Remember that song Video Killed The Radio Star? Frankly, we're pleased that video killed the radio star because we always thought the radio star was always a bit of a twat, and he probably had it coming.
Especially if the video in question is as fearsome as BlankTV is. BlankTV boasts that it has the largest collection of punk and indie videos anywhere
...You know what we like? We like Ladyfuzz - the hecklerspray-interviewed experimental pop group who never fail to bring a big dumb grin to our faces. You know what else we like? We like The Go! Team - the hecklerspray-interviewed (twice) party-machines who bring a similar-sized grin to our faces.
Now, imagine if one of
...No, you're not seeing things. That is a picture of a member of The Bronx - the band who recorded an album of songs like Shitty Future and Rape Zombie into one of Hitler's old microphones in a disused methadone clinic - dressed as a big fluffy rabbit.

...Here's a sort of hecklerspray exclusive for you, the unofficial video for I Wish by Candie Payne. OK, so it's not technically an exclusive since it's all over YouTube, but I Wish isn't out until next year so shut up.
Candie Payne is probably the most perfect pop star in the universe at the moment. Candie Payne is young and astoundingly beautiful
...Never let it be said that hecklerspray doesn't champion noisily generic indie music made by young pups with bad haircuts, that's what we say. And exhibit A is the 40 Days And 40 Nights video by The Enemy.
Quite who The Enemy are enemies of isn't really clear - it could be hairdressers or it could equally be
