From the itchy trigger finger department: We get a significant amount of e-mail daily from bands seeking publicity. It’s flattering, but it’s grown to the point that I reply to each with a request for a press kit and promo. Today, I made the mistake of deleting the information that was sent from London’s tapetheradio before listening. This lot is good, folks! The bio is all dick if the music isn’t listenable, right?
Here’s the only bit of info I could find about the band (from their Myspace page): we live in our studio on a farmyard next to a creek in deptford. pete the dwarf fixes the ttr wheels and ken the mechanic listens to us through the walls and tells us what’s good and bad. we have put all our trust in them. we are tapetheradio.

Agreed, as bloggers we get sent so much crap. I was surprised recently by an email though, check out Fig Leaves…good music and nice guys.
