Hollywood Undead

Hollywood Undead are one of my favourite bands and the band that all of my friends and I fan over. My siblings and I all love their music and are always listening to them. They are an American rap rock band from Los Angeles, California that formed in 2005. They have six members who all go by stage names, although you can easily find out their real names online, each wearing their own unique mask. They change their masks every few years, usually when a new album comes out, but it's just a variation of the previous mask, so it's not hard to tell who is who after you learn what their mask is.
In any case, my friends and I all love Hollywood Undead, so since I posted one of their songs as the song of the month, I figured I should do a band review. Although I love the band, I'm aware not everyone does and some of their songs are quite explicit or can be offensive, so you can check them out at your own risk.

They are an amazing band, though not for everyone, but I'd still recommend checking them out! The band's sound has changed a lot over the years, but they still have a lot of unbelievably good songs with deep meaning, as well as songs that easily energize you and get you moving. They have an amazing sound and brilliant voices to go with it, so you should check them out and see what you think!
