Half Man Half Biscuit, often "HMHB", is a UK rock band from Birkenhead, Merseyside, active since the mid-1980s, known for satirical, sardonic, and sometimes surreal songs. The group is Nigel Blackwell (lead vocals, guitar), Neil Crossley (bass), Ken Hancock (lead guitar), and Carl Henry (drums). Throughout their career they have been signed to Probe Plus records.
The band was formed in 1984 by Nigel Blackwell (vocals, guitar), his brother Simon (guitar), Neil Crossley (bass, vocals), David Lloyd (keyboards), and Paul Wright (drums). Simon Blackwell and Wright had previously been members of the band Attempted Moustache. Their debut album, 1985's Back in the DHSS topped the UK Indie Chart and reached number 60 in the UK Album Chart. The band's first single, "The Trumpton Riots", topped the British independent chart in 1986, and they went on to perform at Glastonbury Festival. They were post-punk, similar to Josef K or The Fall. The second single, "Dickie Davies Eyes", also topped the indie chart.
