Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
It all started on a cold and misty saturday afternoon, in the winter, in 2001, on earth, in the solar system. jacob neuman was sitting on his fathers porch and suddenly arthur harkins and his dad and his step mom came in a tank and started beating the shit out of jacob. then they remembered he wasnt a spy and arthur decided to stay at jacobs dads and eat all of their food and steal their money. then jacob did a karate move on arthur and flew through the kitchen, down the stairs, around the corner, and landed ona drumset. and then jacob ran and tripped over a cat and flew down the stairs and landed on a bass guitar, breaking all of his bones. then he got healed my jesus and the boys got mad at the instruments and started beating them and screaming at them, thus recording their first album. then they forgot about everything and didnt care about the band for like 2 years. then they decided to go back up to jacobs dads and start the band over. at this point, 2 years had passed, and the boys had aquired some musical talent. Arthur could play one scale on guitar half decent, and jacob could play 2 eminem songs on drums (mind you, they arent all that hard). then arthur said 'lets play ska instead of blues' and they started the band Cradle of Filth. later they found out that name was taken, so they changed it to the band name they had chosen for themselves 2 years before, The Bollocks. so now theyre in this 2 peice ska/punk/stupid band who sucks and is stupid. were gunna play some shows so come down and skank and walk the plank, the ska plank that is. The Bollocks ride into the sunset, as one of historys most acclaimed and loved bands.
