They were doing it there way in pre-history.

Ride The Pterodactyl is the long awaited first album of Tony Borg and The Human Tofu. Every track on the album can be described as epic or even timeless. They have taken rock music to a new level not of confidence and power but of distorted bass licks in a mesh with higher "cleaner" bass "leads", wacky riffs and various grunts and groans. Somehow they managed to produce one of the best records of the year without the use of percussion instruments. "We hate drummers. That's pretty much become our motto. They always steal our drugs." This was the only comment of The Human Tofu in a short post gig interview granted a week ago, after playing in a strangers driveway. We asked Tony Borg about what this album means, and about the message and feelings the band is trying to convey in this revolutionary style of play. "Well, what really inspired my end of the creative process was when I was a child in the late 80's. Two teenage Iron Maiden fans broke into my parents garage when I was home alone and started huffing paint. It was fuckin' sick dude." The influence of heavy metal titans like Iron Maiden is notable throughout the album, though Maiden's epic studio releases feature many lengthy tracks. Borg and Tofu's longest track spans about a minute and a half. Tony Borg commented, "we really went all out on this one... but at the same time we just wanted to get to the point." Ride The Pterodactyl takes this classic metal influence and all out destroys it with a barrage of stupid core that only Tony Borg and The Human Tofu can pull off, totally defeating the purpose of playing in the first place. "We pretty much cancel ourselves out. It's nihilistic. It rocks." I asked them about their other influences and inspirations. "7-Eleven nachos and other bands that wear sweatbands." I also asked them what inspired the band name. "Shut up, this interview sucks."
