Garage Band Idol: Brain Damage
Let us listen to your original song, and we'll tell you if it sucks or not.
By Darryl Sterdan
Brain Damage?
Gotta be some teenage heavy metal louts. Or maybe some thrashy punk wiseacres, right? Wrong. It's apparently two middle-aged dudes from Ottawa who have been writing and recording novelty pop ditties -- and, if you believe their MySpace, intentionally singing them off-key -- for more than 30 years. If we were feeling diplomatic, we might say their oddball odes to family and growing old and Christmas belong on a Dr. Demento compilation. But the truth is, the good doctor has far better taste than that. So do you, probably.
DARRYL'S VERDICT: 1 out of 5 "Old enough to know better."
