You need more big dumb music in your life. Do you like sweaty, paunchy, beardy dudes yelling over metal guitar solos? HELL YES YOU DO.[More:] So here's some videos by the band Valient Thorr. They bring the rawk. And they have a Message For The Kids.

Tomorrow Police

Infinite Lives

We Believe In Science!

Look, I know that at least 87% of MetaChatters will not like this. But boy howdy does this band amuse me and I just had to share. Self-aware cock rock with a political slant makes me happy.

Plus, their logo is, like, DESIGNED to look awesome on a black tshirt!
Not bad (except for the crappy sound quality on the last clip - if a band has a message I want to be able to make out SOME of the lyrics). But I enjoyed. It had some good GENUINE energy and a singer with personality in his vocals (i.e. not screaming so hoarsely that it no longer sounds human). Based on the last YouTube description, it seems Valient Thorr is 'actually' the name of the lead singer and most of the band are apparently Thorr brothers. Mmmmkay. I liked the first clip for its humorous use of bad animation that qualifies as "so bad it's good", unlike one particular bad animation post on MeFi recently that was so awful, I couldn't make a comment about it that didn't get deleted. But I've been animation-minded lately, and it'll probably cause me to plug my new site Tooned.In inappropriately. Like just now. (I am working on a post/article about Animated Rock Videos, but with just very recent examples and that was dated '09)
