My, haven't they grown? Like an errant aunty, we return to visit little Engerica after some time away, and we're rather taken aback by how much they've grown. And perhaps like an aunty who isn't actually a linear bloody line aunty, more a very close friend of the family, we're a little excited by this young fella whose just reached adult age; all sweat and muscles and youthful virtue.

But Engerica make you do that. There's something rather twisted and randy about their grinding rock, something that makes you want to grind along, and in the past couple of years, they've gotten really good at it. Alot more so than those first illicit fumblings in the linen cupboard at that family party.

So it is that 'The Smell' is a good one. It's the smell of good rock sex. And we're in with the Durex.

isnt it unfortunate how much the name sounds like generica, which would be a good name for an ironic metallica covers band

Engerica - The Smell

it's a combination of England / America.
that's how they got the name, fact fans.

Re: Engerica - The Smell

maybe they lived in Enjland though

Re: Engerica - The Smell

Dave saw a girl wearing 'Emerica' shoes and then put England and America together, and he wanted it to sound like a girl's name, to show their anti-macho side.

Re: Engerica - The Smell

odd. theres an emerica sticker in my profile pic
it must be a sign.
or something

Re: Engerica - The Smell

it's really difficult to pronounce your name

Re: Engerica - The Smell

not if you think laterally, which im sure you want to, to get the ultimate satisfaction of being able to pronounce a boardusers name as you read it.

Re: Engerica - The Smell

did you go to sleep inbetween those board posts?

Re: Engerica - The Smell

Re: Engerica - The Smell

Re: Engerica - The Smell

Well done sir.
I fucked mine up royally.
Was crusing in the high 2:1s before it.
I got a third and bombed.

Still, somehow scraped a 2:1 overall... how does that happen exactly?

Ah who cares. I'm old and bitter about other things now.

Re: Engerica - The Smell

don't say things like dissertations bombing
it is a known fear

Engerica - The Smell

i find myself pronouncing it 'pnut'

Engerica - The Smell

Just seen them live at Glasgow Barfly AKA musicians graveyard. Electric. So much going on they were like a punk version of The Coral. Deserve to be huge.

But it would be nice if they could get a different picture for they're profile here. I'm not saying it's bad, they just need a more up to date one...

Re: Engerica - The Smell

Perhaps they could send us one.

I don't recall them looking any different recently than they do in that photo, mind you.

Re: Engerica - The Smell

sent a new pic into the profiles grl so lets see if it changes!

Engerica - The Smell

They don't look any different, it's just there are much better ones of them out there...
