A to Z Challenge: Z is for Zardonic

Artist:  Zardonic
Genre:  Electro, Metal, Dubstep, Dance

Well I wasn't able to find a music video for this dude, but since it's the last day I didn't think it was too important.  I'm not about to pass on introducing you to the crazy music of Zardonic after all.

If you're a long time follower you might remember a song of this guy's I posted a while ago.  Thing is though that was a remix of one of his songs and this is an original.

Zardonic combines Metal and Dubstep in some crazy ways.  His faster tracks show it off better than the slower ones, but it's all really good and I really recommend checking it out.

Happy end to the A to Z, can't wait to get back to all the other posts I thought of while we were doing this, haha

A to Z Challenge: Y is for Young Thug

Artist:  Young Thug feat. Gucci Mane
Genre:  Rap
Language:  Strong

First things first.  I've got a Facebook page now, so you can go visit that if you want convenient updates in your social media rather than just on your blogging platform!  I know, I know, you've all just been waiting to get a little more of content into your life.  Well it's not like this is more than before, but it's now easier to find, right?

So yeah, Young Thug.  Dude lives up to his name honestly seeing as he's been arrested several times for threatening people, drugs, guns, and all manner of thug related things.  Generally not nice people doncha know.

A point of interest, there's so many freaking drugs in this video it's not even funny.  You've got your cocaine, you've got your marijuana, you've got your Sprite and codeine, and probably some other stuff I don't recognize.  Good times up in here, haha

Tomorrow is the last day of the A to Z though, so that's kinda a big deal.  Hope you've all had a good time with my theme here.

3 cheers for a majorly disjointed post that doesn't really connect to itself too well.

A to Z Challenge: X is for Xzibit

Artist:  Xzibit
Genre:  Rap
Language:  Strong

Yeah, I'm wimping out on X.  There really aren't too many bands that aren't fringe Metal acts that start with X.  If I could just go with XBox tags like xXsexhaver420Xx then I'd be good, but I had to go with what I knew.

I honestly don't know anything about Mr Xzibit, but I saw he had a song called "X" and I knew it was fate.  Let's be real, my "Oh-crap-I-can't-plan-ahead-and-have-to-pull-an-artist-out-of-my-butt" choice has a song that matches the letter?  I mean, since he's a rapper I suppose there's a pretty good chance, but still.  I'm gonna go with it.

X day though.  We've got 2 days left now to this freaking challenge.  I'm not gonna lie, this one was a lot harder than last year since I had less free time, less planning ahead, and all that stuff.  Eh, we'll talk more about that later though.

A t Z Challenge: W is for White Zombie

Band:  White Zombie
Genre:  Groove Metal
Language:  Strong

Who loves White Zombie?  You love White Zombie.  Everybody loves White Zombie.

Well fine, you don't have to like them but you can at least appreciate their contribution to the music scene with the popularization of Groove Metal.  Ya know, Metal with some groove.

This has always been one of my favorite driving songs though, for real.  It used to be that I could start this song and right when the slide guitar intro would hit I'd be hitting the main road and getting some speed going.  It was a blast.

This song is, to me, the epitome of Zombie's sound.  His new solo stuff is good, but this song just makes me think of his stuff every time.

A to Z Challenge: V is for Vanic

Artist: Vanic

Genre: Electronic

I don’t know most anything about this artist. I know that I walked into my coworker’s office and heard the song playing and I know that I liked it. That’s about it.

He found them about the same time I did though, so I’ll call that a win. He was playing a playlist on YouTube that has a lot of electronic music on it and this song happened to turn up. Good times, right?

I know you’ll enjoy the song too though, it’s (to over quote myself to death) a solid tune that is kinda smooth and just catchy.

A to Z Challenge: U is for Usher

Artist: Usher

Genre:  R&B

I personally don’t care much for Usher.  His style of music, while well executed and by no means bad, is just not something I’m really into.  Still, I can’t think of a reason not to include him in the U position of the list.

Honestly I’m amazed at the lack of bands I’m familiar with in the lower letters of the alphabet.  I would have thought that I’d know at least a few more then I do, ya know?

Eh, whatever though.  This post is about Usher, not me complaining that I don’t know any U artists.  We gonna use this song cause it's one of the few I'm kinda familiar with because of a show I watch.

A to Z Challenge: Runner Up: Thousand Foot Krutch

Band:  Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK)
Genre:  Nu-Metal, Hard Rock

I know what you all must be thinking.  "What is this Noah, all you're posting is Nu-Metal bands."

Sorry.  Since starting this blog I realized that my music tastes seem to lean toward Rap, Rap Metal, Nu-Metal, Death Metal and any range in between them you can find me.  I kinda knew this already, but writing it all down made it way more obvious to me.

This song though, this one is pretty cool.

The guitar riff in the verse sounds straight up like a Rage Against The Machine line which really makes me like it even more.  That and the song is catchy as crap.

I didn't really get too much into TFK back when I started listening to music more but I'm thinking I should start.  They've got a cool sound going down in the Rap Rock category that I'm into, ya dig?
