Fei Comodo were a 5-piece post-hardcore band from Essex, United Kingdom. They were signed to Small Town Records and developed a strong fanbase since their formation through playing many live shows across the country. They released five EPs, two singles, and one studio mini album. Renowned for an energetic live show the band completed several UK tours with other hardcore and metalcore bands from the South East, such as InMe and Bury Tomorrow.
On 3 May 2012, the band announced they would be disbanding following the release of Behind the Bright Lights and subsequent tour.
Fei Comodo formed in May 2003 with an original line-up consisting of Marc Halls (vocals and guitar), Will Phillipson (guitar), Phil Walker (bass) and Richard Duvale (drums). After a series of line up changes, they finally recruited their current line up with Mike Curtis (guitar) being added and bass being inherited by Jay Styler and drums by Rob Clemson.
During this period, the band released four EPs, Fei Comodo, One Man Stands Alive, This One's for Us and Go, Go! Emo Rangers. One of their first gigs was at the infamous 'Whoopfest' event in the New Windmill Hall in Upminster. In September 2007, Fei Comodo toured as support for fellow Essex band InMe.
Oh there is something going round our brainwashed hearts.
It is homeward bound, and is tearing our brothers apart.
But you'll never believe, in your wildest dreams,
That your family could be wrong
Its just and end in years, title I refuse to hold on,
much higher than my head.
Its not some game we play, its a lifestyle to obey,
We both fall in love
Thought that you were immune to the fall of time a decades fight,
But its grounding your soul, from untouchable heights.
And how long will this last, we walk bare feet on broken glass.
With all that has come and pass, we walk bare feet on broken glass.
Its just and end in years, a title I refuse to hold on,
Much higher than my head.
Its not some game we play, its a lifestyle to obey,
