DROPOUT KINGS - Audiodope (CD)

You never thought you`d see this day, but nu-metal is definitely back for good and the time is right for a new party powerhouse: Dropout Kings. The Arizona-based sixpack managed to fuse everything that was awesome back then with the modern edge that blows our minds right now. Hip hop! Fire freestyles! Metal! Varsity jackets! 'Going Rogue' poisons your senses with a dark flow and pumping bass, before ultra-aggressive shouts drown out the heady rapping - and the advance single 'Street Sharks' makes that ceiling crumble over the dancefloor from moment number one. The young crew skillfully avoid the cheesiness of the 90s, and instead plays it ultrasmooth and mega-heavy on debut album AudioDope. You might not have seen it coming, but the Dropout Kings already got you hooked!
