NOW PLAYING: We Are All Dead EP (myspace.com/zlamband)
THE STORY SO FAR: Nobody's going to mistake Texas five-piece Zlam Dunk for, say, Bob Dylan. "With songs about Patrick Swayze, Tog Gun, zombies, robots, dead presidents and rats from the Black Plague, our goal is to make sure everyone has a good time," says synth-op/vocalist Ross Bennett. Zlam Dunk have played alongside Drop Dead, Gorgeous and Eyes Set To Kill, and they plan to leave the Longhorn state early in 2010 for their first Midwest tour.
WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: While the subject matter of their songs may be off-the-wall, their music is just as original. At times it's synth-heavy and dance-oriented and at others rides epic guitar waves reminiscent of everything from mewithoutYou to U2. "Our style of dance-punk mixed with basketball and gratuitous use of the letter 'Z' make us perfect for anyone who wants to dance themselves into oblivion," says Bennet. "And we break more drumsticks than most bands."
