One of our favourite new bands here on Backseat Mafia has been Nottingham noise rock / punks Baby Godzilla, following on from an amazing performance we caught them at at last years Tramline Festival. Sadly, they’ve come under the scrutiny of the Toho Co. Ltd, who own the Godzilla name, and who persue with some vigour those who use that name without express permission. Therefore the band have changed moniker, and will be known forthwith as Heck. Here’s the press release from the band themselves.
“Friends,
This may seem abrupt but following some fairly conclusive and forceful instructions it is time we instigated a change. We; the collective of Matt Reynolds, Jonny Hall, Tom Marsh and Paul Shelley, will from now on and henceforth be known as HECK. To all of the incredible people we have had the absolute pleasure of meeting, working with, playing with and playing to make no mistake; this is still us. We will never compromise and we promise you our undivided commitment, ambition and passion. Every drop of blood and energy we have belongs to you. This news is not presented with regret and although this wasn’t ultimately our long-term plan we are looking at this as an exciting new chapter. We press on, reinvigorated, focused and with more fire in our bellies than ever.
Don’t fear the change, we’re here for you, get behind us.”
Sincerely,
Matt, Jonny, Tom and Paul
