Thoughts: No artist on Spotify is named Tapei Houston.  There is one named Taipei and one named Tapei, but neither have Houston appended.  There is a playlist called Taipei Houston Drum Sound.  But I don't understand why because it just lists two Royal Blood tracks and two Queens of the Stone Age tracks.  Taipei is the capital of Taiwan.  Houston is the 4th biggest city in America.  And according to an article I just found, this is a band made up of the two sons of Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich.  WTF?  Layne Ulrich on bass and vocals, and Myles Ulrich on drums.

Horrible band name.

Here is a live snippet from BottleRock back in May.  And while it is hard to really hear what is going on, this sounds terrible.

Like they are going for Royal Blood/cleopatrick sound, but just smear that all over the place.  Here is another attempt - a set for the local alternative rock radio station in Austin.  

The sound on that one is somehow even shittier than the first video shot with a cell phone in a crowd.  The vocals are three times as loud as they should be, and you can barely hear the bass at all, with the drums just being the snare and nothing else.  I get what they are trying to do, but man that sound guy screwed them over there.  Other videos have similarly terrible sound.  It is too bad, because I dig this sort of sound right now, but it is really hard to understand what this is going to do with how terrible it sounds.  Why don't they have anything on Spotify?

Oh wait, go see this Beatles cover.

Yeah buddy.  Blast those drums into the sky.  That is dirty and noisy and fun.  I'd go check this out for sure.
