Cleckhuddersfax are part of a group of vaguely London-based outfits like Spin Spin The Dogs, Man Aubergine, and Poltergroom. They have all somehow ended up sounding weird and intensely fun without that ever really being the intention. In their own heads they probably think they just sound like a more pop version of Devo. Which they sort of do. If Devo were covering the Blackadder theme tune with a bag full of MDMA strapped to their foreheads, leaking into their eyeballs. We suppose it's worth mentioning that the band's singer Lawrence Abu-Hamden has a tendency to wear a pretty revealing all-in-one Speedo affair onstage, which is more than a little revealing.
