Dog Fashion Disco Meets Unified Culture
What can I say? This is a great collaboration. It consists of Todd SMith(vocals, Dog Fashion Disco), Jeff Siegel(keyboards, Dog Fashion Disco), The Martini brothers(Guitar and Bass Guitar, Unified Culture) Matt Rippetoe(Flutes, sax's etc. he did work on DFD's albums over the years) and Jason Popson(Vocals, formerly of Mushroomhead, 216, Unified Culture and others). This album is very eclectic. It is mellower than Dog Fashion Disco and Mushroomhead. Todd Smith takes on most of the melodic singing cause hes good at it. Jason Popson does the awesome screaming, spoken-word stuff. I cant really describe the style of music this is but its got elements of metal, funk, jazz, and other exotic flavors.....right off the bat I can say that if you are a fan of Dog Fashion Disco then get it. If you like Mr. Bungle, Tub Ring, Nuclear Rabbit and the likes then get it! This cd is worth repeated listens....big time!
Great Sound!!!!!
I Enjoy all types of rock, nu-metal, as well as heavy and progressive metal music, so I am not looking for one particular type of music but rather talented musicians. The Alter Boys are just that, very creative and talented.Their sound is a blend of all types of music with a jazz feel. What surprises me with them is that the tracks are very melodic and not disjointed with smooth transition when blending these sounds. If I had to make a comparison to another band I would say if you enjoy the masterful music from Faith No More (with a touch more humor), You would most likely like the Alter Boys. Check them out you can't go wrong. I wish them a long career as they fill a crtical need in what I consider a stagnent music culture. Everyone is beginning to sound the same in their own genre. These guys are a breath of fresh air!!! Keep Up the great work.
Eclectic and Quirky
Great "driving in your car, or cleaning the house" album
Eclectic mix of jazz,metal, and comedy skits
A must have for DFD,Tub Ring fans
If you havent hear Dog Fashion Disco, pickup "The City is Alive Tonight"
