Woo!

So yeah, just so you guys know, I don't care if you like bands that other people call 'gay' or 'emo' or whatever. I listen to everything from Kelly Clarkson to My Chemical Romance to Mozart. So long as it doesn't involve Laderhosen and a tuba, or the words Hanson, 'Nsync, Backstreet, Montana, or Jonas, I probably listen to it. Which brings me to my BAND OF THE DAAAYY! 

Every day (at least, every day that I remember to post), I will talk about a specific band that I am into. Today's band is the (semi) popular Apocalyptica! OK, so pretty much everyone with a heartbeat has heard of and/or listened to Metallica. Many, many people like them. I for one love them. If you haven't heard of Apocalyptica, they are a Finnish band (that means from Finland for all you unedumacated persons out there) consisting of four men. Those men are Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Perttu Kivilaakso, and Mikko Sirén. They do Metallica covers but with a twist. Every song consists of Mikko playing drums and the other three playing cellos. It sounds awesome. They don't ordinarily use vocals, but they do songs featuring singers like I Don't Care feat. Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace) or I'm Not Jesus feat. Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) and many more. Their version of Enter Sandman is incredible, and you can almost hear the cellos singing for them. If you haven't checked them out yet, do so as soon as possible. Metalheads and classical nuts alike will enjoy these guys.

Check back for updates often, and keep rockin!
