This blog is now used as a development area for the Judge's own blog, located at http://judgehead.blogspot.com/Neil J Mnoreply@blogger.comBlogger151100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14806416.post-42484193469563528722008-02-11T11:35:00.000Z2008-02-11T12:43:49.591Z

I had something of an epiphany late last night about my drinking habits, but in the spirit (no pun intended) of being a total screwup, I've completely forgotten what it was. I'll try and remember in the course of this blog post, so apologies if this one is a bit of a rambling rant. I do recall that it involved a couple of hot chicks, so I might as well start there and see if I can thrash it out..

Due to circumstances we frankly can't be bothered to fix at the moment, 'We Are Ninjas' is currently unavailable for download. We'll be rectifying the situation in due course.Judge Head has been holed up in studio again recently, looking for 'sounds' surrounded by a 'monstrous' collection of wires, synths, keyboards and effects units. We now have the foundations and killer fucking grooves for

In a recent interview with Metal Hammer magazine, angst-ridden Nine Inch Nails lynchpin Trent Reznor stated that 'alcohol and drugs are not conducive to making good music'. I defy the floppy-haired genius to stand by his statement after he has heard the killer opening cut from Suck My Balls Til They Bleed - 'We Are Ninjas'!Click here to download 'We Are Ninjas'Click here for lyricsSEXUAL FUCKING

FBTR, being the waster fucks they are, largely squandered their studio time this weekend by being almost completely incapacitated by alcohol and weed. They did, however, manage to record 'We Are Ninjas', the killer opening cut from the Suck My Balls Til They Bleed EP. This is currently being mixed and mastered, and will appear soon.The band have vowed to record the rest of the material they had

Fucking By The fucking Roadside are going into studio tomorrow to record the Suck My Balls Til They Bleed EP. Fwank, John Paul Barnes II and Judge Head will be joined by M.It and probably a load of associated whores and hangers-on for a weekend of drink, drugs, and maybe some music as well.Once we're done with recording, we'll be doing the mixing and mastering, and releasing MP3s onto an

Last night, after M.It and The Khemisist had popped out to see a (no doubt wholly inferior) other band, John Paul Barnes II and I cranked up the amps and riffed out for a few hours. We came up with some killer hooks for 'Who Is Driving Car', 'We Are Ninjas' and 'Vulva', and wrote them down neatly in a little book of tab paper for later reference. Aww.For a realtive newcomer to the guitar, JPBII

Fwank (previously known as Darren), John Paul Barnes II, M.It and my good self held an alcohol-fuelled meeting last Sunday and thrashed out a few ideas whilst watching the football. Fwank had the awesome idea of covering 'I Touch Myself' by The Divinyls, which I think would sound great when bastardized in the NIN/Slipknot vein, all searing feedback and obsessed rasping. We also came up with '

I've just sampled some of John Paul Barnes II's lyrics for a new song, entitled 'Who Is Driving Car'? It's quite an unsettling piece, with ambiguous lyrics and sketches. It's not even a 'proper' FBTR song, in that it doesn't involve explicit violence, hardcore sex or martial arts. But it's great. I have written a similarly 'proper' song, entitled 'Antibiotic', which will be a worthy showcase

I've just written 'Vulva: A Cautionary Tale'. It's a uber-violent sickfest in which our protagonist gets jiggy with a young redhead, only to find out she has a demon Hellmouth where her genitals should be, so he beats her to death with a table lamp. I'm thinking it would sound good as a piano ballad.Judge Head

As you have probably already noticed, we have a nice new look for our blog. It's still a work in progress, and you should see some extra whistles and bells being added over the next few weeks. Oh yeah, and the rest of the site too...I'm off to write a factually-based number about how cool it is to be a ninja, entitled 'We Are Ninjas'.Judge Head

I wrote 'Slippery Snake' in one sitting yesterday. It tells a sordid first-person tale of a young man whose parents' ignorance towards his recreational pastimes inevitably leads him on a trail of stealth-orientated killing for fun. I also managed to take a swipe at hysterical right-wing reactionary organ The Daily Mail, which means the song rocks by default.On the bus this morning, meanwhile, I

John Paul Barnes II has been working on some lyrics for a new song, entitled 'Butter Her Brown'. I've just read over the first verse and it's genius. Spinal Tap never had anything on us in the metaphor stakes, although the extra verses I added in a flash of inspiration are verging on pornographic. Never mind, when he reads them he can let us all know what he thinks.I've got a full lyric sheet for

I've been downloading a load of cool photos and images from Google all day, which I am about to chop up, twist, bastardize, distort and generally fuck with in my quest to create a decent look for the FBTR site. Keywords typed in included 'ninjas', 'anarchy', 'police brutality', 'belfast city', 'wepaonry' and 'ninjas', amongst many others...Watch this space (or one like it) to see the results

My associate and I were sitting last night in the usual position, playing Manhunt, watching T2, drinking beer and smoking blow, when we came up with our band names. I, Skippy, will be known as Judge Head. McGrathy will hereafter answer to John Paul Barnes.We still need to think of a name for that bald fuck Daz, who is the third 'official' member of FBTR. We'll also need to have suitable

Welcome to the official weblog of everyone's soon-to-be-favourite Sexual Ninjas, Fucking By The Roadside.FBTR are a three-piece outfit - a PR expert, a nurse, and a graphic designer - who thought it would be a jolly wheeze to dress up in masks, write songs about deviant sex, bodily fluids and physical violence, then record them. The fact that none of them are particularly expert at songwriting,
