Fu Manchu is a Southern Californian stoner rock band, who released their debut single "Kept Between Trees" in 1990. Rolling Stone describes their sound as: "Super heavy and bass happy Detroit rock 'n' roll is totally deep-fried, fuzzed out, window breakin', pot sellin', sleepin-in-the-van, skater metal." The lyrics on Fu Manchu's releases tend to stick to the topics of pinball, muscle cars, UFOs/Bigfoot, and skateboarding. They have been featured on compilations put together by Tony Hawk and ESPN's X Games, invited to perform on the US television program Monster Garage, and featured in the documentary about skateboarding's founding crews, Dogtown and Z-Boys. Fu Manchu originally formed in 1987 as a hardcore punk band called Virulence. Their primary influences were the bands Black Flag and Bl'ast.

Casts his shadow miles across the sun
Keepin them in sight when they run
All of a sudden we hear the 4 send
Trackin 50 feet above my head
(chorus)
Like we seen it so... there it goes x2
Beam in grip - for years
Never found... we here
Taking giant strides upright
No remains, they die
(chorus)
Un-iden-ti-fied(repeated till end)
