Half Man Half Biscuit (Nigel Blackwell, Neil Crossley, Ken Hancock and Carl Henry) often abbreviated to "HMHB", are a UK rock band from Birkenhead, active sporadically since the mid-1980s, known for their satirical, sardonic and sometimes surreal songs. The band scored instant success with their first LP and first single topping the British Independent Chart, performing a must see set at the Glastonbury Festival, and rapidly becoming tipped as the 'next big thing'.
