Oh shit, the single is LIVE! The Team Six metal track with J. Rouse made the Best of the Week on Newgrounds.com http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/ Over 2 thousand plays in 3 days, motha's. We're back on a mission, and we've got a lot of shit coming up shortly. BIO- Like all projects and branches of FSM Media, Team Six forged a life of its own under the vague supervision of JRay and DPlit, its inattentive creators. The original Team was composed of two homeless men in the streets of peninsular Charleston who eloquently preached Spinozaic dictum and Marxist global strategy to anyone who would listen. Adopting the name and the outlook of any two man group with the audacity to title themselves four men short of reality, Team Six was transformed into a filing cabinet freedom fighter force in the hit FSM film Attack of the Filing Cabinets II. Since they first met, two of the three FSM founders JRay and DPlit have dabbled in the musical arts. In November 2006 JRay’s distinctive musical taste had evolved to a point that he was regularly producing original and superfluous beats which proved to succinctly meld the worlds of soundtrack orchestration, hardcore rap and eclectic progressive metal. As the music became more mainstream and lyrically friendly DPlit’s literary sensabilities entwined with JRay’s ability to spout catchy chorus lines fashioned the song “Jelly Fish Disaster.” It was a roaring success. Seeing how easy it was to make rap songs, the two saw this as an opportunity to raise money for their film efforts. The natural name for this new musical experiment: Team Six. In order to diversify the quality and imagination of the group Team Six traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with the infamous K8Riot, a vocalist professionally trained as a choral mezzo-soprano. This expedition rapidly evolved into an impromptu recording session in her father’s basement. There was no question that she was perfect for the group when within 10 minutes of writing she had come up with the chorus line for the Team’s second hit “Double Elf Homicide.” Due to DPlit’s absence over the next few months and to diversify further, the notorious vocalist Chris D of the C-town Karaoke circuit was brought in for some work on the track “Tree Wushes” in April 2007. The Team somehow manages to take their music, lyrics and themselves as serious as any mainstream recording artist while relying heavily on their absurdist sense of humor for lyrical content with topics such as jelly fish battles, elf slaughters, huffing paint and Mongolian terror hawks. Now composed of a booking agent, a golfer/mechanic, a waitress/student and a Navy doctor, this re-energized Team Six is daring to push the boundaries of the mainstream by combining musical styles in unprecedented and questionable ways. When asked to comment rap star Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) said, “My rhymes are cheap and shallow; their’s are deep and full of meaning... I give a fuck about the Team.”
