Editor's review

The project of two self-described "student layabouts" in Manchester, England, Razyroo is the sort of gloriously deranged experimental rock that comes from overactive imaginations in serious need of productive activity. But what probably concerns their parents benefits us. It's an engaging mix of spoken word samples, rock riffs, and pure electronic noise.

Biography

No longer student lay abouts, but now a full time lay abouts and an oil rig worker, Razyroo return as a trio adding a skilled casio keyboardist to the team. This new addition balances out the music and makes it a lot less strange. Only joking, it's stranger than ever. One day they decided that they should make some music. In an attempt to make things interesting, Roo decided that free formed music was the way to go. Infact, Razyroo takes the idea of free formed art to another level. Totally denouncing standard musical structures, scales, sometimes even instruments in favour of more random alternatives, gives Razyroo an 'aquired' sound. Free forming sections of music that sometimes defy all known musical theory and tend to skit along and adventurously drift timings radically mid-song, or sometimes even mid-riff. Unthinkable things are used to provide backings, and sometimes percusion (trash and army helmets are used in more than a few songs as the percussion section, lovely). Androo plays the bass section, Crazy Tom provides the guitar section, and both muddle in to provide the backdrops of shouting, strange off the wall "skash" beat boxing and crooning. Razyroo also take the time to spoof some of their favourite songs, such as a strange 'Haunted by a Freak'/'Sine Wave' Mogwai blend/cover/spoof. The subtleties in the song structures can be heard on multiple listens, and it is our hope that the listeners can feed off the unpredictability, and strange humour our music provides. Their first ep, "the brown stain on the window pane" was released in 2005. Their second ep, "the red stain down the plug hole drain" was released in 2007.
