I have anger issues and this isn't helping

Escala. There. I typed it. Without projectile vomiting all over the room. I have many reasons for hating them:

1. Bad miming - Britain's Got Talent (25th May 09), saw the first reprise performance of a previous act and they were it, doing an attrocious Classic FM cover of Led Zepplin's "Kashmir". Seriously, Puff Daddy added more to it when doing his "Come With Me" adaptation.

2. Bad choice of covers - anybody who sees fit to do piss poor covers of Robert Miles' "Children" and Rob Dougan's "Clubbed to Death" which have none of the power of the originals need shooting. With poison darts. Poison darts that will promote a lingering and painful death.

3. Gurning - yes, you're miming badly with a violin and however many faces you pull it doesn't make you sexy, attractive or in the slightest part talented.

4. Success - because Britain is so dumb that this album will probably sell millions. Probably to people who own iPods.

5. Duplicity - have we all forgotten about Bond then?

6. Name - At their first audition, they named themselves as "Scala", thus duplicating the name of the off-beat etheral choral covers group from Belgium, masterminded by the Kolancy Brothers. If you can't even check if your band name has been taken yet, you can't give that much of a shit about what you're doing. I know! I'm going to form a band called Oasis!

So there you go, before buying Escala's album, ensure you buy EVERY other album ever produced because it'll be a more worthwhile use of your time, money and attention span. That includes "My First Album" by Lolly, "Fiesta Macarena" by Los Del Rio and even "Pretty Odd" by Panic at the Disco.
