As a local up-and-coming rock and roll quartet, we in Scamper are always looking for ways to raise the band's profile. We are woefully unashamed of gimmicks (wait until you see the shenanigans we have planned for March), but still - amongst all the great bands in Boston, it's tough to make ourselves stick out.
Then, my good buddy Vinny Shit on the Face had a brilliant idea: a feud. We start a media war of words with another band - sniping at each other in interviews, writing songs with subtle digs in the lyrics, etc. I think it would be wicked awesome. Hell, it worked for Oasis and Blur.
But with whom should we do verbal battle? Fooled By April is too easy - I live with Joe and there's just too much material there. Plus, no one wants to hear a song called "Your Farts Could Strip the Paint Off A Military Shed" (although it's a catchy little number with a beat you can really dance to). The same issues apply to Baby Strange (I went to high school with Ryan) and the Good North (college with Luke) - I could unearth some dirt, but no one would really care. Our sophomore year, Luke murdered a hobo, by the way.
So I thought I'd bring the issue to you, the Scamps. With what band should Scamper start a feud? What should we do to start this feud? The best answer gets a smooch on the cheek from Mike Mirabella. You have 30 minutes to complete this test. And........ begin!

Brett Rosenberg would be an easy one.
What should we say about him? Would he fight back?
We could say he's from upsate New York, and that Albany sucks!
Oh wait.

I knew that. Still awful trash talk.
one word, Aerosmith
Ah, yes. People have been waiting for the culmination of the long-burning Scamper vs. Aerosmith rivalry for a long time. It started when Brad Whitford stole my bike.
