52 PICK-UP

About Me

In the winter of 1998, sick and tired of the ever-so-safe music that was taking over the scene, four alcohol soaked, hate filled, low-down sons-of-bitches got together with the intent of dragging guitar based music kicking and screaming. They formed 52 Pick-Up.
With an unhealthy interest in horror movies, violence, serial killers, drag racing and freak shows, and influenced by psychobilly, surf music, punk rock and garage trash, they created their own style of punk rock.
They give everything they've got. All cylinders firing and pedal to the metal, creating a force that makes each show an event.
8 years of gigs with bands like The Damned, The Hangmen, The Un-Dead, Agent Orange, The Hyperjax, Electric Frankenstein, Vice Squad and load of others. 4 bass-players, 4 guitarists, 4 failed trips to the Betty Ford Clinic, 2 jail sentences and one psychotic self-released 15 track CD - 'Sentenced to Life on Earth' later - We found the right level of existence 52 Pick-Up still fucking hate you.

ROCKIN' LIKE 52 PICK-UP IS AS EASY AS 1,2,3,4!!STEP ONE!! GETTING IN THE GROOVE!!
Listen to records, steal their groove, stick yer head in a voodoo drum, put your tongue on an electric guitar, put your face into the darkest side of life, listen to rockabilly, let Charlie Feathers possess your soul, make like Ed Gein and dig.
DO ANYTHING TO GET INTO THE GROOVE!!
STEP TWO!! GET DIRTY AND UGLY!!
This is crucial. Mess up your face so even your mom won't recognise you, get in fights, get bottles smashed over your head, get your face smashed in, abuse the police, walk around Memphis screaming you HATE ELVIS!!
STEP THREE!! GET A BAND TOGETHER!!
Find some deviants with the same morals as you, BECOME A MACHO MAN, give yourself a cool name like Pig Fucker or Hippy Killer, write songs about any sick shit that's in your head, make some posters and flyers, put lots of love into them, create future collectors items, hand made, band made. When you're doing well, start a side-project.
STEP FOUR!! ROCK YOU FUCKING WIMPS!!
It's very important to MAKE SURE YOU ROCK. Go nuts, sweat, turn, jump, dress-up, break a leg if you need to be wilder, piss, puke, bleed, get naked, kill your fans if need be. Raise hell and come up with new stuff every day of your fucking life!!
BY NOW YOU ARE A TOTAL PSYCHOPATH. EITHER YOU HAVE BECOME A MAD MAN, OR EVERYONE JUST THINKS YOU ARE AND NOBODY WANTS TO TALK TO YOU, OR EVERYONE HATES YOU BUT THEY ALL WANT TO SEE YOU ROCK!!!
