Bikini Test Failure // Fleecing The Easily Pleased

If the band name doesn’t have your eyebrows raised, then the music will certainly prick up your ears! With the sound’s of a chilled out version of The Charlatans, fronted by an even more chilled out version of Jon McClure of The Reverend & The Makers, along with an added sound or two from the likes of Joy Division, U2, Radiohead…and just to raise those eyebrows comically off your forehead and above your head, BTF isn’t just any old band…that’s right eyebrows of Norwich, BTF is actually a one-man-band-ego-maniac in the shape of Manchester’s James Hill. Producing, mixing, singing and playing all the tracks with his own mitts, as he lyrically takes us on one hell of a trip through love, death, sex, loss, joy, planet ruining over population, a brief consideration of Richard Feynman and geologic time. Finally taking stock and starting over again to find the joy and humour in despair while peering over the edge of the abyss only to come back smiling. With the realisation that, ‘Yes we all lose THE GAME in the end, and we all end up the same in the end’ reminding us that its, ‘certainly an interesting world, if you know where to look’. iTunes would be a good place to start if you’re ears are fully pricked that is and if you’re not convinced, “There is no harm in doubt and scepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.”
