I have been told that I don’t much variety when it comes to my music. I respond to these people with a raised eye brow and side smile that would even make the devil blush. Then I give them a list of the genres I have on my iPod. That always gets them because I don’t look like the type that would have 2Pac before Beethoven. Let alone house before metal. That’s right you’re reading a blog from a heavy metal fan and proud of it. But I have to tell you, metal changed a lot since the glory days of Black Sabbath. I sort of like where its going but there are some things I just don’t understand. But I don’t want to go on a rant about how Hot Topic is the soul crushing franchise that has betrayed everything punk, metal, and even goth. No, I will not say such things. Instead, I want to introduce to band by the name of Farmer Boys. Not much is known about the whereabouts or plans for this band. Fans fear that their lack of press or new releases maybe due the fact that they have broken-up. (I do not know either.) But what is known is that their album The Other Side showed great promise and even scored them as the opening act for the Papa Roach (when they were cool) tour in 2001. And another thing I can tell you is that these guys aren’t even from America. They are from Germany and Germany has some hardcore fans. Just look at the footage when Pantera played there. But anyways, Farmer Boys have to come back and take over the charts because this generation of head bangers needs their tunes. Some of the stuff out there is too commercialized and catchy to heavy. I want less eyeliner and more guitar solos that will make my face melt. So Farmer Boys, if you’re out there come back. We’re ready for you.
