[edit] History
Picture this: a gorgeous little town on the West Coast of Scotland. It's got a beach, lovely parks, cheerful tourist attractions and Scotland's best-loved poet Robert Burns. This place is Ayrshire. It's not exactly the setting for chunky riffs, beers, gigs and laughs but this little seaside town has been quietly making progress on the music front. This is where Sucioperro met, this is where they make music and for a while now Ayrshire's held its own and seems to be producing much music finery as of late.
[edit] Influences
They've cited their influences as Rage Against The Machine, Crowded House, Pearl Jam, Tool, Jimmy Eat World, Talking Heads, The Police, Prince and "anything vibed/energetic/real".

[edit] Random Acts Of Intimacy
This, the band's debut album, was released in June 2006 on the Captains of Industry record label. It features the download only single "Wolf Carnival" as well as the singles "Dialog on the 2" and "The Drop"
taken from a review by Manuel Ecostos - Manchester Music:
Onto the album and there’s just short of a dozen intense tracks, bar one slower, ballad based outing (“Apathy = Inaction”). Strike out the first bars of “Grace and Out Of Me” and it’s definitely embellished with melody, trick timings and open / shut chords, undulating riffs and a real sense of hard, infectious rock. Current single “Dialog On The 2” is an awesome compendium of thick chords, bobbing under The Dragon’s commanding vocal layer. But personal favourite is “Tem v Com” which has the best tune so far, literally welded to a heavy rock work out.
