Dude. Check out my my gallery.

Owns Big Mecha has pretty much one song, because another thing I can't write is poetry, even well enough to write rock'n'roll lyrics. Anyway, I write Luther singing all scrawly like that because he's one of those singers who's bigger on passion than enunciation, like an early Michael Stipe.

Somebody once asked, and I record it here for posterity, what Owns Big Mecha sounds like. They're loud, raucous, and clearly 60's-influenced, rather like the Young Fresh Fellows. Of course, I don't think that's going to help most people, as most of the Young Fresh Fellows' back catalogue is out of print. They did a double album with front man/musical genius Scott McCaughey's current band the Minus 5, titled Because we Hate You/Let the War against Music Begin. It isn't the best Young Fresh Fellows album, or the best Minus 5 album, but it'll give you an idea, if you care. And both bands rock to hell and back, so you ought to check them out.
