Freshly Baked Biscuits - Week 1, 0 and Before...

So here's a little history on The Crunchy Biscuits. Back when we were a fresh faced spritely lot the Biscuits had their origins in one off sessions round people's houses. Such delectable tunes as Pubic Yeah, High on Lemsip (Low on Love) and Queen of England graced our ears.

Another Cohort of the Crunchy Biscuits jammed in those days:


He has gone by the aliases Jacko, Jim and James, is a tall lanky lad and has moves that could put Mick Jagger to shame.

Yours truly didn't officially join till after that. And of course this was in the days before we took to the studio so jamming was a pretty rare thing.
Still we kept talking about our dreams and passions for the band and I like to think sheer enthusiasm kept the fires burning.

Around February/March of this year the Biscuits had their last Jam @ People's Houses were Anal Custard. Messy Beanbag and No Place Like Gnome originated (with the added backing vocals of the neighbour banging on the wall shouting "Fuck off you knobhead!").

So we looked into finding a place to jam and even though Gra was busy with wedding plans and Rich was finding a place to live, I said to Chris well we could just tighten the rhythm section if the other two can't make it. I don't like to exclude people and Chris was like well we need to try the place out first in case we don't like it. So off we went to Dagg Studios.

Chris invited a legendary fellow called Dan to play guitars for us that night.

And so Week One began! Which resulted in some very iffy recordings what with our noise output overblowing the mics. Still Bacon Pie, Combover and the other tracks we did amused us. The low-fi vibe gave us a very punk feel.




And there you have it, a rough guide to the history of The Crunchy Biscuits.
