Mark Foggo started his career at 14 years old by playing around the
London pub circuit, supporting himself with live pub gigs and the
occasional solo performance. Nothing could break his determination to
succeed in music, often taking odd jobs when the money ran out. Mark
wrote and recorded his first single ‘New Shoes’ and when it grabbed the
attention of Polydor Records, they offered him a contract . Through
Polydor he released his first full-length album ‘Speeding My Life Away’.
It was an album full of energetic, high powered, mindbending songs that
demonstrated his inventive songwriting skills and musicianship. Mark
followed this up with the album, “Ska Pig” which was released by Link
Records UK. MTV has called it a ‘classic and cornerstone’ in the genre.
Since then, Mark Foggo has released a number of excellent CDs ,EPs and
Singles and over the years his songs have appeared on over a hundred
compilation CDs worldwide.
Now , having signed a deal with V2 RECORDS for the release of the
brand new album 'MAD', The “creme de la creme” of Foggo’s newest
recordings will be available to the public on April 12th 2010.
“MAD” is a combination of Mark Foggo’s many music styles and bizarre
songwriting skills. It stretches the limits, from the extremes of British ska
to Southern States Rockabilly, from the Pain of Punk to the Pop Rock
Circus of today.
Meet Muhammad Ali in the ring, Ask the EU for a subsidy, Sit in the
traffic stuck behind hundreds of caravans, Go to work and smash things
up, Be Happy, Be Sad, Be Lucky, Get Mad,
Feel what it’s like. - experience it all on “MAD”
That is Mark Foggo!
