Sounds Like
Well, we used to sound like experimental breakbeat mixed with satirical samples and Steampunk mechanical textures - then we decided singing blasphemous lyrics over a ukulele and an avalanche of unusual percussion was much more fun. So we do that now.

About Good Soldier Svejk (Foul-mouthed Music Merchants)
http://soundcloud.comGood Soldier Svejk
Good Soldier Svejk formed over a bottle of Absinthe bought back from the Czech Republic, drinking a third of it before setting light to a coffee table with the rest. They stole their name from the famous satirical novel by Jaroslav Hasek, experimenting with various spellings according to how stupid they thought their reviewers might be.
They received some small but enthusiastic write-ups from the good folk at Future Music Magazine and a nice 8/10 from Radio 1 for their "Here Comes Hell In A Handbasket" demo. DJ Dave Pierce even managed to pronounce "Svejk" correctly. (Rhymes with bake).
Things went quiet for a while when Svejk main man T. Edward Devilish took some time off to write his first novel, Kingdom Of The Burning Cow, (available to buy from www.lulu.com/content/538585 and Amazon) and established the Sinister Research Facility publishing company (www.myspace.com/sinisterresearchfacility). Now they're back with a new experimental acoustic sound and a truck-load of articulate offensive lyrics for the moral majority to fume over!
