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 – 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 – Yoav

by Matthew Laidlow

Originally, the artist featured in this week’s trawl was actually going to be lumped into a gig review.

But then we realised we’d already reviewed Underworld in October, so doing it a few months later would be daft. And we couldn’t be bothered with the random and strange abusive comments we’d probably be left. But that’s a slight lie. This briefer-than-normal trawl will bang on a bit about our live encounter with Yoav.

MySpace Trawl – Betamaxx

by Matthew Laidlow

It’s odd what you find by mistake. Whilst looking for the remote control the other day, we managed to find a few weapons of mass destruction, five pencils complete with chew marks and a sandwich.

It wasn’t what we were looking for, but it was as a pleasant surprise. Apart from the WMDs though, we are now sprouting unusual amounts of body hair and we’ve have had the UN round for a chat over a pot of herbal tea.

Anyway, we were recently searching Google for ‘betamax’ for a completely random reason, and up popped a link to the band Betamaxx. And they’re ace. Yay.

MySpace Trawl – The Soul’s Release

by Matthew Laidlow

Sometimes you just that special time to relax, unwind and forget about everything.

Wouldn’t it be ideal just to pause everything that’s going on around you and just sit in silence whilst reflecting the world around you? We can’t quite do that due to the staff at hecklerspray not quite cracking the secret of time travel, but we can offer you some sort of soothing and calming alternative.

MySpace Trawl – Rolo Tomassi

by Matthew Laidlow

In an almost GMTV-esque gimmick, last week we asked you to try and work out the band we have lined up for you as part of our first trawl for 2008.

With literally zero responses coming in, we assume that people didn’t want to spoil the excitement in the little comment box thing below. Because it’s a new year and all that, we don’t really have any real reason as to why we are recommending this lot this week. It’s probably more down to the fact that they make us mosh a lot. So much so that we have now broken three tables, two chairs, a microwave and burst a bottle of bleach with our antics. The hecklerspray office is in a bad state. We blame Rolo Tomassi for this.
