What we're all about

As you can probably tell by getting to our page that we're a band or if your over 50 a "musical group", not a middle aged husband or wife showing the world their weekend at party peir. However we hope to make friends with those average joes and hopefully open them up to a newer musical experience.

Where to begin... well we're all extremely young and fresh out of high school with tons of ambition, tattoos, and cigarette smoke. We drive a white 15 passenger van with skull and cross bones on the hubcaps and a trailer with a broken hinge and one fender well... yep its the life, when on tour you can probably find a cooler full of can goods and rayman noodles that suffices as our meal. The inside of the van would probably be covered with sleeping bags and a thick sheet of McDonald wrappers as a extra insulator. Oh! and i almost forgot, the fresh aroma of 5 sweaty unshowered men that tingles your nostrils. As Chad Kroger of Nickleback said it... I wanna be a rockstar, ha what a tool bag.

I guess if you've made it this far you can sense some resentment and anger of the false assumptions that everyone makes when you think of a "rockstar". The truth is that the music industry isn't what you think at all and we're here to tell ya! If I told you to name five rock bands of the top of your head i'm guessing some of the answers I would get would be: Nickleback, Daughtry, Hinder, Creed, and Buckcherry. Good for you, you can turn a radio on and listen and rock all day long to the biggest slap in the face to a musician. I guess I should back up a bit... we're not a mainstream band and don't sing about farming with green tractors, living it up with a rockstar lifestyle, or rap about whose color your representing. More than likely your saying to yourself what else is there, and if you really don't know then you should go read someone elses blog... i'll quit wasting your time. For those who stuck around, we write music that is "real". No structure, no boundries, and we bring it! We write some moderately heavy tunes and would probably rattle most of you who reading this hearing aids. Like I said earlier, we tour in a 15 passenger van, not a 50 foot long tour bus. The underground scene is where it's at folks... down right in the dirty with the fans and the cock roach hotels. Most of you probably won't understand why we would want to live a life out of a suitcase traveling in close quarters and for little income. Well to be honest with you we don't either sometimes... until you get back in the studio or on the stage when your packed in some back room of an appliance store that the owner rents to young kids for a way higher price than he should so they can have their favorite bands play a show. And in that room there may only be a crowd as big as 200 kids or it may be as big as 500 either way, its up close and personal and takes the show and the music itself to a whole other level. It's something that lots of people including yourself may never experience and its a damn shame. Tho it's not the glorious life of the rich and famous its our music and the real deal and what we're passionate about. No matter how many times you hear a hick yell out his window, "LONG HAIRED FAGS!" or a conservative/christian parent who complains that its not the way that the good lord or Reagan inttended us to live, you can't help but crack a smile and go on your way. We're a group of young men with good heads on our shoulders and full of life, we're happy and that's what life's all about!

Our new record that we're working on is a concept album. Our singer, Riley, wrote a short story about some events that happened in his life and metaphorically represents it as a classic superhero theme. Classy I know right?... it's better than hot tubs, and your favorite beer mixed with a great god and crazy people right, god i hate that song! We currently have one of the songs off that album posted on our myspace.... www.myspace.com/thefinalhourmusic. And to all of you that read this and made it this far... I challenge you to finish it by going listening to it and take what you can from it and see if you can relate to what we go through, and how we express it. Until next time i guess this is all!

don't let your meat loaf!
