I'm currently jamming to the Biscuits' "Trumpton Riots" 12-inch. Grade Z UK personalities meets punk and it all gets mixed up in a stew that pleased the nostrils of John Peel.
So what say you, SYGers, yay or nay to the Biscuits?

I don't know about genius but they're a sight better than The Fall these days, if you ask me.
Do they officially qualify as an institution yet? |

Well, they've been slogging away for the best part of 25 years, so they probably do, in a way. There was recently an internet campaign to get their "Joy Division Oven Gloves" tune into the Top 40 (which worked, as it happens), and they seem to be a band that, although not popular, have been namechecked a fiar few times over the years.

They're a parody on the UK indie music scene.

Nice stating of the blindingly obvious there.
HMHB are great. I don't usually like 'funny' bands, but, well, they're great. This destroyed me when I heard it on Peel.
