Borne of the underground but not of it.
Andrew W.K. makes huge sounding anthems for the masses, at first I found this repugnant and generally beneath contempt. To say nothing of the fact that some of it veered dangerously close to that bottom feeder papum known as nu-metal (no umlauts for music that weak, sorry), Then I realized there was a sort of genius to the compositions.

Not to mention that the guy has no trace of that deplorable indie rock irony or sarcasm in his body and that he's taking the faux angst out of aggressive music again.

Good, dumb, feel good music, and one of the only mainstream bands I like.

NOT CRAP

Big and dumb = big and dumb. I tried to like this stuff, but CRAP.

I guess crap, from what I have heard. I still find it weird that he has connections with Wolf Eyes.

This is so bad it makes me want to commit war crimes against children. The repackaged cock rock everyone shit on is now being championed as the new big thing. Surely you jest.

music for the short bus.

BUMP!

AWK was on the UW-Madison campus last night giving a free guest lecture on "How to Party." My friends who went said that it was hilarious and awesome. I'm sad i didn't go.

Big stupid fun. NOT CRAP.

Coldplay can still suck it, and I still stand by A.W.K.

Bah. There's much better big, dumb rock if you just want big, dumb rock (and I often do).
