F.Y.P (aka Five Year Plan) was former World Industries/Liberty pro-skater Todd Congelliere’s rock and pop-punk band from San Pedro, CA. The group began in 1989 as a one man band with a cheap Fisher Price drum machine providing the beat. F.Y.P gained notoriety in the DIY punk scene for touring the world several times before disbanding in 1999.
Todd Congelliere has been steadily releasing records of his own and of similarly minded individuals via his Recess Records imprint. Todd C’s releases may be the highlight though; between F.Y.P.’s early bratty punk, to the more mature melodicism of The Underground Railroad to Candyland, Toys that Kill (named for a F.Y.P album), Clown Sounds, and even a band with Mike Watt called Jumpstarted Plowhards, Congelliere’s pop sensibility has only blossomed with age, churning out more and more memorable records as the years have rolled on.
In 2012, original members Congelliere and Sean Cole with two other members of Toys That Kill, bassist Casey (Chachi) Ferrara and drummer Mike “Jimmy Jackets” Felix, reunited as F.Y.P.
