I'll turn your cunt to mincemeat in the woods

About Me

Pete and Dave Wingrove met Seamus Rathband (at the time working with The Uncontrollable Thrusts) in a pub in Croydon in late 2005. They then realised they all had similar musical interests and a band began to form under the name of 'HK-47'. After bringing in Thom Brock they changed their name to 'Misery Wank'. Realising that Thom Brock would spend the most of the next few years in university they enrolled Matt Morrissey to play bass guitar. And soon after, realising they would need a drummer, added Alex Bate to the line-up. When Alex Bate left, Jamie Field enrolled. Happy wanking.I got my myspace layout from Gazzump.com
