Sounds Like
Jello Biafra and Tom Waits getting into a bar fight in South Korea, which actually happened.
After being deported from the EU after a promising few months on the Prague music scene, T.C. McManus plays accordion like you've never heard before.
A newspaper in America described him as “celtic-gypsy punk,” another likened his stage presence to a “madman escaped from the asylum.” But that only begins to describe it. Equal parts punk rock and world music, He is as likely to play a centuries-old Korean love song as a Dead Kennedys cover. His darkly comedic original songs create an atmosphere of tongue-in-cheek punk rock angst, featuring titles like “The Sea Chantey of Self Pity,” and “When Politicians Talk to God.”
And without exception, his songs go well with beer.

Thanks for being on our friend's list, YOU rock!! If you haven't already come check out the tunes on our page...Sure we're a bit cocky and we can't stop droppin f bombs but we write str8 from the heart!!!..lol
Leave us some comments and let us know what you think our best song is.
kick ass, your music makes me want to eat the skin off of someone's face, and then puke it up and wear it as my own face, so keep rocking;] Hope to roll with you on some concerts!
I love your new song. I love the fact that you rhyme "bomb" with "aplomb". And I love the fact that the P in "Korean Pop" is capital, but not in the other two.
