In 2002 Kroeger and lawyer, Johnathon Simkin founded 604 Records. You may recognize 604 for signing a lot of top talent out of Canada. Which of course was Nickelback's roots. Thornly, Theory of a Deadman, and most recently My Darkest Days have signed on with Kroeger who has given these bands plenty of exposure.
My Darkest Days lead singer Matt Walst, the brother of Three Days Grace bassist Brad Walst, had become quite the musician and instead of playing for his brothers band decided to form his own.
When Kroeger heard this band he immediately signed them. The first song they wrote for their new label. "Porn Star Dancing." They filmed the video in Vegas with Kroeger, Black Label Society founder and former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne Zak Wylde, and the most recent version includes rapper, Ludacris. It has Post-Grunge written all over it. If it reminds you anything of Theory of a Deadman with a little Buckcherry thrown in? There you go!! Its party rock for sure and this song is gonna be HUGE!!
Unfortunately... and fortunately. This is an excellent band with a lot of musicality thrown in their music, but they missed the mark here. This may be a publicity stunt, and it will certainly generate a lot of interest. Lets hope we see the real band before long.
The Video is posted below for anyone who wants to watch it.
Once again lets move on to some good stuff
Not much more is as exciting to me than thinking about next week. Oh man!!! Linkin Park and one of the most excellent bands ever Jimmy Eat World will return!! Why aren't you all screaming like little school girls...is it just me...oh well I don't care!!
To be honest not a whole ton to be excited about this week. Some things I recently got!
Untouchable by Before their Eyes. I've always loved this band and with every CD they get better.
Audio Secrecy by StoneSour. You may call it the Slipknot B team. I call them Corey Taylor's BEST BAND, and you can quote me on that.
Anberlin's new album. Dark is the Way, Light is a Place. For anyone that loved BluePrints For The Blackmarket. This album is for you. I'm so in Love.
This CD has been out since last month, but I just now got my virtual hands on it. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus The Hell or High Water. Its a decent effort from RJA. This band seems to be on their way out. Sadly.
