Once in a while, good fortune smiles on you in such a way, that even the most hardened of hearts and most devout of atheists might believe that an invisible, all-knowing force is guiding things. I would like to take this very first installment of Destructoid's new music feature, Aural Fixation, to evangelize not only about how great this feature series will be, but that, "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
My experience begins with just another visit to the well-known, independent record store in New York City called Other Music. Were you able to namedrop a mere fraction of the sort of musical selections there, you might be able to hold court with Lord Nex without him laughing at you when you confuse Faust and Can (Remember, kids, Damo is a clear difference).
Scouring the used CDs usually just leads to finding albums that I've been meaning to buy on the cheap, and low-risk experimentation with bands I've never heard. Last week, though, I struck $1.99 gold with this find.
...a musical trio ahead of their time. Hunter, Tug, and Matthew are three talented eleven-year-olds with similar musical passions who are more musically progressive than many artists twice their age! While their exciting and catchy musical style reflects that of an older age, the lyrical content is certainly written from the amusing view of a pre-teen.
Hit the jump to see what you've been missing your whole lives.
I was unaware that the correct way to play Xbox 360 with your friends is for each of you to have different games sitting on your laps. Perhaps it's a symbol of affluence to go along with the prep school uniforms, stately southern mansion, and limo ride to school.
I hazard that the logic must go: "I've got so much money, I've got games I haven't even played yet in my lap -- and so do my friends." I must say, I prefer the diamond grill and spinners to this brand of showiness.
Stage mothers everywhere should be in awe of what Judy Watson has accomplished here: writing lyrics, organizing a CD release, video, web site, and marketing materials for her son's band. This will undoubtedly ensure that once these boys hit puberty and look back on this, they will be shamed one hundred times over for being willing participants in such a grand scheme.
The Black Out media onslaught continues with a behind-the-scenes rehearsal for the Video Games video, and this interview on Fox 5 DC!
My suggestion? Change managers now, and deny any creative involvement with the mother. Sue for back royalties and use of your images, divorce your parents, and start listening to Acid Mothers Temple as soon as possible (or alternatively, the Boredoms). Still, Black Out is the best joke band to hail from Virginia since these guys, so it can't be all bad.
For any further information, get in touch with the band yourself, either through their MySpace, or the publicly available e-mails on their web site.
Enjoy, until the next installment of Aural Fixation, which I assure you, will be at least slightly more serious. If you have any suggestions for musicians you'd like to see interviewed, don't hesitate to contact us.
Ha ha I wonder which one is huskydog sheesh, I heard bout these brats a while ago. I can honestly say I hate the sounds f children singing. little boys rocking out are almost as bad as nine0year old girls trying to sing pop ballads of the like of christina aguilara. it doesn't work. the best part is that whenever their mom pulls out the tape to show their friends, they'll die just a little bit inside.
who do you think is playing kingdom hearts? the ginger kid or the asian one. the middle one can barely hold the guitar. look at his face, there is something like forced constipation as he poses like a rebel or some shit like that.
Erm... that kid's voice is way off-key
Also, for a band called BLACKOUT I have to note that there were no black people...... way to make the racism obvious!
I think that was possibly the worst thing I have ever heard in my life. Why did you do this to me pidgin? I didn't murder and rape your mother, you filthy bastard.
Are people so bored with their lives that they can afford to makes such crap in their mansions? It's like they have all this money and they want to share the joy of having untalented children with the rest of the world.
I hope they get busted for possession of crack or something.
Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus...WORST band ever. Another parent trying to prostitute their kids to make big bucks (ashley or jessica simpson for reference)
what's up with glow sticks at a rock concert?
Actually, more like glow tubes o_0
and btw, most stupidest pre-teen band ever IMO goes to germans "Tokio Hotel":
I downloaded a copy of their song from their site where they let DJ's download their crap for free. Played it at a friends house and everyone vomited all over the floor then ran out the door holding their aching ears. This is the best torture around. Get a copy at http://www.blackoutband.com/djonly/
I hope this is not the next generation of music. Grown ups said Rock & Roll would not last and then Hip Hop. We've got to stop this before people actually think there is something to this crap. Let's spread this crap across the interwebs so we can ruin these kids before its too late.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I really needed to listen to that.
Eh, forget it. Good post man, plz post again soon.
that was a win article though, hopefully there wont be another band that makes me wanna stab children in the face over TCP/IP
I can already hear the Amber Alert sirens.
I think that was possibly the worst thing I have ever heard in my life. Why did you do this to me pidgin? I didn't murder and rape your mother, you filthy bastard.
I want to kill them God of War style
I hope they get busted for possession of crack or something.
You're welcome.
We also didn't over compensate for not having a drummer by making the kid that programmed the drum machine sit behind a drum kit and wank.
I just totally scorched someone less than half my age! RAVAGE for life, son.
Well I guess Kidz Bop was just a confusing front, this here is the real NAMBLA house band.
still not as embarrasing as that
Actually, more like glow tubes o_0
