The Seal Cub Clubbing Club

The Seal Cub Clubbing Club are a five-piece post-punk band from The Wirral, England. With their lyrics covering wildly different subjects, Thom Yorke like mutterings, repetitive instrumental hooks and unconventionaly catchy choruses and melodys, their music is unlike other Merseyside bands The Coral and The Zutons. They are often compared to the likes of The Fall and Radiohead. As friends of friends at school in The Wirral, The Seal Cub Clubbing Club started off playing Prog-Reggae, a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club cover and just 'jamming' in 2003.

M.O.T.O.

MOTO stands for Masters Of The Obvious. Pretty much it's Paul and whoever is playing with him at the time. Some people think Paul's lyrics are too dirty but most people think they are funny. MOTO write songs that are catchy. That's all that really matters. It all got started in the early 80's in New Orleans. But then Paul moved somewhere else. MOTO have released dozens of albums, some cassette only, some CDs, some are little vinyl discs like this one. You've probably never heard of MOTO. It's a good thing that now you know.
