Perhaps it's because they base themselves out of the relatively low-key music scene of Madison, Wisc., but Droids Attack don't seem too concerned with adhering to any sort of standard that their more famous peers may have established. While their music is seriously crushing, as demonstrated on their new album 'Must Destroy,' they don't take themselves all too seriously -- evidenced be their droid

During Mastodon's recent tour with Dethklock, Converge and High on Fire, rhythm guitarist Bill Kelliher had a little bit to say about the band and its new album. Talking about the band's namesake, which for them had more to do with 'Star Wars' than 'Lord of the Rings,' it turns out their first run of shirts were misspelled and probably make a fine collector's item...
