I saw these guys on Conan the other day, in addition to hearing their songs on Rock Band and a little bit of radio play. I generally like their sound, but I can't quite place it aside from maybe the thick Iron Maiden influence. I haven't heard much about them, other than the fact that I saw that they have a whole fleet of singers, but I'm wondering what you guys think of this band.


This is the performance I saw. I think they might have something to do with Harmonix (the guys that made Rock Band) but I'm not sure how...?

I originally heard these guys from GHII (I think) and later again on Rock Band... Apparently the lead guitarist (Bryn) is a founder of harmonix or some crap. Either way, they're not bad, some cool guitar solos in their songs, I must say.

Edit: Holy crap, it's crazy seeing that many vocalists.

they are a rock and roll choir.

that many vocalists looks seriously retarded. especially cause each one of them think they are a frontman and are moving around like they own the show, but since there are so many, they are practically hitting eachother.

if i hadn't seen how stupid it looks, i would say they sound alright.

ahahah yeah this is pretty meh. pretty generic. besides the choir was handled in a pretty useless way since they don't do harmonies or anything. i mean, i think you could do the same job with less people since it does not sound like a WALL OF VOCALS or anything.

or just get the actual musicians to sing instead of useless vocalists. it's not like they'd really have to focus on singing well if there are 4 other people singing with them.
i guess they need some kind of gimmick so 'set them apart from the rest'.

OWWWWW YEA, LET ME CRANK OUT MY PENTATONIC MINOR LICK.

It was more than generic though... Then again, this is blatantly a fun thing they put together, I don't think they've taken this that seriously (HENCE ONE OF THEM WORKS AT HARMONIX).

That looks so gay lol. Imagine their touring bus :S


I totally agree about the gimmick thing. It's like The Darkness but these guys don't seem to know what they're doing.

you should never discover a music group through a videogame. if you do, that game should not be guitar hero. if it is, never tell anyone.

hey they do have some actual good bands on guitar hero tho. dinosaur jr, sonic youth, stone roses, for example?? although obviously most people who DO discover bands through guitar hero almost surely wouldn't be exploring THAT area of music but rather BAND CAMARO or MUSE :rockout:
