Bands that make absolutely no sense

(wait until 0:17)



Seriously, what the hell is this?

 

[Harry Hughes]

I actually love this band to be honest
Their music is just plain fucking fun. It's a nice contrast to all those lame metal bands that take themselves so seriously and are afraid to do something silly.

 

[Proggm]

It's fun... as a comedy may be funny. I just can't see the musical enjoyment one could get from this.

 

[DANiMALxMD]

read thread title, thought "iwrestledabearonce", then saw it was the vid. pretty funny.

 

[InYourMemorie]

Okay all I can say is... WOW!

 

[xmortumx]

fucken hipsters!

 

[JMarz]

Soulfly/Anything Max Cavalera is in.

 

[JeffTD]

I actually quite enjoyed that, if I'm honest. Loved the Dixie theme before the outro, too.

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

I was going to rant about how gay the vocalist looks, but then I noticed the boobs :O

Anyway, since my scene knowledge is terribly lacking (which is fine by me), could someone tell me if this is a joke band or is this kind of stuff actually considered cool amongst the scene kids?

I appreciate that this band is doing some crazy atonal shit but it's got about as much flow as a white autistic kid trying to bodypop.
This is why I listen to Behold... The Arctopus and their ilk.

I think that's partly why I like it.
The band KNOWS it's so fucking spastic and the parts are not put together in a flowing way, which I way prefer than a band that actually tries to make stuff flow but just totally fail, like most of Dream Theater's from Awake onwards really.

 

[GarethSE]

Yeah, I appreciate what they're doing, just not my cup of tea.

+1 !
I love IWABO, even tho the debut was not as good as I had hoped (after listning to the demo for a long time)

[Damphire]

that Devin Townsend clip is priceless, with a couple of twilight references it would've been perfect

 

[Line666]

To be honest the vocalist looks like Gareth's long lost sister.

What they said.

Hey Proggm what band are you in

I remember randomly finding them from Youtube when that Smells Like Kevin Bacon video had just come out and repeatedly going "WTF". Later, I listened to the new album they released on a major label and I have to admit, I was quite disappointed with how they sound now Might be because there's only like two members left from those times, I dunno. I still have hopes that the next album will be better though!
