VOTD: Don’t Stop the Sandman by Rock Sugar
By Travis Woods
Oh my God… Because cruising around in a Trans-Am littered with Hardees wrappers, crinkled pictures of you ex and dog-eared copies of Metal Hammer is, well, bitchin’, L.A. metal mashup band Rock Sugar has crafted the soundtrack to your aimless drives up and down PCH as you reminisce about high school. Their “Don’t Stop the Sandman” is a merging of the rock of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” and the sugary cheese-pop of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.” “Because rock pops.” Get it?
In addition to crafting a hilarious band history on their website, Rock Sugar has also recorded a debut, Reimaginator, of blisteringly amazing rock/pop mashups such as “We Will Kickstart Your Rhapsody, “I Love Sugar on Me,” and “Dreaming of a Whole Lotta Breakfast.” Really… there are no words. You have to hear this to believe it.
