HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD

In a land where Nickelback/Daughtry carbon copies roam the Earth, where nu-metal bands have absolutely no idea of which direction to take next and become blander than ever...and even where emo sissies control the MTV/Fuse airwaves, you think rock can't get any worse....then it does.

Introducing....HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD!!!



Now...at first sight, you're thinking it's Slipknot meets the Kottonmouth Kings, with an ICP influence...then you take a listen and you think to yourself..."this is exactly what it is". I discovered this band through couple of magazines and promos, of course promoted as "the next big thing". Then when I had time to myself over the weekend with Adrianne, I took a listen to the first single of their debut album Swan Songs, entitled appropriately "Undead (Out the Way)". First thoughts, noticing they sampled Ozzy's "Crazy Train", adding on the immature rap verses, same ol' chug-chug riffs, emo-screaming, and unnecessary and excessive cursing...yea...this is not gonna be on my iPod for awhile. Take a listen for yourself...



Plus, a couple other "gems" i came across over the weekend.





You want refreshing rap-rock bands, try the Flobots or Gym Class Heroes...this shit ain't cuttin' it....Now get this shit "out the way".
