Of the many bands I saw at this year’s Mutants of the Monster festival, BRAT were one of the acts I’ll never forget. There they were, a quartet in bright colors, led by a bouncy blonde rocking pigtails and a Prodigy shirt, with Britney and Cascada samples kicking off their songs. Of course, none of

Though their general message has always been, Better find something sharp, because God help you if we catch you, nine-headed Iowan sex llama Slipknot have always added an undercurrent of optimism to their music.
