It's official, again.

I have named the worst band of the Year. I know it's a little early, with a whole month left to go, but I have already heard a radio single I simply don't think can be outdone, save for invention of a musical instrument that exclusively plays brown notes.

This song is the new single by Theory of a Dead Man. Due to the unfortunate demise of 99x, and the fact that NPR (I've become my father, I know) doesn't broadcast news or weird opera music at all times I have been forced to roll the tuner looking for something else. This led me to stumble across the early front runner for this prestigious award, the new Puddle Of Mud single. Actually I don't know how old it is, I just know that it makes me think of getting a violent colonoscopy. I will never ever ever forgive that band for what they have done to rock, and I will never forgive anyone who admits to being a fan of theirs. All of this had me seriously surprised when they were edged out of the lead. Now, this was a real photo finish here, kids, but Theory of a Dead man is actually worse. 

Yes.

Worse than "Tell me I'm the WOAN." (How much do you want to bet that douchesack spells is 'skizofrenik'? anyone? anyone?)

If you haven't heard this band, imagine Nickelback. Now make them worse. Now make them even a little worser. and worser, and worserer. Now add a producer who thinks wit is adding a little nu-metal riff for a breakdown between choruses, and you have something approaching this horrible band. Yes. A low-rent Nickelback knock off with adema riffs to cushion the blow. And the worst FUCKING guitar tones this side of a Crate beginners pack (I tried to link this so you would know what I'm talking about, but I could not find one for sale online through any major retailer). 

Hell is too good for them. Yech.
