Who?
Cuddly Shark is a do-it-yourself, plug in and play Rock McCombo. Idiosyncratic lyricism and odd anti-melodies combined with foot down pedal-to-the-metal performances.
Forming in early 2006 the band consists of two boys and one girl, Callin' Colin on guitar and vocals, Jables Sexual on drums and Hoofbert on bass guitar. Born and bred in the bonnie highlands of Scotland the band found themselves magnetically drawn to the rain-soaked musical hotspot that is Glasgow to hone their sound. Things seemed to twitter along very quickly and Cuddly Shark found themselves with a bunch of songs with winning names like ‘The Punisher of IV30’, referring to the Elgin post-code where the band members grew up and if pushed could tell you a horror story or two!
Cuddly Shark will never have an ounce of pretentious hip fat on them and their live shows have seen favourable comparisons made to Husker Du, Minor Threat, Ween, Fugazi and The Presidents of the USA.
Rock solid with the minimum of fuss, the songs stem from an anarchic and free spirited unique romanticism. Whether an ode to the inability to resist the gratification of one’s own self indulgent whims and desires as summed up in 'Jamie Foxx on Later With Jools Holland' or the crunching riffage of '12 Months', where a mans desparate need to be sexually pleasured has never sounded so brutally demonic.
