You've got transmission trouble. Hear that knocking and pinging? That's how you know.
The members of Mess up the Mess! first came together at a far-flung dojo where each had come to devote herself/himself to the mastery of the martial arts technique known as the quivering palm- aka "the touch of death." During their downtime they decided to form an upbeat musical combo through which they could channel their rage and frustration- for one must never use the ancient arts in anger. Interestingly enough, at one time or another the members have applied the quivering palm to each other- so it's anyone's guess when they will all drop dead. It adds an element of excitment to the shows-will today be the day one of their hearts explodes? Could be, could be not. You'll have to come and see. In the meantime enjoy their brand of jangly messcore- the musical equivalent of the touch of death- and just see if your own heart doesn't explode.

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
Really enjoying the music I've heard thus far, and shall order the full album soon. I especailly enjoy "You're not my Meyer's Briggs type," considering that as a single INFP, I have tangled with a couple ESTJs in the romance department. Anyways, feel free to come to the west coast some time!
