cassette...

Here you go.

I like it and it's funny as shit, but it doesn't get much real information about the band out there. Clearly you know that, and you were probably going for that, but as someone who might read your bio and listen to a track and consider going to see you; I don't feel like I have enough real information to actually look further into the band. Then again, if you guys have only been together for a few months, this may be better than a "real" bio. I don't know if that helps. Oh yeah, I also like the picture.

here is my take:

the band makes a "manifesto"

get a friend to do a band bio. a serious one. you can link to or attach your manifesto. i would call your page a really awesome manifesto. but as a band bio it no good, its too long, i have no idea if you music is good or not.

however, if you attached something written by your best rock writer friend, that very sincerely states stuff about what bands you sound like, and boring things like that, then attach the manifesto as a sort of actual band work product document... you can learn a lot about a band.

I have no idea what to make of it really, but i'm sure everybody has seen that picture before, so it might be worth changing that to something a little more obscure IMO.
