Imagine a maths student let loose with a guitar, a die-hard Help She Can't Swim fan allowed a mic, your hyperactive ADHD-riddled younger brother given a drum kit to play with and an ardent shoegazer tripping his way around a bass guitar. We're probably nothing like what your fucked up brain came up with, mind.
Not Pockets Full Of Matches or Fistful Of Matches or Pockets Filled With Magic or Matches Filled With... er, Pockets Of... erm... what???
It's POCKETS FILLED WITH MATCHES. We went to the trouble of choosing an unnessacarily long and difficult to remember band name so you could experience the joy of learning it. Thanks for that.
We hail from Sheffield And The Surrounding Area, UK. We've been together about a year. Elie and Paul started it so blame them. Adam and Ian were lured into it with the promise of Wrestlemania tickets and leather-clad nymphomaniacs bearing opiates, respectively. Neither have thus far been delivered. We eat shitloads of biscuits and swear lots.
There's some tunes up there ↑ what we recorded with superduperüberproducer 'Saint' Alan Smyth of 2Fly Studios in Sheff. It was fun. And then some from G2, which was just as fun, according to local PFWM historians. Oh, and the odd live track. Just to prove we gig. Honestly, we do, you should check it out.
If you are one of the Amazing People who put on shows, put out records, write for fanzines or just like to jump around to our particular brand of noise and want to get in touch with us then don't be shy. Either send us a myspace message or whack a big fat steaming e-mail in this frankly underused inbox:

Thanks a fucking bunch, Pockets xxxx

Sad times are afoot! It's all about to end. Yes, Oh My Word! will be playing their final gig on Tuesday 15th September 2009. We hope you can attend this "FUNERAL SPECIAL"!
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.

We have all the info on what's been happening in our new blog. We are playing shows again so come see one and come talk to us. -and again sorry for commenting like this. thanks american art
