DANCE
HALL PiMPS EMERGE
ViCTORiOUS
AS ROCKWiRED.COM's ARTiST OF THE MONTH!!! MAY
1, 2012 - The polls have closed for
ROCKWIRED.COM's
recent ARTIST OF
THE MONTH campaign. Voters from all over the U.S. made their vote count
and DANCE HALL PIMPS are ROCKWIRED.COM's newest ARTIST OF THE
MONTH for their new release BEAST FOR LOVE. The
debut album from the DANCE HALL PIMPS features
twelve tracks (10 originals and 2 covers), showcasing the band’s fresh
take on genres ranging from swampy garage rock to New Orleans-style
rags and romp. Combining dark and twisted subject matter and wistful
lyrics with upbeat tempos and mind blowing vocals, the album can hardly
fit neatly into any genre. Innovative lyrics and catchy hooks are what
have created memorable tracks with great stories. The singles off the
album “MOMMY WAS A ZOMBIE” and “BEAST OF LOVE” offer up infectious
hooks with foot tapping beats.“MOMMY WAS A ZOMBIE,” despite its novelty
song title, tells the story of being raised by a drug addicted mother
and without a father; without knowing the lyrics, its buoyant and
cheerful roots rock beat masks the tragedy at the heart of the
song. “BEAST OF LOVE” references classic horror movies to make
a simple point: even monsters are just looking for love. Sometimes we
become beasts as love takes the best of us. Sometimes we’re looking for
a beast to love. The quest for love is told
through captivating lyrics with subtle cinematic references and retro
rhythms.Vocal tracks on the DANCE HALL PIMPS
debut album BEAST OF LOVE were recorded at NIGHTBIRD
STUDIOS at the famous Sunset Marquis Hotel and were produced
by ROB HILL (KORN, XZIBIT) and GRAMMY Winner MATT HYDE (Cypress Hill,
Porno for Pyros). Each member
of the Dance Hall Pimps wrote, co-wrote or
arranged at least one song on BEAST OF LOVE.
A portion of the profits of Beast for Love will
be donated to organizations that fight the sex trafficking of children
in the United States and provide services to victims. “Pimp Music Not
People,” DANCE HALL PIMPS are sex-positive among
consenting adults, but oppose all human trafficking and sex slavery.Other nominees for ARTIST OF THE MONTH included SUMMIT DUB SQUAD, ART KENYON, JANUS, TRYSETTE, BLUE MOVIE and WINCHESTER REBELS ROCKWIRED.COM will be launching its latest ARTIST OF THE MONTH campaign on MAY 1, 2012.
