Biography : Handicap Handjob

Handicap Handjob formed by Sam. One day, he just decided he was going to record some of NoiseCore demo, named it "Shit Demo" and the artwork's picture of his dog's turd. He showed this demo CDr to his friend Kevin, who wanted to join, and then they recorded their second demo CDr "Lion Dick". Both demos put together were under 3 minutes. They wanted something a bit longer, so they recorded "Death Meatle" and was 7 minutes. The sound quality of all these were ultra shitty, and the only instruments were acoustic guitars and a washing machine. Finally, they recorded their last demo with this style "Candyland up your Ass" for one copy (which went to Andy from California).

Got bored of making this shitty noise, especially after finding out about tons of better bands, they decided to got a new style, short 1 second songs with a distorted guitar, a loud yelling howl and a couch for drums. They recorded a 5 minute demo tape of this and released it on a split tape with a side project of ours "Alcoholic Holocaust". The band Anxiety Hangover really liked this tape and wanted to do a split with them... but this split never happened (the traxx for that split has just float around somewhere on HCxHJx's computer).

They got a better recorder and started recording "cassette-ep's" with each tape having one side shorter then 6 minutes. Delay was their first cassette EP, and it had 412 songs altogether. HCxHJx recorded their first full length "Genital Warts" which was 27 minutes and was the first recording to use a microphone (however this recording had clean vocals, with echo and reverb). Getting excited to record this shit, they recorded another cassette-ep named "All Black People Have AIDS". This EP had distorted vocals and had much more songs. Having a lot of fun with this recording, the next day, they recorded a short EP named "John McGlaughlin is Rockin" that was single sided, then recorded "Gonorrhea Black Metal" and this was a kick ass EP (and probably their best old material).

Then after about a month of doing absolutely nothing, Handicap Handjob decided to record again. This next demo "Rectal Wink" was named after a Meat Shits track on their Bowel Rot demo tape. This was the first demo using a drum machine and is probably the first in their modern catalog. They gained contact with lots of other bands, specifically Deep Fried Embryo.

Then came a split CDr w/ Colico (this was probably our best split of all time) ! They got another split request with a band "Screaming With Feces In Your Mouth". This recording was nothing but us playing piano with ZZ Top blaring on the stereo. They were asked to do another split with "Hemorrhoidal Anal Suffering", the legendary brazilian band. All these bands happened to be some of their favorite noise bands (except for SWFIYM), and Sam was excited to do them. Somewhere in between this period, they recorded HCxHJx's second full length "Please Pardon My Hardon" which had no drums or drum machine, but it was still brutal.

"Then came a new period of noise. We were blessed with... a drum set. And this changed our style forever. We recorded one full length CDr named "symphony of new age destruction". It was a kick ass 15 minute CD and then........ nothing happened for a long time. We were asked to record a split 7" w/ Audicion Irritable + Onstpoard. We recorded the traxx for this but the 7" never happened, or atleast it won't happen for a while because of financial problems."

Then they decided to just end Handicap Handjob... why ? Because all of their releases were just retarded. Sam was looking to start a more serious band and so was kevin. They finally called it quits and started a newest project "Frustrating Existence", modeled after oldschool grind/noise bands.

So Handicap Handjob is dead... however, there are some traxxx that were never released (such as their rehearsal for the Deep Fried Embryo split, the "Exstilibie" demo tape, and the split w/ Anxiety Hangover), these tracks will be released eventually on one compilation tape.

And as for the current Handicap Handjob tracks floating around, such as compilation appearences, they will be out soon !!!
