The Sneaking Suspicions

About Me

Whoever told you that the Sneaking Suspicions were the kind of band youd want to check out was lying through their rotting teeth. No good can come from listening to the paranoid, insecure babblings of four social deviants and their out of tune instruments. Formed in september of 2005 by Steve French(a soulless man raised in the wild by a pack of marauding poodles),Ivan Inkling(a refugee of a forgotten siberian gulag) and Crying Shane(the bastard son of Omar Sharif) their neurotic grooves, self gratifying riffs and condemning odes, although adequate,ultimately seemed to be lacking one vital element.Over the next six months several lesser beings trembled at the wrath of our ruthless creative control as they attempted to complete the classic quartet formation. Depressed with thoughts of being doomed to a life as the proverbial "quarter short of an ounce" we decided to drown our sorrows in one of Brays sticky carpeted drinking emporiums. As we passed the house of a mysterious fabled troublemaker we could hear the booze charged twangings and infuriated snarlings of a kindred spirit. Cautiously knocking at his door we were soon confronted with the sight of a dishevelled looking army veteran who introduced himself as one Colonel Knowledge. After much explanation and attempts to quell his enraged outbursts we finally persuaded him to join us for an obligation free practise session back in our humble studio. Lucky for us the prospect of all the cheap beer he could drink was more than enough persuasion for the good Colonel and within days we were recording demos and playing gigs with the goal of humiliating and subjogating our collective wrong-doers. So to continue on from where i started if you were foolish enough to log on to this poor excuse for a web-site then you deserve everything you get and let me just say this-YOUR ONLY PARANOID IF PEOPLE ARENT OUT TO GET YOU!
