Flying Saucer Attack was an experimental rock band that formed in Bristol,
England in 1992. David Pearce was the core member of the group, and Rachel
Brook (of Movietone, another Bristol band) was a member for most of the
band's lifetime.
The band were marked by quiet vocals and sheets of feedback with
similarities to contemporary shoegazing bands, or The Jesus and Mary
Chain. FSA were able to create a small but enthusiastic fanbase as one of
the more remarkable experimental bands of the day. The band were notable
for recording most of their output at home into a normal home stereo
system, avoiding recording studios as much as they could. This gave their
music a DIY feel and gave them the freedom to experiment as much as they
wanted.
Other allied bands, often sharing musicians, were Crescent, The Third Eye
Foundation, Light and Amp. Many of the principal musicians involved,
including Pearce, attended Farnham Art College in the late 1980s. Pea
