Who?

Despite taking their name from The Lost Boys, "Vampires Everywhere!" have more in common with Twilight. Much like how that film is an insult to real monster movies, the California sextet is a poor excuse for a post-hardcore band. For reasons I’ll never understand (or perhaps just the almighty dollar), respected metal label Century Media signed these self-described outcasts. "Lost In The Shadows", the group’s debut EP, features their first two songs: "Immortal Love" and "The Embrace".

How is it?

Vocalist Michael Vampire (the other members go by equally laughable monikers) used to sing for the pop punk band Love, She Wrote. Now that the genre is no longer marketable, he has hopped on the latest trend. His new vocal style includes screams and cheesy, auto-tuned vocals. Listeners over the age of 15 need not apply. The worst thing about about "Vampires Everywhere!" is not the music itself or even that they seem to put more effort into applying their make-up than writing songs, but rather the fact that the gimmick will undoubtedly sell. If this junk is passable as music these days, the world is in dire need of a Van Helsing to exterminate these Edward Cullen wannabes.
