Stuff that pops, smokes, glugs, and possibly screeches really really quite loudly, like. Oh... and Scott Young, of course.
Sounds Like
That garage band down the street that you're always shouting at to turn down their music cause you're sick and tired of your wife telling you how she constantly gets off to the lead singers pro-feministic lyrics and angelic voice that was handed down through the gene pool from god knows where in some trailer park down in Monteago some 17 years ago today.
Or... uhh.. not like that at all.

It’s The Animal Nation Bio!
The Basics:
Animal Nation is: Steige “Tall Man” Turner, and Mike “Armadillo Slim” Armitage. Animal Nation formed in 2004 after a heated argument between the two not-then members, over the quality of another band’s performance.
The members of Animal Nation are hesitant to call their music ‘hip-hop’ because a lot of hip-hop sucks.
The members of Animal Nation think this is unfortunate because they really, really love good hip-hop, but know that the general population thinks that hip-hop sucks as well. Animal Nation is the greatest band you will ever hear.
After listening to Animal Nation it will henceforth be impossible to appreciate any other sort of music that is not Animal Nation. You’re life will be changed. You will win the next big lottery. Your hair will never thin and your skin never sag. Your children will never try drugs, because you never did, and therefore know that they have nothing to offer. Animal Nation. Your new neighbours, the three blonde Swedish girls that moved in next door, will invite you and your wife over for a ‘group massage’, and your wife will accept. Animal Nation. Animal Nation. Animal Nation.

The intellectual indie hip hop (intelledindiehop aka nutella.dinner.hop) duo known as Animal Nation first came together in 2004. The Story?
Steige "Tall Man" Turner was going through a not-so-brief faze of "dream-waking". A condition in which the sufferer absolutely cannot tell the difference between being awake and being asleep, usually brought on by stress or lack of sex. The now-well-received "Tall Man LP", which had already been pressed in Turner's dream state, was just a vision yet to be constructed in the real reality known as now. During one of Turner's earlier dreams he envisioned himself in a land much like the Disney rendition of Robin Hood: a land of walking, talking, interacting animals of all sorts living just like humans, with humans. Though not necessarily a strict devotee of the Science religion, Turner did believe in the theory of evolution, and the fact that humans and animals alike are exactly that: animals. The concept was born.
The touring that followed the actual release of the Tall Man LP brought on even more stress for Turner, which, in turn, led to worse and worse episodes of dream-waking. The plus side of the paranormal dreaming was that Steige seemed to have gained a sense of awakening and seemed to be able to almost tell what was to come. (He actually estimated the exact amount of CDs sold on the Tall Man tour five months before recording had even started on this album!) This was why it was no surprise to him when he first met Mike "Armadillo Slim" Armitage on tour.
Another band had just finished a set, and Steige, who thought the act was "absolutely out of this world", couldnt help overhearing somebody ranting to anybody and everybody that "that was the worst piece of shit Ive ever heard! I could make better music with my eyes closed, underwater!" Steige couldnt help but confront the gentleman and ask the man why he thought that. The two exchanged words for nearly four hours. Steige eventually asked him if he had actually tried making music before. As if on cue, Slim pulled out a CD and a thick black marker and wrote across the cover: "Get Bent", along with his phone number. Even before having a listen Steige knew that Armadillo Slim was to be the other half of Animal Nation... I mean, hes a fricken armadillo for Pete's sake!
