Who Are We?

Yeah I Know It Sucks, but..
Who The Hell Are These People?
Alex Spalding
is obsessed with music, particularly percussion and rhythm. He is also a multi-instrumentalist spending a lot of time mastering and producing music.
He is also the operator behind the Noise-Joy net label that officially died in October of 2008. Currently a co-owner of X.O.S. Musick. Next to that he likes to listen to a lot of different music, which makes him the perfect quality reviewer for Yeah I Know It Sucks

KN
stands for Kai Nobuko who is also known as Toxic Chicken, Covolux and others.
Next to making experimental diary music with his craptop, he is fairly interested in music that not everyone seems to appreciate. Highly addicted to lobit music , he runs the lobit labels Top Of The Flops and floppy diskette based SPTOtfSP.
His obviously bad  taste in music is one of his key trademarks, making him a great reviewer for Yeah I Know It Sucks.

Johan Nederpel
The man with the great love for taped music, noise
and the beautifully strange experimental works!
Mostly known for his work as Caelicus Pugna and the to new to mention music projects. He is above all the King of the Blibs!
And dribbles in various mediums, is the creative director of the Europe office of SP records an a damn fine critic!

The Doll
The Doll a lover of toys, trash, junk, & vocals. She can be found inflicting improvisation on the No-Audience Overground: contact miking park benches, scraping plastic sporks on grills in subterranean art galleries, & playing noisy solos on toilet hand dryers. Above all, The Doll loves collaboration.

Wayne Rex
I hail from Dorset, UK and I’m a freelance drummer, playing solo stuff, session stuff and the other half of the duo EUH! Specialising in free jazz (though not that keen on that label) free improvisation, jazz, experimental, psychedelic, electronica etc.. the list goes on. As a beard enthusiast you will find me actively protesting outside local hipster headquarters to ban them from making my chosen facial wig, fashionable. Discovering new music has always been my greatest love. Even my son and whisky know that they have to take second and third place, respectively, in my life (Damn, accidently quoted the Beatles.. I don’t like the Beatles) so writing up my wee reviews for underground artist is an absolute pleasure!
