Tidbits For Shits & Giggles: Shit The Bed’s Camel Bite EP

We Noticed in the Claymation Classic HAMSTER HELL Created by One of Our Favorite Claymation Animators Lee Hardcastle the Music was by a Band called Shit The Bed. So having a Penchant for Unusual Music and Love of Hardcastle’s Claymations We had to look into the Band a Bit Further. While Looking into the Shit The Bed We discovered that Lee Hardcastle was in fact the Band’s Drummer, and from there the Hunt was On. Below You will find a Brief Band Bio Followed By Shit The Bed’s EP Camel Bite!, and then the Bonus Track Krakatoa.

Shit The Bed Brief Band Bio:
