about
No Man Can Stand Against the Deadly Fists of Kung Fu formed like so many emergent bands, by two guys with cheap guitars. Zac Hobbs and Jason Hurt grew up in the same town, read the same comic books and shared the same distaste for mediocre pizza. They also enjoyed listening to the same music and at early ages the two of them would begin to write music together. Listening to Dinosaur Jr, The Afghan Whigs, Tom Petty, The Replacements and The Pixies would result in a writing style heavy on guitars yet graced by vocal melody. The two started their first band just out of high school but it wasn’t until the fall of 2001 that Zac took to the microphone. Their style is tight and powerful with just the right amount of push and tug. What you see isn’t a chemistry of opposing forces nor is it an order of lead and be led but a mutual symbiosis. Working together for years, Zac and Jason created a tag-team dynamic that doesn’t appear often in writing teams. Jason and Zac began playing seriously in 2001 with the creation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (The League), a tribute project which allowed Zac to hone his chops on the microphone. After The League, the duo kept collaborating and with the addition of Phread Touchette and Andrew Bennett, No Man Can Stand Against the Deadly Fists of Kung Fu (Deadly Fists of Kung Fu for short, DFKF for shorter) was created in 2002 in Pensacola, FL . Phread Touchette and his bass guitar officially stepped into the band in 2002 and again
