TEPODD
The Emotional Problems Of Dirk Diggler or TEPODD as they were also known, were a Blackpool based ska punk band well known for their cover of The Time WarP and their very energetic stage shows.
Career
The band's debut demo TEPODD...Are Drunk featured three tracks, UK Fans Can't Skank and The Ballad Of Sonny Gritts both written by Kristopher Ball and Ryan Mullholland, and Ska City by Hulme. This first demo was recorded at the recording studio at Blackpool Sixth Form College by Peter Hulme who worked as a technician in the music department at the college. In January 2007 Hulme split with the band due to personality clashes, and was replaced by Arran Bee. TEPODD were recording their first professionally produced EP in 2007, however the band split halfway through recording on the 25th of October.
