Tent City Records, from New York, got hold of the demo and asked The Foamers to do a record for them, so in June 1999 the band jetted off to the USA to record their debut full length, "6 Pints None the Wiser". With the album (released in June 2000) described as a mix of 4/4 punk, ska and oi, with influences of Snuff and Choking Victim, The Foamers found lots of new fans. The Foamers split amicably in 2004. Kerem has contributed vocals to Suicide Bid's second album The Rots Stops Here, as well as providing the band's artwork.

  • Tent City Records, from New York, got hold of the demo and asked The Foamers to do a record for them, so in June 1999 the band jetted off to the USA to record their debut full length, "6 Pints None the Wiser". With the album (released in June 2000) described as a mix of 4/4 punk, ska and oi, with influences of Snuff and Choking Victim, The Foamers found lots of new fans. Amongst many other gigs, in the summer of 2001 The Foamers embarked on a tour with Leftöver Crack, and became friends with the band who are also a massive influence. After a few months The Foamers headed back to the studio to record 3 tracks for release on their own label, Plopstars Recordings. The title track, Football was an anti-hooligan song, and 2 tracks from "6 Pints…" were also included, as recorded live whilst on tour with Capdown and Howards Alias. After a show one night at the Underworld, Camden supporting Hellcat punks F-Minus, The Foamers became part of the Household Name Records family, and plans for the label to release their second album were hatched. Vigorous touring followed, including another tour with Leftöver Crack in summer 2002, then with Big D and the Kids Table and Dan Potthast of MU330 in December 2002. 2003 was taken up with touring, writing new songs, and several line up changes. Then towards the end of the year The Foamers descended upon John Hannon's "No" Recording Studios (Hundred Reasons, Capdown, Link 80, Five Knuckle, Adequate Seven have all passed through there at one time) to record their self-titled second album. The Foamers split amicably in 2004. Kerem has contributed vocals to Suicide Bid's second album The Rots Stops Here, as well as providing the band's artwork.
