Why didn't anyone tell me about this band?  The one thing I've found as I've grown older is that I don't keep up with new music like I used to.  I've only watched a few of their video's on youtube right now and man what an awesome band.  Vocalist is awesome and the music is fantastic.

If you listen to any type of rock radio, you should've heard of them a long time ago.

Don't listen to radio at all.  Honestly 99% of the stuff I was hearing on the radio I thought was god awful...but that's how I end up missing great bands.

Been listening to these guys for about 5 years now. They'll be playing the Carolina Rebellion on May 7.

And you do have to look for music like this because terrestrial radio generally sucks balls and rarely plays anything like this and satellite radio has one channel which may occasionally play something like this. 

Their version of "Bad Company" came out in 2010, but was already 5 years after the band's first release. Most people haven't heard of their first couple albums, which are pretty decent despite the lack of quality production. But a much more raw sound is what you get with less production and I appreciate that aspect of the music (like comparing Master of Puppets production quality to the Black Metallica album production sound).

I use Sputnik Music to find new bands/releases/music in general.  It's a peer-review site, but they have like every genre under the sun listed.  If I find a band that intrigues me, I'll look them up on Spotify.  I tend to lean towards the metal/metalcore genre and it's hard to find new music sometimes, but this site does the trick.

Five Finger Death Punch is very okay. There is no way you've ever listened to any kind of modern rock radio and not heard them before, they're half of what they play on a regular basis. The only song of theirs I really like is The Bleeding.

Yeah but I don't listen to the radio anymore.  Like I said in a previous post I find much of modern rock to be boring and stale.  And I'm not really even saying this band is great or anything but this song is great in my book.  I've listened to a few of their other songs and while I think they are good they don't hit me like this one in particular.

They aren't bad, good for in the car, but it's basically bro-rock for bro's to lift out to lol.

Bite the bullet subscribe and listen to Octane on XM.

There was a thread here about them one time where I pissed people off because I didn't really like their music nor could I rally behind their catering towards the "support the troops" crowd...

good times!
