f*ckshovel - "Portia's Box" Official Music Video

Artist city, country: London, England, UK

Artist Biography: Described by Barfly magazine as the 'Best unsigned band in the UK' and melding their sound from a collective background that includes stints with Cradle of Filth, Decimator, Basement Jaxx, Plan B and remnants of Phil Lynott's Grand Slam, The Shovel set out to prove that you could get played on the radio with a name like that.

First single 'Long Time Dead' gained critical acclaim in the UK and received airplay on the BBC Radio 6 Rock Show hosted by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson and also XFM's John Kennedy show. The accompanying video was play-listed by MTV's Headbangers Ball and was included in their Best Of Year show.

After a string of support shows with the likes of f*cked Up, Jaguar Love and Innerpartysystem they were invited to showcase at SXSW. Pitchfork anointed them 'Best band name of SXSW' while local DJ Nigel Laskowski from local station and SXSW sponsor picked them as a 'must see' and later described their show as 'killer'. On returning to the UK further shows included support slots to LA punk legends The Germs and the Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock.

The debut album 'This Is What We Are' (featuring cover art by Jamie Reid of Never Mind The Bollocks fame) was recorded in the legendary Assault & Battery 2 studios with producer Rohan Onraet and released in February 2013; gaining great reviews from Classic Rock, Big Cheese and Terrorizer amongst others.

'Germs of Empire' and 'Auslander' have recently been included on cover-mount CDs for Terrorizer and Metal Hammer respectively while both tracks have also been featured on Ian Camfields XFm Rock Show. Other tracks from the album have also been play-listed by Bloodstock Radio and XFm's John Kennedy.

The band have just released the video for next single 'Portia's Box' and are rehearsing for their next batch of European dates in early 2014. They will be gigging throughout the rest of the year readiness for the main stage at Alt-Fest.

Song Lyrics: You self appointed priests of prohibition preach
To save me from myself
Force feed me abstinence when too much is not enough
D'you wanna check my pulse cos I'm still breathing

You want to slow my speed and keep me acid free
I'm only moderate in moderation
I'll self-medicate, fuel my appetite
While you let loose the shock troops of pneumania

I am a product of belligerent design
Don't need your suffocating surrogating nanny state of mind

You don't get to choose what I decide
I'll buy the ticket, take the ride
I know the risk of suicide, usually somebody dies
Everybody's got to die of something

Stop telling me to stop, stop telling me I'm lost
Stop telling the price I'll pay for my holocaust
I'll die of too much life, I need a little fix
The banquet of my vanities is my apocalypse

I am a product of belligerent design
Don't need your suffocating surrogating nanny state of mind

You don't get to choose what I decide
I'll buy the ticket, take the ride
I know the risk of suicide, usually somebody dies
Everybody's got to die of something

When I want your opinion then I'll know I've lost my mind
I wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire

What part of f*ck off don't you understand?
