About — The artist
Half Man Half Biscuit are an English rock band, formed in 1984 in Birkenhead, Merseyside. Known for their satirical, sardonic, and sometimes surreal songs, the band comprises lead singer and guitarist Nigel Blackwell, bassist and singer Neil Crossley, drummer Carl Henry, and guitarist Karl Benson.
The band parodies popular genres, while their lyrics allude to UK popular culture and geography. Within a long career, their best-known songs include "Dickie Davies' Eyes" & "The Trumpton Riots" (1986), "For What Is Chatteris" (2005), "Joy Division Oven Gloves" (2005), and "National Shite Day" (2008).
