My musical tastes have always seemed to gravitate towards obscure bands, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I have a very eclectic taste in music. My iPod has music from Metallica, Johnny Cash, Pavorati, Eminem, Kid Rock and the Beastie Boys etc… If it sounds good to me, i will listen to it!

Here are some artists that you may not have heard of, but are worth a listen.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Poodles!
