Hook of the Day - Faith No More "Stripsearch"

Hook of the Day - Faith No More "Last Cup of Sorrow"

I've been obsessed with this song lately. I love the Vertigo-quoting video, where Jennifer Jason Leigh manages to give a non-irritating performance, for a change.

Thanks to YouTube poster BradTheProducer for uploading this clip of The Sword performing Faith No More's "From Out of Nowhere" during their FNM cover set at SXSW a couple of weeks ago. A bit fuzzy, but you get the idea.

The Sword---Faith No More coverband???

by Wayne Graham

According to BrooklynVegan, Austin metal flag-wavers The Sword will continue their annual tribute band tradition at South by Southwest, this time performing under the name "Zombie Eaters." Expect nothing but Faith No More songs, performed with The Sword's characteristic gusto.

Needless to say, if you're in Austin tomorrow, there's no better place to be. For further details, click HERE.

As soon as we get any clips of this, we'll post 'em right here.

Hook of the Day - Faith No More "From Out of Nowhere"

Hooks So Big? HUGE Mike Patton fans. One of the most unique musical minds of the past couple of decades. We could have gone with anything for a Patton-related Hook, really---Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Fantomas--but let's go all the way back to where many of us first met him. Do enjoy "From Out of Nowhere" from the classic album, The Real Thing, won't you?

****UPDATE****
No sooner had we posted today's Hook when the fine, upstanding gentlemen of Metal Sucks posted news of yet another Mike Patton project in the works. This project is with MP's Peeping Tom teammate Dan the Automator, and is called CRUDO. Not many details available outside of that, but it appears they'll participate in this year's Sasquatch Music Festival, taking place over Memorial Day weekend at Washington's Gorge Amphitheatre.
