Let us just start by apologising for this "automatic comment" thing. We know it's annoying when bands you've never heard of spam your myspace.
However, this isn't meant to be spam. This is just a humble invite for you to come to our myspace, have a listen to the music and leave us some feedback? We'd really appreciate it, and we'll always reply to you.
Hope to hear from you soon (if we haven't already)
Hey guys, EXCELLENT work on tonight's ep of Spicks and Specks! I'd heard you were playing sometime in March and was looking forward to it =) I just wish you'd played at the end :(
