Foamy Ed are an Auckland all girl four-piece that have received impressive reviews & recognition since forming in 1996.
Foamy Ed have toured both the North and South Island relentlessly, playing with a wide variety of bands at a number of various venues.
The band recently released their highly anticipated EP ‘A Moments Need’, which is a well-developed progression from their debut EP ‘Go Where U Know’. Their songs are catchy & powerful with a definite hard edge, and they have an energetic stage presence not to be missed. Foamy Ed have risen to become one of the highest-profile genre bands in NZ and continue to expand their fan base nationwide.
Their songs are tight, thrashy and fast, although they have a definite hard edge, their prolific use of harmonies and powerful riffs means they still remain emotive & melodic.
Evident in their visual stage presence, as well as their songs, these girls are well stocked and bursting with energy!
Foamy Ed have opened at the Big Day Out twice, and performed with Blink 182, Pennywise, The Vandals, Five Iron Frenzy, 28 Days, The 5,6,7,8’s, Plain Sunset, HLAH, The Feelers, Fur Patrol, Sommerset, Kitsch, Tadpole and many more.
More recently on TV2’s Space Foamy Ed took out the first round of Launchpad, a competition for bands. The prize was a $10,000 video contract, giving them the chance to making a music video of a single of their choice. The result was a cool video for ‘Overload’.
