Lies UnKnown

First I’ll post the spam that these guys left on a recent entry:

Real True Band “Lies unKnown”

Forget about tuning in to another band that sounds like the last ten you’ve just heard. “Lies unKnown” is a real true to life Detroit Rock & Roll Band. Originating from the surrounding suburbs, they have united together to bring you some of the best music the Motor City has to offer. Through their live performance at nightclubs, concert theaters and all age events, “Lies unKnown” is gaining recognition while connecting with an audience of all genres. The album tracks are available for download on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, emusic, LALA and other digital platforms. The full length album can be purchased from the following websites: myspace.com/LiesunKnown and darkgreene.com

Home is definitely center stage for the front man, singer/songwriter/guitarist “Justin Alexander”. As the driving force behind the band, he pours out his soul in each song of his performance. His ability to capture and address the attention of the listener is reminiscent of many legendary artists of the past. He was born in the city of Detroit on August 16, 1988. His parents were performing musicians, so, Justin started cutting his teeth on Rock & Roll from day one. But, by the age of five his parents separated, Justin’s heartaches, hard times and life experiences would become his writing template.

Heartache seems to run like water in the streets and the pain expressed in his songs are of a broken home and an attempt to recapture what was lost. “Justin’s” lyrics tell of a path that one has to live to be able to write about.

Bassist “Sara Cole” is probably one of the hottest things that you will ever see with four strings and a skirt! But don’t get fooled by the visual appeal, “Sara” is half of the rock solid driving foundation for “Lies unKnown”. Passion, Emotion and Precision (PEP) are the only words that define “Sara’”, she is prepared and ready for what ever the moment brings, and she definitely delivers the element of surprise to her audience. As a lead guitarist “Jamie Allen” sets the stage with action, enthusiasm and fire. His approach on stage becomes contagious for anyone watching him perform. “Jamie’s” chops are a compliment to the music of “Lies unKnown”. Flavorsome melodic guitar riffs and superb backing vocals are the principal rudiments to any great live act. These undeniable qualities bring his performances to a new echelon.

“Joe (Joe Pizzazz) Piazza” drummer for “Lies unKnown” has the potential to steal every girl’s heart. Lighting up a stage seems to be effortless as he displays his charismatic persona that magically lures ones imagination. But, the business of performing live differentiates him from any other; he is all about giving an instinctive hard hitting performance. And, the fans have the satisfaction of experiencing the magic, when he hits it.

First of all, guys, posting comment spam on music blogs is not a good way to get your name out there. It’s just not. And if you are going to comment spam make it something less lame than that, if you can? One thing I’m not too fond of is unnecessary “quotes” like the ones you use around the name of the band’s bassist “Sara Cole” - WTF are the quotes for? How about the quotes on the band’s name? That’s just unacceptable, you don’t put fucking quotes around everything God damn it. I already knew that this is an epidemic among the unwashed masses but it’s really getting out of control and your spam has set me over the edge. Man, not to get all English major on your asses, but for God’s sake that’s some despicable grammar. I know my shit isn’t perfect here (far from it.) But the whole “using” quotes every “other” word when they are “completely” unnecessary really drives me “crazy.”

Secondly, your little sales pitch (and that’s exactly what it sounds like - like something you’d hear on an infomercial if infomercials sold pop bands) is BS. You start off by saying “are you tired of bands that sound just like the last 10…” and well yes. Sure. I would be if I listened to the radio. But I did actually go and listen to Lies UnKnown (seriously may be the lamest band name ever) and it took about 20 seconds of “Open Water” to know that Lies UnKnown actually sounds exactly like all of the other crap on the radio that makes me… not listen to the radio in the first place. It’s cheesy unimaginative Green Day “inspired” BS.

Thirdly, lay off the goddamn autotune.

And finally; have you guys actually listened to any of the bands on your “influences” list? Doesn’t sound like it.
