About Mr. Biscuits
Fuck the Dunedin Sound. “Bikini Kill on meth” is what you’d call Mr. Biscuits if condescending bullshit was your bag – instead, it’s not, and Mr. Biscuits will be the only bag you’ll need for a while. For as many needless (though apt) comparisons you can make, there are just as many ways that these four Otago locals have proven themselves as a fixture in the back of Dunedin’s mind. As far as any reason to believe ‘the hype’ goes, a band that won OUSA Battle of the Bands nearly as soon as they initialised don’t need to talk themselves up. That’s what a two-week #1 position on the Radio One charts is for. For personal references, please see: Die! Die! Die!, Street Chant, Grayson Gilmour and plenty of other big-name touring acts who picked out Mr. Biscuits as their support. Similar successes would inevitably meld such unsullied folk into the predictable glop of ‘up-and-coming’, if all took place anywhere else. But humble Dunedin doesn’t need another another ‘legacy’ to foster. It needs - sorry, wants - the Ley-Hamilton siblings to screech and tear through the floors of murky South Island basements where Sam Valentine and Adrian Ng persistently pound the shit out of their instruments to drive the point home. Whatever the point actually is. For reference to the Dunedin Sound: see above. Their debut is available for free download below: http://mrbiscuitsmrbiscuits.bandcamp.com/
