We have been trying to use myspace for a while just to promote the DIY mentality in music culture. We believed that this way we could broaden the amount of people who could appreciate a negative attitude towards the music industry, mostly people who were not familiar with DIY so far. Until recently, for wrong or right, we believed that we could use myspace with our own rules. Hoewever, we soon realised that myspace was using us. Without our consent there were changes and advertisements in our profile, making us promotional material for money making brands. We never wanted any kind of pimp or any other to exploit the music and everyone else who wanted to hear our songs and check the band news. There are other ways to communicate throught free domains and blogs and of cource we can meet our friends in free places and gigs…That’s why we say NO to myspace!

Hey all, we are Straitjacket Fit, four people playing music together since 2000. We start from Patras and do gigs in squats and free places all over Greece and Europe,when we can. We produce our music on a DIY way with a lot of help from our friends. We have released two albums by now, #O (2006) and Lies (2009) and have participated in a few DIY compilations. We have nothing to do with the official music industry and the companies' music slavery trade. "Money burns their eyes but they can't feel it cause they live from the pain of others..."
