Hollywood undead have finally released their debut album! And its been a long time coming - about 3 years. Who are Hollywood undead you may ask? They are an internet phenomenon that first appeared on myspace back in 2005, when they first arrived on the scene they quickly dominated the play lists of myspaces many unsigned bands & within 3 weeks had over a million plays, the following year they reached a staggering 8 million plays! In the run-up to their debut album they released many singles & a number of popular Eps that helped them build up a steady fan base. The albums title “swan songs” is said to represent what a swan is said to sing before it dies & they are said to have chosen the name because it reflects their time in the band. Due to originally be released back in 2007 the band changed labels because they wanted more freedom in their lyrics & less censorship, & so a year later they release the full uncensored album, after listening to the full album I would say they have a good shot at making it big & possibly hitting the mainstream, the main problem they face is not really having a specific style but that they tend to go from hip hop to rap to metal - its unclear if they will get the same following they have been getting through myspace but if the cleanly polished lyrics & production are anything to go by then expect to see them in a CD store near you.
