TEDDYBEARS <3

Teddybears whip together a giddy, mixed-up sonic mash of international styles, resulting in their own indescribably delectable sound. Genres vary From E-Acoustic to Go Go to Electro Pop to Jamaican Groove.. Every song is way different from the other its like attacking a macintosh quality street box, Albums like this rarely pop-up every once in awhile and once they do you have to make sure to embrace it and suck every freakin beep and beat out of it. The main genre is "Alternative" but its been mixed n mashed with many styles that makes it really hard to just settle on one. It's sort of like "In The Zone" to Britney & "The Naked Truh" to Lil Kim where they have really assorted the sounds on the album so non of the songs would sound the same and be special. It's genuinely a Video Game Rock n Roll Sore.

Once i heard it i knew this is something i should buy, lots of guitars, lots of electronic samples, danceable beats, great catchy lyrics & seriously how many times do we get a hot album cover like that!?? I must've played this album over 20 times since i got it but then it got too much and i stopped for a while but i'm playing it now while i'm typing this and it sounds as good as it did the first time...even better coz i can tell the difference between the songs and sing along to it.

Most recently, the fab funk of "Cobrastyle" was heard on HBO's "Entourage" as well as in the Tab Energy Drink ad campaign, and will be featured in trailers for the upcoming film, "Employee Of The Month", starring Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson.
