Hoovers & Sledgehammers
Ask Me Nicely
Hilarious home- made
Irish rock with production
values so low none of you
unhardened civilians should
even risk exposing yourselves
to it. After listening to about
150 nondescript indie albums
in a row however, this truly
is the stuff that keeps me
alive. The four page track by-
track commentary that
comes with Ask Me Nicely
is helpful: “I’ll Fucken Stab
Ye You Cunt"is a very vicious
song the lyrics are aggressive
with the narrator having
no hope no future and no
feelings towards anyone
not even his mother who he
also stabbed.” The lyrics are
equally unorthodox: Potatoes,
carrots you could grow in me
ears / But if I was naked, ah
Jesus, I’d have you in tears!
In conclusion Hoovers &
Sledgehammers, your album
is really, really terrible – keep
up the good work please!
