"In North America, there are signs that the moustache is rallying, even if somewhat ironically: indie bands, such as Britain’s Moustache Of Insanity, and celebrities Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom have made some powerful lip statements." - The National (Dubai newspaper)
"god awful out of tune vocals, but an endearing plinky plonk tune" - Russell's Reviews (on Living Room Picnic)
"officially one of our favorite new twee pop bands...If you like to have a good time, we urge you to check these guys out." - Viva Indie Rock blog (North Carolina, US of A)
"With the capacity to be both heart-felt and silly at the same time, Moustache of Insanity are a joy to behold. The lo-fi aesthetics and wry confessional lyrics recall anti-folk, but the sound is bouncy indie pop that's more infectious than swine flu. (Sorry, that was terrible.)" - The Gentle Invasion, Edinburgh
"jouyously daft and enjoyable" - Cancel The Astronauts blog
"These guys are brilliant. Twee-casio-pop ahoy, they are a bit like Moldy Peaches with tiny keyboards and facial hair. One of the most fun bands we've heard in a while." - Pull Yourself Together, Manchester
"Silly and fun casio-pop" - indiepages.com (DEMO OF THE WEEK - 20th April 09)
"a daft combination of twee bedroom pop and the Moldy Peaches at their most cutesy" - Indie MP3
"The Morecambe and Wise of Casio pop" - Little Other blog
Oh Oh, spaghetti-o's!
Our self-titled EP/mini-album is now almost sold out! If you want one of the last twenty or so copies you can still order it from WeePOP! Records. When it's gone it's gone. It has nine brand new songs on it and comes with a 12-page comic made by our very good friend James Paterson. Also, each copy of the EP comes with a unique badge, made by Nik. Woo. Really, they're all different and it took forever...see.

I'm pooped? Aren't we all as we dissolve? Hope you had a nice weekend. Mine lasted a fortnight. Let's prance look askance then dance till the ants in your pants go to France. Attention: newly registered Str8 Sounds Free Monthly Lyrics Club member, this is your Welcome Message. Get all your 12 friends to join today. We guarantee you'll regret, I mean not forget, it. Also: listen to anti-phallo-fascist "More Sex" for an uplifting repressive euphoria! Patriotically Correct in every Dada aspect, no defect! Reminder: "Anarchist in the Head Shop" is a true story of a Saturday stroll to downtown, distributing hard to inflict free Str8 Sounds CDs.
