Before everyone gets on to me, WATCH THE VIDEO. Not the best as far as quality, and not the most unique. However, to quote directly from the title of FIF's very first release - "it's funny, but not very creative." But, hey, we're talking the greatest band of all-time now. Pay due props.
Hilarious. Simply gutbusting. Appreciate, I say! Ska is on its last limb! Hark! The end is near! Or here, if you still think Less Than Jake is "true ska."
"Whiter than sour cream." Seems to fit my description, eh?
Mindnumbing song. Mindnumbing band. Mindnumbing vid. BVS may be dead. But that don't mean nothing when it comes to the pit.
Thrice's lead singer and guitarist, Dustin Kensrue, hasn't actually left the band, but decided to do his own solo project/experiment. He has a new album coming out in January, titled Please Come Home. He isn't making the same sound as Thrice; rather, he's made his own acoustic/folk sound of his own.
"Unassuming may just be the perfect word to describe Pennsylvania-born August Burns Red. It’s no wonder with boy-next-door looks and ages ranging from 18-21 that audiences tend to be perplexed by ABR’s musical style, which makes their metal onslaught all the more captivating. Formed in March of 2003, ABR almost instantly began turning heads with their undeniable talent and knack for writing catchy licks with a tight rhythm section to match."
Twelve Gauge Valentine is yet another hardcore outfit signed to the totally awesome record label Solid State. Once again, I don't know a lot about this band, so just stick with the music, and their album Shock Value, in stores now.
He is Legend is I guess what happens when you dip hardcore into "southern rock." I don't know much about them, but that's what makes this so easy. Check out their new album, Suck Out the Poison, or maybe just a few of their tracks.
Tenacious D is what happens when two hilarious comedians unite to make "the greatest acoustic rock band in the history of the universe." Jack Black and Kyle Gass are the two artists in this aspiring band...making Tenacious D not only "rock gods"(so they say), but also one of the funniest comedic artists in music today. They have a new album coming out, along with the movie, but titled The Pick of Destiny. Anyway, I highly recommend checking them out.
Even though the members of the band Wolfmother are barely over the legal voting age, this Australian trio sure do know they're '70s and '80s metal. Though they couldn't be called 'metal' today(due to the circummstances that '80s metal and '00s metal are oh so different), Wolfmother performs some of the greatest alternative music today. With some serious Black Sabbath riffage, I think anyone who is a fan of '70s and '80s heavy metal should listen to Wolfmother. Their homage to their genre is heartfelt and suprisingly authentic.
Ok, remember when I made that Dead Poetic post way back when? Well, they're back, and they've evolved into something different, so I thought it necessary to "repost" them. So if you want their info, go back all the way to my original post on them.
