Ah, where to begin? How about after this sentence?
What do you get when you combine Fall Out Boy, Bob Dylan, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and The Eagles? I have no idea. Anyway, here we are talking about the best band you've ever heard; The Damn Dirty Grapes. A band whose members have totally different styles, influences, addresses, dates of birth, heights, weights, nationalities, instruments, and names. Enter:
Derek Prior. The Master of the Stratocaster. Chunky riffs, searing leads, and lots of mistakes are the things he does best. He is the undisputed king of E-flat major and can palm mute with the best of him. You might never quite get over some of his riffs, but you know what? Neither will he.
Misha Rosolak. A Basshole. This man has a fat bottom, both ass and tone wise. He is the World's Biggest Rock Star, and the only things stopping him are traffic lights and stop signs (and things he can't do). His vocals have been describes as a cross between Eddie Vedder, James Hetfield, and someone who is a very bad singer. His totally serious and studious lyrics simply add to the marvel.
Ronald Y. Saad. Y. Saad indeed. This man keeps better time then the man who stole your watch and liked it. He is just too good to play with his high-hat closed. A full foot smaller and narrower than Misha Rosolak, the two make perhaps the most formidable and tight rhythm section since Flea and John Bonham.
The songs. Yes, the band has some of those, too. They have at least four, and I think some of those are on this very web page. Eerie. If you hear these songs, you'll do one of three things: remember them forever, forget them immedately, or a cross between the two. They are just that powerful.
Give the tracks a listen, and you'll be thinking "get your filthy songs out of my head, you Damn Dirty Grapes!"
