Sucioperro (pronounced "sooch-ee-oh-per-oh") are a Scottish rock band from Ayrshire, formed in 2002. The band's name is a rough Spanish translation of "dirty dog".

History

Random Acts of Intimacy

The band's debut album, Random Acts of Intimacy, was released in June 2006 on the Captains of Industry record label. It features the download only single "Wolf Carnival" as well as the singles "Dialog on the 2", "The Drop" and download only "Grace And Out Of Me" which includes the video for the song directed by Jamie Lenman of Reuben.

Pain Agency

The band's second album is called Pain Agency, which was released on 4 May 2009, through Maybe Records. It was produced by the band and recorded in their own studio in Ayrshire and was mixed by Chris Sheldon.

Mums' Bad Punk Music was released as a single on 17 November 2008 through Maybe Records. It features three non-album tracks and was released on limited edition CD and digital download.

The second single from the album was "Don't Change (What You Can't Understand)" and was released Mid April 2009 as a digital download via Maybe Records. The package included a brace of newly recorded b-sides.

In October 2009, the band released the third single from Pain Agency in the form of "The Dissident Code". This is the last material to be released from the album.

The Heart String & How To Pull It

Sucioperro's third record, The Heart String & How To Pull It, has been released on 7 March 2011 through Xtra Mile Recordings. It has spawned two singles so far 'Threads' and 'Reflexes of the Dead' both of which were trialled throughout previous UK shows prior to the release of the album.

Touring

Sucioperro have been touring since 2003 including mostly headline tours, and supports with the likes of Hell Is for Heroes, Oceansize, Reuben, The Living End, Nine Black Alps and Biffy Clyro. Festival appearances include T In The Park (UK), Hevy Fest (UK), 2000 Trees (UK), Electric Bay (UK) and On The Rocks (Austria).
