Alienbreed
Genre: Rock
Website: Alien Breed
The Album: Antidote (13 tracks, 59m 28s)
My Two Cents
"The Breed believes that their musical quest will help break the mold of generic, angst posturing, rap rock formula and take the music to a higher level of showmanship and craft."
That's what I'm talking about. In a day where most "rock" music appears to sound like it was pressed out of a cloning machine The Breed manages to spew out a unique, easy to listen, sound of joy.
Energy is what I'd say these guys have a lot of and fortunately it's not in that "punk/Emo" sense either. Although some will say the vocals are weak, I would say they're "fine with me". So, again, open your ears, listen once. You'll only find new things when you listen.

The Ba..er.. Music
Like most of these mysterious bands I find, I can't find much about the actual people. Maybe they're like me and seek fame in a different light. I don't know who the guy is nor the vocals. They are "Console"
This is electronic(a). Majority of people detest this type of music. I am not one of them. I'm down with this shizznit. Right from the start button Console gets you running with some high speed beats and a feeling of "what the?". It's so good. Really. But, don't expect an hour and a half of "oonch ooonch" mad beats blowing out your subwoofer. These discs vary and very nicely they vary.
I can't go through all the songs but there is video game reference, so you won't be let down. There's also a song where the lyrics are numbers ("Your God Eats Me"). Yes, just numbers. "Surfin' Atari" has some mad feeling to it that makes me wanna get up and shake my ass. I'm not going to pollute your vision with that though. You shall feel it.
If you like Aphex Twin, you should like this. It's toned down in comparison, but still very well done.

Music Pimpin' is a 100% opinionated article, like most of this site (duh) If you don't like my picks, don't read, bitch or comment about this article.
If you're having problems downloading files, right click them and "save target as...". Eventually I'll clear out files. Although they'll be downloadable for quite some time, if the link isn't a link then the file is dead. Yo.
If you have music you think I should hear (I will listen to anything once) please email me [see my profile] with website information so that I can download music and listen - I don't do Real Media, so MP3 or WMA Only.
