Ok, so you know WHAT about music?

So, yeah, TEPODD, we have a member called Arran. He's a nice kid, good on guitar. He has one problem. He needs to rebel. His parents are arseholes who don't know anything.

They have said we "need to get big in Blackpool before we play in Manchester" and wouldn't let Arran play a Manchester gig (which was shit anyway apparently) but we have to get big in a town without a music scene, let alone, a ska scene, before we play towns with a thriving music, and ska scene!!

They buy Arran an amp which is suitable for playing live with, and won't let him take it out to use during gigs. They even did the same with his guitar until three months into his life in the band.

What they know about music they could write on the back of a fucking postage stamp.

It's because of them, that Arran is being replaced on his current position and moved onto keyboards, because if he can't do a gig, it's easier to go without keyboard than without the second guitar.

It's like they want to hold us back, because their son is in the band, they feel they have some control over us.

TEPODD is it's own fucking master, and TEPODD do as TEPODD want, not because you're pushy parents who just don't understand what music is about.

What are you going to do when we do a tour next year eh? We'll just take your son, and make him rebel against you, he's 18 next year, let the poor lad live!
