the most loved, sharp-witted, danceable, fun, energetic and hilariously
demented band in bristol. but far from being a novelty act, joff (drumming,
yelps) and simon (guitar, handsome voice) have a knowledge and enthusiasm
for music that takes in gospel, country, motown, doo wop and bubblegum
pop, but they come across like if punk rock happened in the fifties, like
a hardcore buddy holly... and they are as eclecticism in their songwriting,
with subjects concerning everything from boy-trouble to libraries to dogs
to mary wilson.
"imagine jonathan richman, early elvis costello, thee headcoats mixed
with ren and stimpy and your getting close." - barbelith underground
you have to try really hard not to love this band. they've made devoted
fans of everyone from the seconds, the rogers sisters, erase errata...
kula shaker! and soon you!
their new album, all the new mistakes has just been released
by cowboy musik!
bucky also make up one half of the lonely ponies alongside my two toms,
who's 10" lp is out now on stitch-stitch records.

the corey-o's (full name: corey orbison) are a pure-heart-stop-start-noise-nik
three piece outfit based both in london and bristol and neck deep in the
current uk diy feminist-punk-kid-affair, born from the craving of young
hearts and a fervour for connection in a cold, cold world. lisa (headfall,
cupcake, fake blood) does the drumming tight and swingin. michal (lil'
targets, awkward dancers, baby cupid) plays treble guitar sharp, percussive
and screams. and irene (lesbo pig, maggie fortune) plays the bass guitar,
melodic and shouts.
not afraid to make a mess and break the rules, injecting hardcore-punk
with a healthy sense of wimpiness, blossom dearie, spazz-out noise, sloppiness
and fun. they are smart kids with sharp instruments and tuff-enuff looks.
