Drawn together by an inexplicable force (must have been the curly fries) they started playing a fusion of rock musics from several decades. Equal parts ELO, Goo Goo Dolls, and the Ramones, Pimp Angel threatens to break free of ths bonds of Guilderland and onto the stages of Rensselaer, Troy, and maybe one day even Endicott.

Veterans of Muddy's Too in Menands, they hope one day to actually land a dream-gig in Northampton opening for Evan, though they hate the Skidmore crowd.

Grunt Buttruck

L-R: Torsion Vibrato- gt., vox/ Kyle Claspclams: Bass, Lyricist/ Steve Dave Alvarado: other guitar, other vox / "Giggling" Brent Bostoph: Drums, and odd goings on!

Grunt Buttruck set up up shop in Tampa, where Torsion and Brent first met at Busch Gardens, as "car/monkey interventionists" the pair quickly made friends working side by side in the gardens of Busch's exalted drive through safari. Discovering a love the both shared for faux-hawks, pre teen sex, and banality, they recruited local Microphthalmia sufferer Claspclams, purported to be "sick, bro" on the bass guitar, never-minding his almost preternatural ability to seem enflamed.

The band quickly became hot around the greater Tampa area, picking up fans, and statutory rape allegations everywhere the feisty trio dropped its egregious live assault. Bassist/lyricist Claspclams was quoted as calling it "Rap/metal (with a message)", and few could disagree.

When the record contracts came a courtin' the band decided to sign with LaFace (natch) and picked up confused additional member Steve Dave Alvarado, and some considerable tattoos. Your daughter loves them despite (or because of) the fact that the drummer tried to kill himself with a gillete 5 blade razor (hence the bandage featured in this promo shot for Jackasses against death® charities).

can you write the bio for my band AUTOCODE
inspired after the GRUNT BUTTRUCK reading. please slay away!

The Freshman Poetics:

Harry "Caray" Kennedy - drums
Andrew Fleischer - guitar
Matt Higginbotham - bass
Dean J. Quick - vocals

Fresh out of the local festival circuit, The Freshman Poetics are ready to romance your ears with the newest and freshest alternative rock to hit the radio this minute. Formed in 2002 by drummer Harry "Caray" Kennedy ("I'm a Yankees fan," he jokes winningly), the members met in high school and instantly found the kind of chemistry that sends bands like Good Charlotte into the stratosphere. The heart-on-sleeve atmospherics and rugged, muscular chord sequences will cause excitement in even the most hardened and cynical listener, and the occasional funk influences that finger-poppin' bassist Matt Higginbotham exhibits adds a near-danceable kick. Led by the earnest, high-pitched warble of frontman Dean J. Quick, the band's singles "I Cried On Prom Night" and "Diary Song; 3 AM" have been storming up the charts of alternative radio. The songs' intensely emotional lyrics, penned by quietly intense guitarist Andrew Fleischer (who prefers to answer all questions about the songs' lyrical origins with the phrase, "It happened a long time ago and it hurt me in ways you'll never know"), have the kind of simple eloquence that moves the goths and the jocks equally. Coming soon to a stage near you!

TURTLEHEAD SYNDROME

This is a gutsy out reach for four guys
who met in a bar, met on the train,
met in the laundrymat. Bill met Todd
met Joe . Upon meeting they call ed
and name themselves, others. While
the purchse of a van they chose. the others.

In a panic of pure inspiration, drugs were
assumed, They chose a multisyllable two-word
name. Life has gotten easier. Now they have
to assume correct attitudes, and instrument
personalities. You can bet that as soon as they
purchase instruments; they'll be comming to a town near you.

Wouldn't that rule? Public execution of all the emo puffs in america...I can see it now. And it is good. I'm convinced the popularity of emo is another of the key steps in the continuing process of what George Carlin termed "America's pussyfication."
