Ever song a love song to your favourite garment? you know one of those made up laments about how much you love that comfortable, shapeless jumper that you should have cast out years ago, but you just can’t bring yourself to chuck, or those garish leggings you once wore when you were into hair rock all those many years ago? No? well maybe you don’t need that jumper or whatever quite as much as you think you do.
You see Biscuithead & The Biscuit Badgers know exactly how to tread their threads and in this case a tweed jacket, the singer serenades that jacket, knowing just how damn cool he looks and just how versatile that jacket is, not only does he croon his love for the jacket, he then asks his mates to play a combination of tuba, drums and twanging guitar in a 50’s style to create a swaying lament that really conveys his love .
By now you may have come to conclusion that Biscuithead and the boys may not be the most serious of artists, but I think you might be missing the point, you see jacket (or anything other garment for that matter) love is a serious subject and only a band like the Biscuit Badgers can really convey that message of love.
If you love your jacket, partial to a bit of 50’s music hall jazz and enjoy a good old croon I suggest like me you become a friend of the Biscuit Badgers and that enigmatic crooner and well attired young man Biscuithead and sing out about those tattered old white jeans hidden away in your wardrobe.
