« The Sound of Macho »

We have heard the sound of macho and boy are we excited! From seemingly out of nowhere has come the most macho band to date, Helmet Head. Born in 2004 in the tough clubs of New York City, this band of 5 macho men have unleashed a torrent of spectacular manly groans - Fast Eddie on the keys, Luke on the guitarama, Mike on the bass, Brad Esq on drums and the magnificent vocal stylings of a very macho man, Connell.

"We love music and being manly men," says Connell. "Hey where is my beer? I can't do an interview without a beer. I love Mas Macho. Can I become a member?" These were the inspirational words from a very macho man.

Thank you Eddie! It is really great to know a strong and fast man like yourself can still make time for the fans! We appreciate it! Maybe one day we will honor your singer, Connell, like we did Udo from Accept! Rock on!
