ZEALE + The Mauve Avenger added to lineup!
February 8th, 2011
It’s official. We are so stoked to announce the additions of ZEALE and The Mauve Avenger to the TKAA 2011 lineup.
ZEALE’s latest album, DISASTRKRFT, could be called the perfect blend of hip hop, rock, electronic and mix music while paying homage to the epic duo MSTRKRFT. and talk about a live show. This guy can kill it. Basically it’s hip-rock-tronic epicness with a touch of gamer nerd, all done in ZEALE style. the beats are bumpin, the mixes well done, and the lyrics well written. love. it. you can check it out here:
http://zealerapz.bandcamp.com/album/disasterkrft
And lest ye forget The Mauve Avenger. Don’t you love the Hey Arnold reference?
Anyway, these guys will melt. your. face. rockin guitar licks, killer drummer, and the vocals will leave you sans eardrums – I haven’t heard screamo metal like this since…well, ever. For you metal heads, you have got to check these guys out.
