After the nurtured gems that were the creation of insects I, II, III & IV tapes, it was time to take the next step, reach a new level, those oh so dizzy heights of fame. Well maybe not just yet, but as bold, brave, daring and stupid as it ever could be, we finally found a purpose. Thus ‘the creation of insects’ was crystallised with name set in the proverbial slate of anti-pop sub-culture. Quite simply we moved from Rob’s bedroom into my garage.

Ok then, what is it? What are we about? What’s our hook? Are we the good guys (Emu vs. Shredder : Emu wins) or the baddies? (Sooty vs. Mumm-Ra : Mumm-Ra wins) The simple answers to those burning questions are everything, nothing, pretty much anything. Essentially the creation of insects is about expression, freedom of thought outside the confines of label orientated propaganda. A statement against the weekly chart pop tripe that infects our radios and TVs, an answer to the tedium of modern rock and nu-wave so-called alternative merchants, and an offshoot of uncharted experimental tendencies.

(Hey, does anyone actually remember when Capital [punishment] Radio used to only play bands that had formed or written songs on their own, or when Radio dumb were about the music rather than the status? Answers on a postcard please, oh and if you have a blue peter badge then send that too). Existing simultaneously as a forum for new ideas and a testing ground for pushing those ideas further than humanity would allow; we are what we want to be. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laugh in the face of criticism for it is just the closed mind showing its boundary of weakness.
