A band featuring the Paddle-
Pop Lion on vocals and...well, some other folks at the back that don'
t get much attention. The ol Lion roars about as loud as he can and doesn'
t seem to use techniques like change in dynamics, falsetto, or anything like that.
They
busted into the mainstream with their hit "How You Remind Me."
Meh, I didn't mind it; it was a nice change from the
boy-band crap like N'Sync and whatnot. Of course, I wasn'
t so hot on their stuff either. BUT they got greedy and once they realized their formula for success (which wasn'
t hard to decode), they cashed in on it as much as possible and went on to make some of the worst songs ever created.
N.B: THEY ARE NOT NU METAL. THEY DON'
T USE CRAZY EFFECTS, NOR DO THEY SCREAM/SCREECH, NOR DO THEY DABBLE IN ANY INDUSTRIAL GRINDINGS; THEY ARE "DUDE" ROCK, CRAP EXCRETED FROM THE BOWELS OF THE POST-GRUNGE SCENE.
