Audio Bullys are an English electronic music project, originally consisting of Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale.
Franks and Dinsdale released their debut album Ego War in 2003, and two years later followed up with Generation, which featured a collaboration with Suggs and keyboardist Mike Barson of Madness on the track "This Road" and a collaboration with Suggs and Madness saxophonist Lee Thompson on the subsequent track "Struck by the Sound". Their 2005 hit "Shot You Down", which sampled the Nancy Sinatra version of the song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.[1]
Their third album Higher Than the Eiffel, released on 29 March 2010, featured another collaboration with Suggs and Barson on the track "Twist Me Up", with Suggs' daughter Viva providing backing vocals on the track "Smiling Faces".
In 2006/7, Dinsdale was also a presenter on specialist TV programme CharliiTV, acting as a car mechanic alongside his fellow colleagues Luciana Caporaso, Samanie Warren, Yasmin Shahmir among their other hosts.
