Did you say 14 lead singers?

Posted over 5 years ago
So what do you get when you take a bunch of middling indie band dudes from Boston who are all secretly metal inside, and form a supergroup consisting of three lead guitars, a drum set, a smokin bass, 14-20 lead singers, AND a chorus?Bang Camaro, that's what.All their songs are basically metal tributes, but they cut the crap and just do chant-a-long choruses and giant ripping shredding guitar solos.It is totally hilarious, and it's actually taking off. The band can apparently hardly even believe it is real.But it is. The director from American Chopper did their first video for Push Push Lady Lightning:http://bangcamaro.com/video.htmlWhich incidentally is somewhere on Guitar Hero 2 or ... something. I don't game so I'm sort of clueless on that.But today I even saw a hilarious COVER of Push Push:http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2011044538Wherein a metal shred is fabulously reinterpreted on banjo, accompanied by moody accordian and hushed boyish harmonizing.I'm not even a metal fan particularly (my collection is deviod of much beside a Winger track here, a Van Halen there...) but I love the hutzpah of this thing. I'd go see 'em.

  1. Sturgell says A lot of hutzpah is my guess, too. But I wouldn't have guess that it's be sorta cool.

  2. iconcentrate says It has to be fun... even if you're not so much into the metallic irony. A good hyperbole works outside its own confines... this sounds like it falls in that category. I'm definitely catching them in Philly.
