This caught my attention recently so I thought I should share the thing. http://vimeo.com/68177758#

It's the story of a band called Unlocking the Truth from the ghettos of Flatbush, Brooklyn, apparently the birthplace of hip hop too. It's impressive how dedicated these kids are to doing their own thing, because it takes some balls to be like that at 11 or however old they are. Major props to the parents for supporting them as well.

While it's true you've got to consider their age and background to call their music anything more than ordinary, still it gives me that tingling "fuck yeah!" sensation to see them rocking out on the streets, like this:



What are your thoughts?

Solo skills are already there, the second riff is quite good too
and they still have decades in which they can work on originality, variation and drumming
looking forward to what they"ll release later on

THey have quickly gotten a lot better and tighter. This song has some nice riffs, and at about 1min 47sec, he does a kick-ass guitar flip:

Just saw this today. It looks awesome. I definitely hope that they make it.

Man, they'll have a great story to tell one day I bet. I wonder how they got turned on to metal, it's not the sort of place you'd expect that sound to come from.

Badass.

*Wants more*

I'm suprised they're allowed to play in public in that area but all power to them! Always like to encourage young metal heads and good to see some that talented and dedicated at such a young age! Hope they go on to do well and look forward to hearing more!

This is too cute to put into words. It made me smile.

This is neat, haha. Good for these kids for doing their own thing.

That.... almost made me cry with tears of joy ! 11 yrs old Kids... in Brooklyn ? Playing Metal ? ... Kickass Metal...
There is still hope in this world !

I wanna see them in 10 years, they will be a badass band.
