Speaking of Worcester's New England Metal & Hardcore Festival coming this April, clearly
I Wrestled A Bear Once not only has the coolest name in the 2-day, 52-band musical beatdown fest (honorable mentions:
Cattle Decapitation,
Landmine Marathon,
Austrian Death Machine, and
Animals As Leaders) but the brutal Louisiana grindcore band also has the best album art I've seen in ages. Look at this motherfucking bear!
(EP in stores Feb. 17, kids.)
IWaBO merch is pretty dope too, and aside from that super-aweeome "METAL JUST GOT GAY" rainbow flag t-shirt
for sale on their MySpace, most of it has a
creepy-coloful Jhonen Vasquez vibe going on. (Maybe that's even his work, I dunno, been a while since I dated a Living Dead Girl.) Now if I can only get past the savage ear rape the actual music gives me, I might have a new favorite band. Maybe.

That is my new favorite music video! Those some good ass song titles too: "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon," "Ulrich Firelord"

ReplyDeleteWait, Austrian Death Machine is a joke band?!??!?! WTF. I can't keep up anymore. Next thing you know Trapped Under Ice is the University of Minnesota men's ice hockey team a-capella ground.
ReplyDeleteI wrestled a pair of mittens once.
ReplyDeleteAaron, were the mittens wearing sunglasses and covered in green snot?

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no sunglasses.

Is it wrong that I read Track 3 and immediately thought of "Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood?" Cuz'I did.
ReplyDeleteOk... so wait... what's next? Is I Wrested A Bear Once a side project of Timmothy Treadwell?
