These "SuperGroups" are getting out of hand....

Okay, Tinted Windows I can handle, because they have some catchy tunes and are comprised of talented dudes. Them Crooked Vultures - YES, obviously, based on who's in the band alone.

But I can't help but think all these upstart super bands have to be responsible for.....DAYLIGHT DIVISION. Who and what is that? Well....

Lukas Rossi ("singer" of Rock Star Supernova, that reality show thing)


Marcos Curiel ( guitarist of P.O.D., YES, THEM)


Joe Loeffler (formerly of Chevelle)


And Dave Buckner (former drummer from Papa Roach)


Now, I try to think about this without bias....but....a "rock" band fronted by the guy who won some reality show's idea of what a 'rock band' is, the drummer from Papa Roach, who are actually still around simply because they adopted the Lowest Common Denominator cock-rock shtick that allows them to tour with Motley Crue and Buckcherry and Hinder and bands of that ilk (and it is a painful kind of ilk), the bassist from Chevelle (who got fired from the band, which WERE ALL BROTHERS to begin with. wtf?) and P.O.D's guitarist??

This just seems so....pointless. They must all have shared a collective disinterest in the lack of work they have assuredly received lately, since nu-metal died down and all these previous bands have either changed their sound or disbanded completely (except Chevelle, somehow).....

but yeah, the songs on DAYLIGHT DIVISION's Myspace page are just as bland as you'd expect. bleck.

wonder who will be in a shiny new band tomorrow....
