Artist History Once upon a time, there were four guys from Houston, TX with nothing in common execpt beer and music. When they finally got together, they realized their common character flaws; they were all fat, drunk, and stupid and they immediately bonded. They began a crusade to unite other fat, drunk and stupid people and they formed a punk band called Bickley. They still can't remember where the name came from, but their goal remains the same; to live in harmony with others like them. The quest for their kind will be on going. The first entry to the masses is "Pogo Au Go-Go" which they released on Paper Doll Records on their own. They also have the leading track on the Fearless Comp Punk Bites 2, "Calling All Punks", which is sure to introduce the band to thousands of people across the country. They're proud of their music even if their parents have written them off. So if you're fat, drunk and stupid - or not - this is your band!

Press Reviews December 1999 Flipside Magazine: Sniveling, snot-nosed, badass, bratty punk about boobies. beer, poonanny, and punk rock rejects! Bickley fiercely flail with all-out, faster-than-fuck auditory insolence... Their slice and dice sonic emotings shred with a frazzled frenzy like sticking your head into the rapidly whirling confines of an industrial sized blender... Stretching, tearing and ripping your flesh like an elastic taffy at a backwoods country carnival. Holyshitdamnfuck, and indeed - this plastic platter of punk ferocity is a Ramones/Nobodys nuclear storm of explosive fury which should effectively annihilate the rumbling eardrums of a whole generation of tormented and twisted, apathetic youth. Flipside/ROG
