Street Drum Corps (The Used, Circus Minor, The Start) plan full length debut

Posted by aubin on Thursday, November 10, 2005 at 3:29 PM (EST)

Street Drum Corps, which features Bert McCracken of The Used, Frank Zummo of The Start and others have begun work on a forthcoming full length debut. The band is often described as a "punk rock STOMP", referring to the popular found-percussion-based performers, and released their first official track, a cover of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" on the recent Taste of Christmas compilation.

According to this story, the album will feature predominately found instruments like garbage cans and satellite dishes, chains and propane tanks. The group also plans to enlist of the aid of friends and hopes to garner contributions from DJ Shadow, Daryl Palumbo and Daron Malakian of System of a Down, among others.

The album is expected next year via Warcon and a track can be heard on their myspace page.

Bert McCracken is one of the ugliest men alive.

Funny because it is true. Get a fucking hair cut. Everyone knows you are going bald.

Someone (November 10, 2005)

i've seen uglier.

thegetaway (November 10, 2005)

oh yes, there are uglier, but tell me you wouldn't be freaked up waking up to that guy standing over your bed looking at you. I would much rather wake up to someone like the lead singer of All American Rejects standing over my bed...

Someone (November 10, 2005)

Yeah, but he's "TV" ugly, not "ugly-ugly" That's much worse.

PaperTiger (November 10, 2005)

more like Pug-Fugly.

skaboom (November 11, 2005)

He reminds me of Andrew WK. Only minus the extraordinary amounts of ass-kickery that seeps from every pore of that unstoppable machine of rock.

the Misfits

Someone (November 10, 2005)

saw these guys when the used came to edmonton. they blew my goddamn eardrums. very fuckin loud, but it was insanely cool

ILOVESCOTT (November 10, 2005)

could their pictures be any more photo-shopped?

Dante3000 (rich) (November 10, 2005)

I have to say I just listened to Flaco 81 on their myspace page...I liked it better the first time, when it was called The Blue Man Group. C'mon, I get the whole, "We bang buckets and trashcans and walls instead of just drums". Super, congrats, you're a three year old with better timing and reflexes. Do something fucking inovative at least. STOMP was cool because it was an amazing show and a bunch of coreographed pieces. Blue Man group had great pantamime and made totally one of a kind instruaments. This shit is dudes banging drums and pots...Wow! -Dante

Someone (November 10, 2005)

you sound like a bitter asshole. did they bone your chick, or dude or something?

Dante3000 (rich) (November 10, 2005)

I was kinda gonna reaspond to that but, " bone your chick, or dude", actually made me laugh. Either I'm gay or they are, both are fine. -Dante

Someone (November 10, 2005)

indeed sir.

Someone (November 11, 2005)

i saw the used the other day at taste of chaos, actually surprisingly good. u have to wade through a lot of shite on the albums tho but theres a few awesome songs. they even broke into new noise at the end which was ace but christ, for everything the refused stood for the refused surely didn't agree that the used could play one of their songs...

Someone (November 11, 2005)

Craptastic!

Someone (November 14, 2005)

this is the most stupid thing i have ever heard.

Someone (November 17, 2005)

this is a great hit bert does an amazing job on the lyrics and all the 'instruments' are amazing especially at the end when they use all the garbage cans as drums its fantabulous!

CaptainHook (December 17, 2005)

that was a f'in sweet cover of the beatles tune (Merry Christmas (war is over)). I need to find out more about this band!

Someone (January 23, 2006)

I loved it when you played at Magic Mountain Last Summer. I'm in a band currently called Broken Wingz. It's not like your guy's's but I'm gonna' try to make it big.

Someone (January 23, 2006)
