soundman )
Nathan has had a patchy relationship with HFTP. However he is always there for us , he gladly recorded Under The Eyelid for us and we have to mention him because, well we simply havent on the cd, ooopps...sorry mate... He's a a talented young sound guy who i believe at one stage was listening to Bowling For Soup. This is why he is a target to many of our taunts.
WHAT IS HEALTHIER???? ROLLIES or TAYLORS
Are you a rollies man or perhaps a taylor hottie?? We at HFTP are in continouse quest to find out more from our public regarding health topics that are at the cutting edge of science. Please place all your answeres in the guest book as were keen to find out which we should be smoking without harming ourselves.
PLEASE BAN THESE SMOKES, THEY MAKE ME MORE WEEZY
Good old Marlboro Reds, Not only do they taste shit but my god,!! after a big night of hard drinking and couple of hours of chain smoking these fucking things are torture...My asthma inhailer is very handy indeed.... Please to all Reds smokers stop smoking these lung busters. They cane!
