Myspace Trawl – Trifonic

by Matthew Laidlow

After a few weeks of seemingly pissing people off with music from both ends of the extreme spectrum, we’re back to offer something more accessible. Oh, it’s also bloody fantastic to if we don’t mind speaking too soon. We don’t really like people sending us messages telling us how awesome a band’s friends think they [...]

MySpace Trawl – Anal C***

by Matthew Laidlow

Is it safe to come out yet?

Last week’s recommendation of chiptune seemed to annoy a few people and get too nerdy and technical for our liking. Seriously, if something made out of a razor blade, phonebook and a mobile phone makes us feel grooved up, we’ll listen. We’re only snobby about our crisps. If they ain’t Walker’s cheese and onion, they simply won’t do darling.

Because it seems a few folk were pissed off with a few bleepy sounds and beats, we thought this week we’d give you the chance to listen to a band that pushes all boundaries. Be it their tasteful name or song subject matter. We believe everyone will love a slab of sheer anger from Anal Cunt. Or send us sackfuls of hate-filled comments because its not the sort of music that would appear on Skins. Boo fucking hoo.

Anal Cunt produce music that makes every supposed hardcore punk look like a little fairy who prances around with cupcakes whilst riding on a rainbow in pixie land.

Normal service may be resumed next week. Unless you want more of this?

MySpace Trawl – David E Sugar

by Matthew Laidlow

We don’t admit to being cool and if for some reason you are devoted to our every word, then er… we’ll send you a special sticker or something to show you some loyalty.

Here at hecklerspray towers, we love everyone. Especially those who occasionally send us free things. Random presents are always appreciated, be it boxes of crisps or half-drunk bottles of wine.

One thing we don’t like is when big artists treat everyone else like dog doo. You may be a multi-platinum superstar, but nothing angers us more when someone pushes in front of us at the pub. That is unless you’re buying something for us. Even still, we prefer artists who firstly make great music and wouldn’t mind talking to us before/after a gig. We think David E Sugar would.

MySpace Trawl – Shitmat

by Matthew Laidlow

Ever thought that music sometimes takes itself a bit too seriously?

Artists behave like total dickheads if their PA doesn’t bring their pasty to them on time or if their water isn’t chilled to perfection. The industry can be the same sometimes. If a band doesn’t sell a billion copies of its guff-sounding record, then heads will roll and it could be the beginning of the end for your life as a musician.

Sometimes we just want to listen to people who are obviously having fun with what they’re doing. Maybe selling a million isn’t an aim, but instead just having fun in what they’re making and entertaining the masses at gigs. Shitmat is one such artist, he’s been on our radar for yonks now and we thought it was about time for you to listen to some comedy sampling,mashcore with sprinklings of breakcore, hardcore and drum & bass all chucked in.

MySpace Trawl – Lykke Li

by Matthew Laidlow

Female singers, they’re all the range at the minute aren’t they?

Over the last year and a bit, the UK has spat out quite a few of these creatures that have gone on to sell many records. And subsequently make some fat man in a suit rich enough so he can wipe his arse with £20 notes.

Most of them, though, have come from the bloody Brit School of music. This place is worse than Borstal in terms of unleashing dangerous musical predators on to the street. Frankly, we are a bit sick of one place churning out the same thing. It stops other females such as the already trawled Beth Rowley and Laura Marley a look in.

Such dominance from the same band of artists also stops top class foreign females from getting an airplay. So this is why we have to bring Lykke Li to your attention.

Myspace Trawl- Daggers

by Matthew Laidlow

Fear not, we’re not promoting stabbing and gang violence yet – we’ll leave that for Grand Theft Auto IV. Well, that’s if you believe The Sun anyway.

For this week’s musical offering, we remain in Manchester. Everyone loves Manchester; it gave us Oasis who made two decent albums many years ago. We also got a comedy grump in the form of Morrissey. The meat hating rocker has many a follower.

But those two particular artists lack a certain sound. It’s the hint of any electronics, or if you’d prefer to call them, ‘those computer-sounding bits.’ Ever since New Order got all pissy with each other, the city needs a new dominating electronic-influenced band. We may have just found one with Daggers.

MySpace Trawl – Tim And Sam’s Tim And The Sam Band With Tim And Sam

by Matthew Laidlow

We bet you a piece of chewing gum, 17p from our wallets and a can of Fanta that you can’t name the people in this band.

Feeling confident? You probably would with the name Tim and Sam mentioned multiple times in the band name. However, our insides are soon to be turned orange as you give us cans of fizzy orange sugar water. You see, there are five people in the band. Tim, Adam, Becca, Kathryn and Richard.

But besides petty betting over worthless things, we’re here to remind you of the amazing music we’ve bumped into on our internet journey. Hailing from Manchester, a city dripping in musical history, we found Tim And Sam’s Band [TASB for short]. Their melting pot of vast musical instrumentation makes for a listen that sounds like nothing out there at the moment.

MySpace Trawl – Alan Titmash

by Matthew Laidlow

You know when you see something, think it’s a bit dodgy and have to revisit the same thing again? Well that happens a lot to us.

In an almost everyday occurrence, we rub our eyes in amazement at the things we see and hear. From talking dogs to 20-foot-tall people. We often don’t believe ourselves, though our alcoholism probably doesn’t help us deceiver fact from fiction.

When we discovered Alan Titmash we were slightly alarmed to think that the former Ground Force gardener has ventured in to the world of electronics. Sadly we were wrong, Mr Titchmarsh is presenting bad chat shows on ITV and not making music. Still, gardencore isn’t a real genre, so there could be time for him yet.

MySpace Trawl – The Bobby McGee’s

by Matthew Laidlow

A band usually needs instruments to work. Or if you’re a clever sod, you can just beat box.

Not only does it look really clever, but you’ll make everyone stupidly go home and attempt to do the same thing, only to end up sounding like a bit of a twat. Amazingly, it takes years of practice to get the skill right. It’s not something you can pick up after a few pints.

However, this isn’t about finding the next generation of incredibly ace beat boxers. Instead, instruments. A traditional band uses guitars, drums, the occasional keyboard and a bass guitar. But when people choose not to do so, the result can be either horrible or enjoyable. Obviously, we’ve picked a band that falls under the latter option. After watching The Bobby McGee’s, we were suitably impressed.

MySpace Trawl – Child Of Hatred

by Matthew Laidlow

Yes we know, you should never judge a book by its cover, but that’s what we have done. So blah to you.

If anyone wants to complain, bring it. We feel more than capable of taking you on. And if you do cause us trouble, our trusty wooden chip fork will come in handy. With a name like Child Of Hatred, we were immediately drawn to him.

Did we expect to hear music that would soundtrack fluffy bunnies whilst they went to market to buy a pound of sausage from mother goose? No, not really. In retrospect, we assumed it would be the sort of music you’d here as a group of angry magical foxes slaughtered the rabbits for their house. And we were right. Not about the animals, we’re just weird, but about some the music.
