I Discovered a New Genre of Music: Hughes-core

Google Analytics told me that someone found my blog via the search term “wet bandits band.” That’s possible because in this post I joke that “‘The Wet Bandits’ [the self-endowed nickname of the burglars in ‘Home Alone’] is going to be the name of my funk metal band.”

So I Googled it. Turns out, someone beat me to it. From The Wet Bandits’ MySpace:

Inspired by John William’s amazing musical soundtrack to the original Home Alone, The Wet Bandits are here to put a heavy spin on their take of the classic movie. Blending brutal grind with historical Home Alone quotes, this will obviously create the best band ever.

I encourage you to visit their page and give a listen to their lone track, ‘I Don’t Think So’.  http://www.myspace.com/thewetfuckingbandits
