   About LIBEL

Free download of our album "The Prolonged Insult" at our Bandcamp.com page.

Check out more videos at our YouTube channel.

"This then? This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty... what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off-key perhaps, but I will sing. I will sing while you croak, I will dance over your dirty corpse...." -- Henry Miller

Is your LIBEL not fresh? We'll get you a new one post haste.

After LIBEL pees, the bathroom always smells like tuna fish.

Man, I got LIBEL stuck up there once and it took three doctors, five nurses, two chiropractors, a Nepalese mystic and a tree surgeon to get it out.

LIBEL says fuck your slow dead scene... Or was it slow dancing?

LIBEL comes with more pieces than listed on the box.

LIBEL is not a substitute for dialysis.

Your granny heard LIBEL and felt that "old feeling" in her ladyparts.

LIBEL pities not only the fool, but also his extended family.

LIBEL is in phase three testing for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

Put LIBEL in your coffee for that extra boost you normally get from the amphetamines.

LIBEL is disappointed your toilet clogs so easily.

LIBEL does bite its thumb at thee.

LIBEL will draw you a warm bath, tell you how pretty you look, and brush your hair before dragging out the cat o' nine tails.

How many ways can LIBEL say that it doesn't want your damn cookies?

I have the same problem. Although I'm getting better, it's 2:26 and I'm thinking of calling it quits soon. But seriously. I think I'm crazy. Or I need a vacation. Hah. Well maybe it's just a sign of genius! Here's to hoping.
