FOLLOWING WORDS ARE TAKEN FROM THE TOTP'S WEBSITE . . .
"Following the huge success of 'Teenage Dirtbag', the Nu-Metal wusses return with their cover of Erasure's 'A Little Respect'. Wheatus called the band after a nickname that lead singer Brendan's father used as a kid. Although the band have been compared to Nirvana, they laugh off the comparison, claiming that they are not worthy of such praise. The band recorded this performance a few weeks ago and certainly gave the audience a bit of a shock... You'll have to see it for yourselves, but let's just say that it was a rather 'fruitful' rendition of the song!"

Look out for more to come in the near future!
