The Protomen

I haven't been this excited about a band I've been introduced to in a while. This is for any gamer that really liked the Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) series.

The Protomen is an awesome indie rock band that I want to introduce every gamer to. The songs are about the original six Mega Man games and yes you can expect the same level of energy coming from this band as you would if you were fighting one of the bosses in the game.

Here is one of their live shows.

This band stays true to the game and yes you can totally jam out to this while playing the game. So you may be thinking, "This is cool and all, but I don't like live bands". You can check out their associated acts The Makeup and Vanity Set.

Awesome Protomen songs converted into 8bit. So check them our for at least 10 seconds, after all you are already online it couldn't hurt to click the previews wouldn't it?

The energy crisis

I finally got some sleep last night after 3 consecutive days of partying and doing full shifts at work and filling in for the those that didn't bother to show up. Yeah I was up the whole time

The last days have been so exhausting. I've been doing drugs too, music is my drug.

No, but seriously I've been using music as my medium to stay awake; not just because I enjoy music (like everyone else), but because this is the only way I can have some control over my brainwave patterns (iDosing does not work for me).

The sounds produced by One Day as a Lion have provided me with what I considered to be a legal stimulant- the entire ep is good and the songs are a decent length.

Here's a little rating on the ep:

Pros:
Great music preformed by Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore
Songs are a decent length, not too long nor too short
The sound is aggressive and energetic

Neutral:
It sounds a lot like Rage Against the Machine


Finally the negative, as  great as the album is the only bad thing I can pick out is that the ep is only 5 songs long.


In the end it's really music worth actually owning. It makes me wanna stay awake, it's great for giving you the confidence to finish even the most daunting of tasks that have to be done.
