 "They should be filling up larger venues up and down the country with their melodic, spiralling alt-rock, and breaking hearts with their beautiful tales of love and anguish..." - Drowned In Sound Rock has been ever evolving for years now; from the hazy, crazy days of the "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" of the 70s, to the tight-panted, big hair stadium rock of the 80s to early 90s grunge, then Britpop and now. So what is rock now? Very simple. Formulaic. It's bands with no heart and soul. Afraid to experiment and lay their hearts on their blooded sleeves. But it should be about taking the rough with the smooth and eventually making it beautiful, breath taking and bloody god damn exciting all at the same time. And if that sounds intriguing, well, that's just half of what Sucioperro are about. Now picture this: a gorgeous little town on the West Coast of Scotland. It's got a beach, lovely parks, cheerful tourist attractions and Scotland's best-loved poet Robert Burns. This place is Ayrshire. It's not exactly the setting for chunky riffs, beers, gigs and laughs but this little seaside town has been quietly making progress on the music front. This is where Sucioperro met, this is where they make music and for a while now Ayrshire's held it's own and seems to be producing much music finery as of late. "It's difficult (making music in Ayr) but there's a good scene, bands dig what we're doing and are really supportive." - Dragon
"It's Spanish for dirty dog and in certain dialects dirty bitch. We really wanted something original that would make people say what and ask again." - Dragon So that's the where's and when's out the way, what have the boys done so far? Lots actually! They don't beat about the bush. They released their debut EP 'Why Bliss Destroy' in October 2002. Only 200 copies where pressed and they sold out in no time at all. The EP also featured Simon Neil (also an Ayrshire lad) of Biffy Clyro doing vocals on 3 tracks. Their latest rock offering is the brilliantly titled 'The Hidden Perils of Dancing' EP released on Adorno Records in October 2004 and due to sell out its limited run of 1000 copies very shortly. The band's debut album, 'Random Acts Of Intimacy' is due for release in 2006. Speaking of the aforementioned Biffy Clyro, they're not only good friends of theirs but they have toured together as well. Jetplane Landing, Hell Is For Heroes, Aereogramme, Fightstar, Deacon Blue, and The Delgados have all played with the Sucio boys. "We'll play with anyone in the quest to reach more and more people and get our stuff heard although we firmly believe we have a wide appeal and don't just want to slot in the alt rock/emo category" - Dragon Yes, they are indeed rock but they go beyond this as a band. They've cited their influences as Rage Against The Machine, Crowded House, Pearl Jam, Tool, Jimmy Eat World, Talking Heads, The Police, Prince and "anything vibed/energetic/real". This mix of musical influences all comes out in their live show, which is something that you simply cannot miss. It's heavy, kids sweat, people sing, bodies sway but there's something else as well underneath their "muscular, riff based instrumental rock" as Dragon describes. Their lyrics breathe emotion, their riffs are "muscular" but they're songs are teaming with melody and beauty. It's not only just their show that you immediately get excited about but it's the feeling that Sucioperro are one of those bands who kick life into rock and inject it with some passion and originality. This all sounds very serious though. Yes, their music is serious but live, and up close and personal these boys are loveable, fun loving and game for anything that comes their way. They are no strangers to a Gamecube or a Playstation and Mike seems to be a dab hand at Super Monkey Ball. Their tour diary consists of "tour haircuts" (with nail scissors!), parties, drunken after show chats between themselves and their fans and most importantly practical jokes on the first to fall asleep. And things are looking up and up for the boys from Ayrshire. They play a mean live show, are gaining more and more fans, have begun to tour England and are playing London more regularly as well as Scotland and are growing all the time. There's no telling where Sucioperro will go next but when you listen to them on record and see them live you know you're in for one hell of a ride. They're a band ready and willing to explode and when they do, you better be at the front row singing and screaming your heart out with them.
