\"\"<\/a>Beef Supreme – EP<\/strong>
\n Release Date: 2012<\/strong>
\n Highlights: none<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard some pretty ridiculous band names in my time. Raging Slab. Rhino Bucket. Killer Dwarves. All pretty ridiculous right? They all have ridiculous names but they are great bands with great songs. So what\u2019s the problem with getting some music from a band called Beef Supreme? Well, this wouldn’t be a problem at all if the songs weren\u2019t equally as bad as the name and their cute little shtick. Luckily this was only a four song EP because it took all I had to make it through this platter of boredom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beef Supreme is a self proclaimed \u201cstoner rock\u201d band from the Southwest that consists of guitarist and vocalist Niki Bel Grande, drummer Lou Chalupa, and bassist Macho Grande. Cute. I see what you did there with your clever combining of \u201cstoner rock\u201d and \u201cstoner food.\u201d According to their bio, Beef Supreme also \u201chas crafted a sound that is unique among metal bands today.\u201d Well, based on the four songs I just sat through, Beef Supreme does little to stand out whatsoever other than the fact that they are one of the least good bands I\u2019ve heard. It\u2019s hard to literally be \u201cunique to metal bands today\u201d when you have already categorized yourself into one of the most played out sub genre names of the past decade.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the honest truth here. Beef Supreme as musicians really don\u2019t suck. They can play their respective instruments pretty well and the EP was really well produced. Mistake #2. If you\u2019re going to proclaim yourself as \u201cstoner rock\u201d, at least try and not make it sound like an over produced Avenged Sevenfold album. The fact that these cats can play really doesn\u2019t make up for the fact that they really have no good songs. The songs are totally generic to the genre and completely forgettable. So forgettable in fact that the EP had finished playing for about 10 minutes before I realized it was over.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure Beef Supreme will appeal to someone but I\u2019m just not sure who. If anything, they may appeal to people who don\u2019t like real metal. In the same way that bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Korn call themselves \u201cmetal\u201d and appeal to that mallrat crowd, I feel that Beef Supreme will have this same appeal to those kids. These kids will listen to Beef Supreme and boast that they love \u201cstoner rock.\u201d Then they\u2019ll discover Kyuss, Captain Beyond, and Corrosion of Conformity and realize that Beef Supreme is just a mediocre band riding the coattails of a played out shtick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
