The $tory Of A.H.B.$:
.............Once upon a time, in the far distant shit-hole of a town 'Macclesfield' lived four dreams. Dreams which one day may come true, dreams which may not. But one things for sure, the four people who posessed these very thoughts were determined in their heads, their hearts, and their excess scrots dangling from their saturday-night boxers to achieve a somewhat musical enlightenment for the punk-rock people of the world. Matthew Ross, James Bowers, Benjamin Parks and Michael 'G' Henckert present to you the future of what creative punk rock awaits....
Still to this very day, these four young ambitous men attend the 'amazing' tytherington high school in their G.C.S.E Year. But where did this journey really start?
We now trek back to the early stages of 2005, where it all began. Throughout this year, the band changed many a time there line up to get the best sound they possibly could, but it wasn't until the suggestion of Matt Ross to go as lead vocals, Ben Parks on Lead Guitar, James Bowers on bass and Michael Henckert on the round, banging thing$, that things started to take shape.
It is, in some ways fair to say that the only gigs they did were 'M.Y.B's' in their local crackpot of a hometown, which gained them valuable experience for the future. It is also fair to say, that MYB is kind of a joke, and that the only good it did for anyone was a damn good piss up from confiscated booze for the local pigs.
Eventually throughout the year, it came to their attention, that surely they were ready for the next level. Using their creative minds, and commited hard work the quadrio produced four or five tracks of their own material such as the well known ''First Come First Serve'' ''Dark in Here'' and ''Watch Your Step'' These were the basis throught 05/06 for the gigs obtained, and as such, progressed to pub gigs, parties, and even Manny C's own Academy 3, where such bands as Oasis, Radiohead and Orson became introduced into the world of fame. Academy three made many people aware that these four guys are rather better than the average first impression. It wasn't until they managed to urge a 40 year old drunk man to mosh to 'Fuck it Up' and crowd surf for several minutes that the message was clear, that things were starting to look up.
Since the success of Academy 3, A.H.B.$ have managed to accomplish gigging at venues such as Satan's Hollow, which although was rather dissapointing due to the lack of organising, was still a rather good experience to add to the checklist.
Due to the 210 pound earning from Academy, (and after Ben and Matt's 20 minute money fight in boxers) it was clear to the four gentlemen that some well deserved recording material was in order, and as a result outcame ''Watch Your Step, Dark in Here, First Come First Serve'' and even the legendary ''This new whisper''. But it was clear that the quality of 'The Cutting Rooms'' in manchester, didnt live up to the required standards that A.H.B.$ were looking for. With The help of the amazing Ben Bannister at Hi-Toy Studios, they have now completely finished a four-track E.P entitled ''Your Gun To My Head'' which is certain to set standards containing songs such as ''Down, Down, Down'' ''Going For Broke'' ''Please drive carefully tonight'' and a new, synth version of ''What You've Become''as this really highlights the obvious potential that lies between the Punk-Rock Jedi's.
But the reall beauty of this story, is that it hasn't actually ended, and hopefully it never shall, as the four continue to write, play, and just have a damn right fucking good teenage childhood, there is yet much to come from these four, beautiful fuck-ups as human beings. Yes, they may be a disgrace to all of humanity, they may use rizzlers for toilet paper, and they may just all have the general knowledge of a circus flea from Donny Tourette's pubic hair, but they still write fucking good quality punk-rock and offer you shows you wont forget for so long that your a grandparent.
This....is A Hollywood Bedtime $tory, as you've never seen them before!!!
