About Me

BEAR WITNESS TO THE FETID ROTTING CORPSE OF PHOTO! PHOTO were a primal three piece making sexy rock music for all you beautiful, beautiful people. We chased the pop paradox - how to combine the Stooges' sleazy lust for noise with the pop sensibilities of a chart-bound Blondie; how to tap into the power of US stoner rock whilst retaining the arch Englishness of XTC. Put on your most severe eyeliner; take care to frame your hair and get set for maximum exposure... Like what you hear? Want more? Tough shit, it's too late. You should have come to see us live, or at least undead; we were a force to be reckoned with. As it stands you should keep a wary eye out for PHOTO offshoots rising from the grave and upsetting music lovers everywhere.
"[They] trade in first-class rock and roll with a sizeable dollop of horror mixed in for good measure... and then they're gone into the dark night to party with the undead. But only if the undead have the fashion sense of The Strokes, and bring their own beer..."
- NIGHTSHIFT magazine Oxford (Sam Shepherd)
"It's the kind of thing that makes sexy people move around the dancefloor like robots of destruction... If these guys are half as good live as they are undead, then I hope, for the sake of a nation's ears, that a host of A&R representatives are banging down their door to rescue them from the flesh-eating zombies that are obviously causing them so much trouble."
