Don’t you just love the names of these songs? “What’s Up Doc?” and “Don’t Taser Me Bro!” stick out like sore thumbs. You’ve got to love the originality these guys have. Many people might find it ridiculous for the group to give a way music for free, but in a way that’s smart marketing. They’ve managed to develop a strong fan base, that loves them so much they’d be willing to pay to see them live, and everyone in the industry knows that’s where the real money comes from.
