Just guys in jeans who turn their amps up too loud and riff out. Complete with full-on D&D lyrics, like it's supposed to be! Anybody heard these guys?

that is very cool. Yea, it seems like metal (ok ok, all music!) is so hyped nowadays, great point. i mean, why has the music and songwriting taken a backseat to the appearance, vibe, hype, props and such. this is why i like local cable tv access. they have local bands jamming their music, minus the hype. i respect that. local bands are keeping it real. i feel a lot of the big label hype is a convenient disguise for poor writing and lackluster music. i dont want my mtv.
