Hollywood Undead: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

{{quote| "Everywhere I go, bitches always know, that Charlie Scene has got a weenie that he loves to show."}}

Considered by many to be fairly polarizing, Hollywood Undead got their start writing rap songs about [[Emo Teen|Emo Teens]] and posting them on [[My Space]]. After gaining a following, the band's founders decided to officially form a band with anyone who happened to be in the room at the time, no, seriously. The band was the first act signed to MySpace Records, then switched over to A&M/Octone Records, where they released their first album, ''Swan Songs'', in 2008, which had a mostly [[Hip Hop]]-oriented sound with a few rock songs. This was followed by a live album mostly consisting of songs from their debut and a few covers (including [[~~Led Zeppelin (Music)|~~Led Zeppelin]] and [[~~Motley Crue (Music)|~~Motley Crue]]).

After a long hiatus (partly caused by one of the founding members leaving the band), they released their second studio LP, ''American Tragedy'', which featured a more rock-oriented sound. Critics and fans alike assert that the album is [[Magnum Opus|their best album to date]], and it has done really well on ''Billboard'' charts (hitting #4 on the ''Billboard'' 200).
