Swan Songs by Hollywood Undead
Swan Songs is an album by Hollywood Undead, released in 2008. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 25 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Undead”, on 14 lists with a best position of #14.
Swan Songs, the debut album from Los Angeles rap-rock crew Hollywood Undead, came out on Octone and Polydor on September 2, 2008, with Don Gilmore producing. The six-man lineup hid behind pseudonyms and masks, most of them modeled on a hockey goaltender's: Deuce, J-Dog, Funny Man, Johnny 3 Tears, Charlie Scene and Matthew Busek, passing the lead vocals around while guitars, synths and drums pile up underneath.
It's brash and bratty from start to finish. "Everywhere I Go" went out first as an iTunes-only web single, and the band cut videos for it, "Undead", "Young" and "No. 5". "Undead" is the battle cry, a chest-thumping stomp. It's also the only album with Deuce, who left in 2009 over creative differences.
