about
The BOBS (The Best of British Suicide) are progressive grunge, alt-rock and post-punk as delivered by crass English eccentrics - no riff too big, no target too small. They combine the energy of Nirvana, the sarcasm of the Fall, the detail of the Cardiacs – no riff too big, no target too small. The members are Simon Burgess (vox/guitar), Tom Kips Golden (bass/vox), Louis Lanfear (drums). User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
