Dead Man's Bones

At first glance it seems the Los Angeles duo Dead Man's Bones could either be a Misfits or Alkaline Trio knockoff. Then, without even listening, you see their influences listed as "Disney Haunted Mansion, Doo Wop, and 60s Girl Groups, and you really have to second guess what they could be.

Turns out their influences are pretty much accurate, as listening to their single "My Body's a Zombie for You," somehow makes me picture Elvis crooning inside a mansion haunted by children. And somehow this is a really good thing because I love this song and look forward to hearing more from these guys.

So check them out at their myspace, HERE. You'll be greeted by a creepy video promoting their forthcoming album, which is actually worth watching before playing their single.

It's probably also worth mentioning that the lead singer and producer/brainchild of Dead Man's Bones is actor Ryan Gosling, which I think makes this project all the more weird.
