Today is the day…the day when the much anticipated album from Hollywood Undead drops! Desperate Measure is a collection of studio material and live performances from these crazy guys. The CD/DVD combo ranges from covers of Zeppelin and Operation Ivy to live performances from The Sunshine Theater in New Mexico and The Marquee Theater in Tempe Arizona.
I was recently introduced to these six Los Angeles natives and I quickly associated them with the likes of Hed PE, and by that I mean their live performance and sound. Their live performance is immense to say the least just check out the crowd on the DVD! The energy from the album will knock your socks off.

Desperate Measures is the second album from the rapcore group. If Desperate Measures floats your boat checking out their 2008 release Swan Songs might also quench your thirst. I mean…the album did go Gold in US. The Undead did shop the album around for years trying to find a company that wasn’t going to censor their music. I know I was shocked to hear that MySpace Records would censor the entire album if it was distributed through them. Come on MySpace! It’s entirely MySpace’s loss because in September 2008 the guys signed with A&M and Swan Songs reached number 22 on the Billboard 200 in its first week.

To sum it all up, if you enjoy the high energy of rap from 6 guys from Los Angeles, you need to pick up Desperate Measures today. Plus, if I head to California in the next couple weeks, I am going to check them out on tour because their show looks like a riot (literally). It’s a great way to release some of that tension and stress.
