INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD.

Eagles of Death Metal

Who’s not going to love a band that makes “dick-shaking, titty-wobbling, good-time, let’s-get-down, what’s-up-girl music”?? Going with the name “Eagles of Death Metal” is probably as badass as it is deceptive, as none of their music would actually qualify as Death Metal. Too many people have been turned off by the name without actually giving them a chance (myself included for a while) and I can only assume they’d be more well known than they are otherwise. Point being, I wish they had a better name so I would have listened to their excellent 60’s style dance rock earlier. Out in popular culture they are unfortunately best known as the band that was playing during the horrific terror attacks at the Bataclan club in Paris, where 89 fans were killed. My respect for the band as people as well as excellent musicians compounded when I saw their reaction to their fans in the aftermath. Blondes, brunettes and everything in between “shook their asses” as the band returned to Paris to play with U2, pay tribute to the victims and raise money for them through proceeds from the song “I Love You All The Time”. Moments captured in the documentary “Nos Amis” which followed the band before and after the attacks really show a band that is out to spread good times in a world that can be anything but. So check them out and shake your dicks to a band that should be right at the top of your list when you just want to straight up rock.
