Emo Headache is, to be truly frank, the nuttiest punk gabber DJ with origi's in NC!

original digi albums: emo headache - variations on the devil (legs akimbo uk) emo headache - gabbacore vol. 6 (demonic records belguim) emo headache - flowers and cockroaches (legs akimbo uk) '' - songs in the key of sheitan (banned) '' - polka sucks (banned) '' -gospel sucks (banned) " - squatter bum (banned)  - primordial connection (banned in AUS)  - tweenstar (LEGS-NET UK)  '' - emo sucks (LEG-NET UK) ….and my most recent album…. Emo Headache - A Final 'Fuck You' LP ~ https://legsakimborecords.bandcamp.com/album/legs-net-142-a-final-fuck-you ~ + many more tracks released around the world as singles on compilations +

As noted, much of my material is currently HATED AND BANNED ALL OVER THE WORLD. Have a listen if you can find the banned stuff to see why (mostly sampling racy crap like american history x, romper stomper, this is england etc.) I guess people complained so I've, as an underground composer, truly seen censorship first hand. Sometimes I censor myself, sometimes international anti-hate crime elitists feel impelled to shut me down. For example, one of the blithest and most generic labels for what I'm sure any punk out there is loathe to book - breakcore - decided to do the whole electronica "WE WILL SHUT YOU DOWN" BS for my e headache releases just for my use of hatespeach in my tweenstar LP. I literally had one of the most well known labels in their little pathetic wanna be rawkish but in fact the definition of elitist ravemusic scene known as "Breakcore" tattle tale around to labels I had released on in order to shut me down and ban my albums!

Yeah thanks for the years of great music Peace Off Records! wow~

When they gave me a hard time via IM I responded "I listen to punk!  I don't even fucking make nor enjoy breakcore!  Have a sausage party circle jerk to squarepusher for all I care ya'll fucking discoteq chunks of yankee breaksplooge"

I don't think of what I make to really be electronica tbh. I mean I mash it with a non linear sequencer so its not exactly live rock (which is hard as fuck to actually do live + I respect true pop punk performers far more than my little crapcore strokes.), but my Emo Headache stuff never uses synths, vst's or any plug-ins whatsoever - plus, I do actually sing original vocals and play rhythm guitar on many of the tracks.

I'm considered by those familiar with my notoriety globally to be a bad person… I am. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got red laces I earned from a gutter fight defending my punk girl at a dive in downtown Raleigh and a bikers jack that I wear, y'know, during the daytime or whatever, but just 'cause I'm making punk mashups that don't fit to yr corporatized little uber genre of safe n friendly breakcore (which has always been the 'oh we're the punk form of electronica' wanna be genre for decades before dubstep took the #1 poseur mantle) and samples shit that's not pc or sounds unconventional or whatever doesn't mean you should waste yr time trying to get me and my art censored! ~What kind of instinct is that? ~The instinct to censor others' works? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? if you are in fact in one of the bands that I gave this to in hopes of getting booked to do opening intermission and closing sets of my originals at a rock event…. one last word on my credentials as a died in the wool punk rawk musician deserving his CBGB's moment and is passionate about performing somewhere other than the soulless vacuous rave/club scene (My last big residency was Southland Ballroom); I only include this to be honest about where I and my hero's the offspring, johnny ramone or ac/dc originated on the streets of the USA---

"I had been developing one of my most intensely worked on albums made so far in my discography - Tweenstar LP [my 5th full length].  Forget that garbage Peace Off vomits out for money.  Tweenstar LP is just track after track of radio disney tween punk mixed and mangled with R rated hate speech from movies (harder to track down than you'd think tbh) set to hardstyle gabber kicks and punk drum bridges to give the tweenpunk a little ironic bite…  SO, I'm sending the label owner in the UK these tracks as I'm finishing them and you could tell he was really on que with the implicit humor of the juxtaposition.  I thought of myself of being like Johnny Ramone or Alan Cummings when he tried to get his hit single "I'm a Nazi Baby" released on Sire back in the heyday of punk.

One problem…

It went too far, and the label censored the lyrics and censored the title of potentially one of the funniest and hardcore of hardcore Ramones' tracks of all time which became "Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World". My label, LEGS-NET UK was at that time pretty racy with lots of pro-satan samples, wild horror sampling, and extratone so hardcore it turns Drum n Bass ravers' salty drum beat into dust. Yet even being so extreme, Neil @ Legs Akimbo had to inform me that he couldn't release my one track Sig Heil Tween Style (hear it @ https://soundcloud.com/nut-me-off/emo-headache-sig-heil-tween) which juxtaposed 'Hannah Montana' Vocals with Ramones Drums n Hardcore Kicks followed by a long segment at the end juxing a speech Hitler gave about the Jew problem with the soundtrack to the indy film "Baracka" and D-Horror film "Wolfen 3" providing the aural texture for the hate speech.

Funny? No?

Either way, I, an Irishman in the US just trying to do something funny with bubblegum and degenerate content for fun and funniness, was censored in a near identical way that had happened to the Ramones' "I'm A Nazi Baby" single.

That was the moment that I realized that I'm… ~just like Johnny. Johnny started a movement, and all he needed was to get his band's foot in the door to achieve superstardom. That's how good he was.

That's how I feel about my Emo Headache compositions and free emo/pop-punk. It's not exactly like these guys got the promotion they deserved and probz earned little substantial wealth off of creating songs that entire generations of punks identify with and hold in their hearts!!! Take virtually any indie emo band! It ain't exactly the musical brand that's gonna get you rich frankly….

But the mainstream hegemony is hardly stopping us~

So yeah, call 919-444-4525 and ask for yours truly, Brendan Hooker, to play a free show and I'll get my foot in the door in any building I can, no matter how rat infested! EMO HEADACHE ORIGINALS, MIXED WITH THE E HEADACHE HIMSELF SHOUTING 'THROW UP YR HEARTS' OVER AND OVER IN HIS UNDERPANTS + PUNK BIKER JACKET WITH FAR FAR TOO MANY CANS OF BEERS!
