The Wirral's greatest treasures and one of the world's greatest un-hyped bands. You'd be hard pressed to know they were still going if it wasn't for the odd (yep very odd) release escaping from Probe records.
Not ones to blow much of a trumpet for themselves either, whilst most bands hit the road on gruelling world tours to promote the latest disc, the Biscuits find a remote club for a one off appearance. Although 2013 is looking positively hectic with four gigs already announced.
I've no idea what the rest of the world would make of the Biscuits, understanding them and their song references is the first challenge but all that should change with one listen to
The Trumpton Riots.
First pick from the catalogue is
Back in the D.H.S.S.
every track is raw, funny and bonkers -
Fuck'n' 'Ell it's Fred Titmus, I Hate Nerys Hughes, The Trumpton Riots and
Time Flies By. Acd
brings together a compilation of tracks plus live takes and is just as infectious, with a nod to Ian Dury -
Reasons to be Miserable (part 10), Dickie Davies Eyes and
Sealclubbing.
If these two get you hooked then start on the rest,
Some Call It Godcore brings you
Sensitive Outsider, £24.99 From Argos and the epic
Tour Jacket With Detachable Sleeves.
Voyage To The Bottom Of The Road
has
Bad Review and
Paintball's Coming Home.
Four Lads Who Shook the Wirral
includes
Four Skinny Indie Kids and
You're Hard.
This Leaden Pall
Running Order Squabble Fest and
4AD3DCD
