Debut album “Frump Experiments” was released in 2000 as a limited pressing sold only to fans at gigs. The band's first full release was “Total Sonic Mayhem” on the Thundersqueak label in 2002, which consisted partly of some remastered songs from Frump Experiments and some of the tracks included on unofficial Total Sonic Mayhem Session 2 bootleg (finally issued officially for download here in 2014). 2004 album/EP “Offensive” consisted of four new songs and four previously released songs, including live favourite "Idiot", as bonus tracks.
In 2006, the band changed name to UFX and released the album “Crack" and in 2009 the "Sick Sick Sex" album was released.
On 26 January 2014, after a 3 year hiatus, the band's final album "Reverse Engineering (Exits Exist)" is officially released on Last FM and made available for full download .
K-Hole
UFX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd go dancing every night
In a dark club we'd feel alive
Dropping pills just to pass the time
Caroline was just a friend of mine
No romancing at any time
Then she discovered ketamine
The k-hole swallowed her alive
You want it, you gotta
Get down on it
Go down on me now
You want it, you gotta
Get down on it
Go down on me now
Said inside there's no sense of time
Entities she met weren't in her mind
She began to neglect her life
Pretty soon she'd left me behind
Caroline was just a friend of mine
No romancing at any time
Then she discovered ketamine
The k-hole swallowed her alive
You want it, you gotta
Get down on it
Go down on me now
You want it, you gotta
Get down on it
Go down on me now
The lyrics to UFX's song "K-Hole" tell the story of a girl named Caroline who was once a friend of the singer. The two enjoyed going out dancing at night and taking drugs to pass the time. However, Caroline's use of ketamine, a powerful dissociative drug, began to take over her life. She fell into the "k-hole," a term used to describe the intense disassociation and loss of sense of self that ketamine can bring on. Caroline was no longer present in her own life and began to neglect her responsibilities and relationships, ultimately leaving the singer behind.
The chorus of the song, "You want it, you gotta get down on it, go down on me now," seems to allude to the sense of desperation and pleading the singer feels towards Caroline. Perhaps they hope that intimacy will be enough to bring Caroline back from the grip of addiction.
Overall, "K-Hole" seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use and the devastating impact it can have on individuals and relationships.

Caroline was a friend of mine
Caroline used to be my friend
We'd go dancing every night
We used to dance every night
In a dark club we'd feel alive
The dark club made us feel alive
Dropping pills just to pass the time
We took pills to kill time
Caroline was just a friend of mine
I never had a romantic relationship with Caroline
No romancing at any time
We were never romantically involved
Then she discovered ketamine
She started using Ketamine
The k-hole swallowed her alive
She became addicted to Ketamine
You want it, you gotta
If you want something, you have to
Get down on it
Do whatever it takes to get it
Go down on me now
Do it now
Said inside there's no sense of time
She lost track of time
Entities she met weren't in her mind
She had hallucinations
She began to neglect her life
She stopped caring about her life
Pretty soon she'd left me behind
She moved on and left me behind
You want it, you gotta
If you want something, you have to
Get down on it
Do whatever it takes to get it
Go down on me now
Do it now
