Scottish Post-Punk in all its guises from 1977 to the present day.

Spunkflakes is a 5-piece ‘Uptown Punk’ band birthed in 2014 from the ashes of a late 90’s cabaret/performance art act. They recently released their debut 6-track EP, Tales from the Skip, a collection of original mutant B-movie rock ’n’ roll songs including 46 and No Bra — a mongrel strut through the neighbourhood; Rent Boy Curry — a cautionary tale to lovers of after-hours delicacies; and King Kink—the band’s Disco-sleaze royale number. Spunkflakes invite you to take a rumble ride with them through scuzzy punk pop...and back again. Catch them live or visit youtube.com/spunkflakes and take a gander at their latest video Bieber Luv — an ode to pop idol obsession turned deadly. 

Singles and EP out now on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon or like on Facebook or click to Spunkflakes.com.

To quote Frieze magazine: "They are all what clowns should be: not loveable, namby-pamby jokesters or bulimic Ronald McDonald milksops, but an updated equivalent of Shakespearean jesters ramming spunkburgers down our throats till we vomit."

BIOG:
Massive Ego formed in 1996 with original members Marc Massive and Andy JT. Marc ex model and dancer for Boy George’s 90’s Jesus Loves You band, DJ and art event curator has fronted the band from the beginning. The band were originally at the centre of the short lived new romantic revival scene in London called ‘Romo‘ which culminated in a glowing half page live review by journalist Simon Price in UK music mag Melody Maker.
Over the years, with many line-up changes Massive Ego have played the length and breadth of the UK at clubs and festivals including shows at London’s Finsbury Park and Trafalgar Square and in Europe. The band have seen several single and album releases in the UK (Klone / Public Disordar Recs) Germany (ZYX) as well as releases in the USA (Ninthwave Recs), Belgium (Black Leather Recs), Japan (Avex Trax) and Australia (Pro-DJ). Massive Ego tracks have featured on well over 40 compilation albums from the labels above.
Originally known for their new wave pop sound, all that changed in 2013 when Marc Massive became more interested in the darker ebm/industrial/goth scene and from this point all new material reflected this change.
Early 2013 saw Marc supply lyrics and vocals on a track called Dead Silence by Lia Organa & Electric Prince and was released through Belgian label Black Leather Records with a brilliant video by Polish film makers/artists Suka Off and a remix package including The Horrorist and People Theatre. This single was followed up by the Low Life EP with Empire State Human.
2014 and work started on a new EP called Noise In The Machine, with remixer and producer Lloyd Price involved in production. With the track’s completed Marc secured a remix from Daniel Graves (Aesthetic Perfection) and sent the EP off to a couple of labels. 2015 saw it released on Out Of Line music with lead song I Idolize You also featuring on their hugely successful Electrostorm CD compilation Vol 6.
The EP has had great reviews from the likes of Side-Line Magazine, Brutal Resonance and Storming The Base websites. The EP entered the Deutsche Alternative Chart (DAC) at #10 and the German Electronic World Chart (GEWC) at #13.
A track called Low Life (Zarkoff Remix) was featured on a new vinyl release called Synth Wave Vol 1 released in May on new label Electro London Records. a new track called Out Of Line featured on Electronic Saviors Vol 4 released on Metropolis Recs.
2016 they celebrated their 20th anniversary with live dates at Infest UK, supported Blutengel at Das Open Air Concert in Chemnitz and Out Of Line Weekender in Berlin. The band also recently remixed Blutengel, OST+Front, and CHROM. 2017 saw the band release their long awaited album Beautiful Suicide on Out Of Line Music and toured with Blutengel on their Leitbild Tour and performed at Wave Goth Treffen, Amphi Festival & Whitby Goth Weekend.
