What has eight thumbs, four Hawaiian
shirts, and ZERO records sales?
Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, BSD
recorded one album for Them's Good Records, only to have the plug pulled,
following its commercial anonymity.
To blame the document itself for this would
be reductive; despite being hobbled by confusingly choppy production, Teasing
The Fat Kids boasts some sturdy singalongs, possibly best appreciated by fans
of The Undertones, Buzzcocks, and Ramones.
Nonetheless, the band's gritty touring
efforts (“We even played HULL, for fuck's sake! On a school night!”), coupled
with numerous endorsements from legendary DJ John Peel proved insufficient to
overcome industry bullshit, and nonexistent distribution.
It's not all heartache and hardship,
though; thanks to Aston Stephens' fine Boss Tuneage label, the boys have found
a home for their saggy semi-retired asses, and there may even be a new album in
the not too distant future.
Watch this space!
