SOUNDS LIKE BACON
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 at 4:09pm by Axl Rosenberg
Something is brewing in the IWRESTLEDABEARONCE camp. My once-favorite unsigned band (can’t call ‘em that anymore ’cause now they’re signed!) has now launched a website where you can currently hear a clip from a radio show where – no shit – they play IWABO’s “Tastes Like Kevin Bacon” for… KEVIN FUCKING BACON. Man, I would have loved to be in the room when that happened. “Swell,” Bacon thinks to himself. “First Bernie Madoff, now this.”
Even better: unless I’m way off base here, I’m 99.9% sure that that’s a brand new studio version of “Tastes Like Kevin Bacon,” different from the one we’ve all heard before. And it kicks major ass – I mean, I loved the old version, but to hear it now with a real drummer and such killer production values… man, it brings a tear to my eyes.
And betterest still: the website is counting down to… I have no fucking idea what, but I’m hoping the announcement of an album title and release date. I’ve been trying to get someone in Camp IWABO to tell me something, play me something, feed me some little tidbit, but they are keeping security tighter than Gene Simmons’ last facelift.
But, whatever! I can’t wait for this album, and all the foreplay means the love makin’ will just be that much sweeter. Check back here in three days and hopefully we’ll know more!

last time i checked it was “tastes”, not “smells”
FUCK YES! Been waiting for iwabo news for so long.
This is like the cherry on top of an already great year of metal releases
@ cockboy: oops
shitty gimmick band for ironic scenesters
fuck off you faggots
While I can’t say anything about the ironic scenesters, this shit doesn’t sound any different than any of the other generic-as-fuck myspace metal bands out over the last 2 years.
Their guitar player looks exactly like me. Its creepy. Super nice dudes/girls though.
I must be an ironic scenester, because that track tickles me in all the right places. I wanted to start thrashing around in my cubicle.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Yeah, the production on this sounds quite polished -but in a good way. Love these crazy fuckers!
i must say, i enjoy this band quite a lot.
if it they are counting down to an announcement of an album title and release date, i’m gunna be stoked!
I never listened to them because I heard bad things about them around the internet. I now see that this was a mistake.
Looking forward to the debut.
………people would actually pay for…..whatever this is? I’d never heard of them up until this point, and now I can clearly see why.
They sure will. Oh, and devildriver2112? I assume you chose that as your nick because you actually like them, and well, I don’t really have anything else to say about that…
That’s nice but this band BLOWS! Fuck them and any news about them.
Yeah, that’s definitely a new studio version of the track. Everything is a lot cleaner and some weird guitar work is a lot more pronounced (and badass). New release this Summer for sure.
thats actually a good tune
The drums totally slay on this song. Like the new studio version, although the rawness of the other was awesome.
you forgot to mention bernie madoff was a democrat who donated heavily to democrat candidates
I love the sound of the new track. It sounds a lot better with a real drummer. The only thing I’m not thrilled about is the reverb taken off of krysta’s clean vocals. I don’t think it sounds as good as the demo
i think it’s awesome (and hilarious) that this band has actually gotten as popular as they have. they fucking deserve it for sure but it is pretty funny that ironic scenesters and all around doucheturds will eat this shit up…but hey at least stevie b and the guys will get their pockets full of shithead money!
@Johnny
Its just music man, lighten up.
I hope Kevin Bacon enjoyed that as much as I did =)
this band sucks, axl wtf? i thought you had taste
i fucking love this band since the 1st time i heard them… even better live band! this kind of stuff is not for everyone. it’s no suprise to me that people that only like boring music like devildriver [or other one-trick ponies] and people that like to use the word “scenester” will knock this band. a lot of people hate the organized chaos of bands like iwabo, converge, and car bomb… and that is completely fine. so, if you hate this so much, then why bother even reading the posts? oh, that’s right… because you are a douchebag that has nothing better to do when you get home from a long shift at the gas station and it makes you feel special and important when you knock something that others like.
[by the way, "scenester" is the term used for anything heavy that douchebages don't like, and "emo" is the term used by douchebags for anything with melodic vocals. it cracks me up how elitist the former losers have become... used to get teased by the jocks & the popular girls for liking "devil music" only to grow up and be just as snotty as the cheerleaders... but you're really only 1 step up on foodchain from Trekkies]
I love when you babies cry “elitism” whenever someone has some shit to say about a band that relies so heavily on a trendy image.
There are loads of better bands with “organized chaos” sounds. Tons of bands that use melodic vocals and sound great. They just don’t have to don cheesy outfits and get swoopy haircuts to fucking do it. They don’t have to put on a hipster image and throw in a bunch of ‘ironic’ music videos for kicks.
If we’re only one step on the foodchain from Trekkies, then you guys aren’t even on the level below them.
