Early 2008 has seen the formation, fruition and near stagnation of one of the world’s most uniquely idiosyncratic, enigmatic punk outfits. What little is known of highly eccentric Tyneside based SHITSWARM follows:
Shielded by a cloak of suspicion and anonymity, it is rumoured that the four band members do not acknowledge one another's real names because they do not actually know them. Their pseudonyms are GOBSHITE (vocals), BIGHEED (guitar), PSYCHO (bass), and THICKIE (drums).
Their one and only interview, with Australia's most famous former call girl, jaded hack Daisy Gorge, was conducted in full beekeeper garb so none of their features were visible.
The current direction of SHITSWARM was altered somewhat by the band’s decision to abandon all plans that would involve live performance. Accusing long-standing acts of participating in an ongoing nostalgia circus, not to mention their total refusal to play in any venue that actively enforces a smoking ban, as well as a reluctance to be photographed by mobile phones, SHITSWARM has issued the following statement: “When playing live is virtually dead, why bother?”
Seemingly as self-restricting as their no-gig policy, is their uncompromising decision concerning distribution. They have chosen not to seek the backing of any record label with major corporate links, who they feel would be using their message as part of a separate programme of manufactured dissent.
Although often ostracised for what has been described as a highly cynical attitude, coupled with a contentious world view that many have found challenging in the extreme, the members of SHITSWARM are at present marginalised even further, but satisfied that they have established their own ground rules by standing firm on their own said ground, totally in keeping with the original stated aims and objectives of punk!
hahahaha, yeah, I knew you'd say something like that! I am hoping that we find out more truths to all of the rumors. I never did understand why he went white and then came out with that song, "It don't matter if you're black or white" because he was suddenly white haha. Then he got all those crazy face jobs and looked like a freak. Other than that tho, his music was awesome and incredibly magical! Too bad his personal crazy life shadows his musical talents and will forever!
ay up slack knackers. did you send that ginger radgie duck wifey to my door ? any road a dinnit care if ya did. if ya go ta jess's b/day bash by her a drink off me marra, an al owe ya one. am away so am gonna miss it. am gutted.
I don’t reproach you for not wanting to collaborate with me; I was just explaining to Sathe that I’m not the femme fatale that you make me out to be! Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel like I was having a go at you. And we could always collaborate by email, although I’m sure you’re very busy finishing your album at the moment.
Anyway, I see from Sathes comment that congratulations are in order and that you are going to become Sath’s Step-Dad! That’s really brilliant news! Terry seems like a really lovely lady.
YOU ARE INVITED TO NATASHA..S BDAY BASH AT THE CLARA THERE WILL BE CAKE. THERE IS ALSO 2 POP ARTS TO RAFFLE(THE CLASH AND U.K.SUBS) THE MONEY GOING TO CANCER RESEARCH. HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT..!!!
Who is this “Chris Rock”?
I question his credentials as an authority on Classical Studies. I got a grade 1 CSE in Classical Studies at
Sindy School. Anyway, I never thought
you wanted to do anything to me that is illegal in Alabama, but you have gone
on about Plato in the past and his silly Republic books. Was it him or Socrates that didn’t believe in
atoms?
There’s no need to apologise for the swearing Silly!
Why thank you! I just love the SHITSWARM part of your name. It rolls from the tongue very nicely and with the right tone, is properly condescending. =]
No, nobody said that found me annoying, I thought myself that maybe you found me annoying. (You know; when I’ve criticised you for your un-punk like hippy buffoonery, or tedious sixth form twaddle.)
I remember from classical studies what a Platonic relationship originally meant. At the time of Plato, it was considered that sex between men and women was merely a mechanism for reproduction, and that sex could only become an expression of true love when it was between two men, since women were supposed to be too shallow to appreciate it fully. Is that what Chris Rock said? We Sindy Dolls are above and beyond such things anyway. Anyway, everyone knows that the ancient Greeks were too busy going on about triangles to get up to much “Platonic” activity: “Hey, Pythagoras, are you going round to see Isosceles tonight? He’s got a new triangle, like two of your right angel triangles back to back.” “No thanks, I’ll be hanging out round Scalene’s place, his triangles are just totally crazy man!”
I hope you and the Swarm are having a nice weekend Psycho, and thank you for recommending me to Terry!
