Masked Mystery Band Named President Debuts “In the Name of the Father”: Watch

You know what, why not just place “guess who” when it comes to the music we listen to? Everything else is so numbingly droll that we should just give this shit a shot. That’s why people watch the Masked Singer, right? I’ve never watched that show, but what I have watched is the new video from the latest masked mysteries President. The track is called “In the Name of then Father,” and you can catch it below.

Supposedly, the British rock band is fronted by Busted and Fightstar’s Charlie Simpson. It’s just a rumor, though. Some info that kind of does support this rumor: the fact that it was released via King Of Terrors/ADA—King Of Terrors Limited is the name of a company with an employee listed as Charles Robert Simpson.

[Also, Simpson has donned a mask while performing, perfectly enough for the British version of The Masked Singer.]

A press release trumpeting the single described it as “a raw meditation on existential fear and the inevitability of death, referencing the ‘King Of Terrors.’” I’d say they’re right on the money with that one.

President added this to the conversation:

“Something has been stirring. A growing noise, a ripple through the republic of the underground. We called. You listened. Your curiosity, your questions, your conversation… We have witnessed it all.

“Here, we make our first proclamation. ‘In The Name Of The Father’. This is the first crack in the surface. This is your PRESIDENT. We’ll be seeing you soon.

“Godspeed.”

President is set to perform at this year’s Download Fest on June 15.
