One Fierce Beer Coaster

So its time to go back to the Alt genre. This time it's the Bloodhound Gang. Fair warning, it's gonna get childish up in here. Those of you may recognize the name from their hit song "The Bad Touch", but there's more to them then that track, maybe, just maybe.

Bloodhound Gang hail from the aptly named King Of Prussia, PA, taking their name from a PBS Kids show of all things. There's the child theme again. Started out in '91 but not releasing a debut til 95. The band didn't gain notice until their second album, 'One Fierce Beer Coaster', which gave us the timeless track "Fire Water Burn", you know the one you quote when you're dunk at a party, "the roof, the roof is on fire..", yeah that one. The album takes Alt rock and tosses in hip hop and lyrical innuendo and it comes out like, well something that's on constant rotation at a Frat House. Nevertheless the album works and it began a career for the band. This album draws influence from bands like the Beastie Boys, Weezer, and early Sugar Ray, all of which played an important role in the 90's alt rock scene. Bottom line the album is childish and at times down right funny. Look no further than references to The Pixies, Judas Priest, and more. And did I mention Vanilla Ice guests on this album?! That's right kids, fire up the beer bong and lets party.
