Hollywood Undead

"Hollywood Undead are a 6 piece hip-hop group from Hollywood. Their style is hard to define, where they cross hip-hop with metal and even a bit of hardcore.

They began as a two man project: J-Dog and Tha Producer. They first added their songs to MySpace and were a huge hit on the website, reaching number one in the bands in just one week, and even being featured in the MySpace compilation album with the song "No. 5".

The band now consists of 6 members: J Dog, Da Kurlzzz, Charlie Scene, Tha Producer, Funny Man and The Server.

Former band member Shady Jeff left the band in late 2005.

Despite being credited to many stupid online songs such as "Emo Kid" (A.K.A. "The Emo Song" Or "I must be emo"), they have only recorded the following songs:

The Natives, No. 5, My Black Dahlia, Turn Off The Lights (With Jeffree Star), Scene for Dummies, Christmas in Hollywood, The Kids, Knife Called Lust, Bottle and Gun, and The Loss.

They are signed to MySpace/Interscope records, but none of their songs have ever been released commercially. Their first album is due out May of 2007, exactly release date is still unknown.

On November 29, 2006 Shady Jeff was in a car accident, many rumors claiming that the crash was fatal, but Shady Jeff lives. I had a talk with Hollywood undead on myspace, (their real profile, not a fake ;)) a nice long talk with Charlie Scene, Shady Jeff is still alive."

From Autumn to Ashes or FATA is a post hardcore/metalcore band from Long Island, NY. The band mixes melody with hardcore styles, and their earlier albums featured a unique dual vocal style between frontman Benjamin Perri and drummer Francis Mark. This style was very innovative at the time and earned the band widespread praise. FATA's first two albums also featured Melanie Wills of One True Thing on vocals.

Following their 2000 EP Sin, Sorrow and Sadness, their debut full-length album Too Bad You're Beautiful was released on Ferret Records in August 2001. The unique blend of melodic hardcore and innovative vocals executed on this album quickly made the band an underground success.

The bands second album The Fiction We Live, was released in September 2003 and was the first to be released on their current label Vagrant Records. Although the album retained the intricate dual vocal style that earned the group success in the first place, the overall sound became more melodic than its predecessor, featuring a larger focus on Fran Mark's singing presence. Following the albums release, the band made videos for 'The After Dinner Payback' which featured on the 'Freddy vs Jason' soundtrack, and also 'Lilacs and Lolita' and 'Milligram Smile'.
This album also marked the final appearances of guitarist Scott Gross and bassist Mike Pilato.

Featuring a new lineup of Benjamin Perri (vocals), Brian Deneeve (guitar, piano, backing vocals) and Francis Mark (drums, vocals) alongside new members Jon Cox (guitar) and Josh Newton (bass, backing vocals), Abandon Your Friends was released on Vagrant in August 2005. Due to problems with vocalist Ben and his contributions to the band, this album features an increased focus on drummer/vocalist Fran Mark, and an overall lighter approach, marking a slight departure from the traditional FATA sound. The band made a video for 'Where Do You Draw The Line' following the albums release.

Vocalist Ben Perri recently left the band, according to a MySpace blog posted on December 5th, 2006. The band will continue without him, with Francis Mark on full vocal duties. Jon Cox (guitar) also left the band sometime before recording sessions in November 2006, leaving a lineup of Fran Mark (vocals and drums), Brian Deneeve (guitars) and Josh Newton (bass) to record the new album as a three piece. However, for live purposes, Fran has now chosen to front the band.

The current lineup is;
Francis Mark - Lead Vocals
Brian Deneeve - Guitar & Vocals
Josh Newton - Bass & Vocals
Rob Lauritson - Guitar
Jeff Gretz - Drums
