OFF: The Hard & The Heavy Volume One

[mark von bargen]

I don't think that you could lump in Alien Ant Farm (AAF - another three
letters) with all the rap/metal bands. Have you listened or looked any
further than the obvious singles coz there's some fairly good stuff behind
the first impression.
This is somebody who thought that Faith No More were exellent with Chuck
Mosely but went down the crappy commercial route once he went through the
exit door. That cover of Easy is more degrading than anything that the new
breed of rap/metal bands will ever be capable of.
Anyway, my favourite band to come out of America in the last 15 years or so
is Kings X and I only got into them coz a review of their first ever UK show
made a very obscure comparison to Hawkwind which just about brings me back
on topic before I go.
