In this day and age,many bands have come and gone.
Thus,it's nice to have a band that's never going
ANYWHERE.
Formed from the ashes of a relatively unknown band
from England,'the Beatles',GNFPWCP came together at
the grand opening of the new Adult Mart on E. 55th and
Scovill. Drummer Carl Holt,who once played with Gladys
Knight and then Pips (legit),initially came close to
fisticuffs with guitarist Ted Flynn over the last copy
on the shelf of "Ohio Connection". Luckily,Nick
Licata,also on guitar,suggested downing a few cases of
Little Kings in the parking lot and hugging it
out,bitch. The 3 bonded over their mutual love of
Korean guitars,contraceptive foams and jellys,and the
medicinal effects of Rohypnol. The three decided it
best to channel their energy into an acid-rock band
designed to lure bimbos into suck/fuck orgies.
Bassist/vocalist Tony Erba,who's played with
himself (also legit),came along a few practices later.
The band needed a defining frontman,or possibly just a
chunky semi-retarded dirtbag who had a running car.
Erba,who lists his influences as 'poisoning pigeons
with Alka-Seltzer' and 'collecting farts',was a
natural. Or at least available on Saturdays from 3-5.
Soon,the band had written it's first few
songs,including the smash club hit "Holy Fucking Shit
(Man Walks On Goddamm Moon)", the tender ballad
"Harder Than Chinese Math For You,Baby" and the magnum
opus "Chicken Soup For The Rapists's Soul" and were on
their way to being guest judges on the NBC hit show
"Dancing With the SARS". All this attention hasn't
changed them in the least,however. As Ted put it as he
was hustled into his Monza, "You plebes now know
you've seen greatness. God walks amongst you,swine!
Now suck this dick!"
It's just this can-do attitude combined with the
kicky spirit of middle-aged youth that puts GNFPWCP at
the heart of today's swinging teen set as well as on
the lips of the North Coast's grizzled rock scribes.
John Petkovic of the Plain Dealer has raved "Do NOT
miss this band. Especially when you're doing 83 MPH
and hopped-up on Boone's Farm whilst driving towards
them on the opposite side of the road". DX Ferris of
Scene Magazine comments "Credit Problems (or,as
they're known on the Arab street,simply "the Prob")
are a national treasure,and,as such,should be properly
buried" and TV 5's Dorothy Fulheim simply moaned
gutterly.
But it's not the attention from ertswhile rock
scribes or pre-pubescent bedwetters that are whom "The
Prob" aim to please. It's YOU! Yes,YOU,the convicted
pederast! YOU,the latent homosexual! YOU,the Beachland
barmaid with negotiable morals! YOU,the handwiping
Painesvillian with the bathtub meth distributorship!
And YOU,the hipster who speaks Klingon,dates the
armrest on his couch and thrills to new espisodes of
"CSI:Norwalk"! Good News For People With Credit
Problems plays for you,the collective foam in the piss
of Cleveland! And as long as the fellas can open
another pack of whippets,they will be the People's
Band! Praise Be Allah,and pass the video head cleaner!
