   About My Parents Favorite Music
Based out of a small Michigan Suburb town named Swartz Creek, My Parents Favorite Music (or MPFM for short) is the brainchild of a brainless 24 year-old child named Steffen Messinger. Started back in mid to late 2000 as an entry for a high school battle of the bands, the group comprised of Steffen along with help of his close friend Matt Steller and a small-town band. After the first show tanked, the band did the best thing they could do without getting courts involved by going their own separate ways, thus leaving Matt and Steffen. Being the computer whiz creative geniuses they were, they decided that a band wasn't necessary, what with all of today's technology in the music industry. So in January of 2002 they made their first album entitled "©®@~Z Mystery". The album generated small-town buzz and sold pretty well within the next couple of years. Collaborations with other small town bands including the "Epidemic Munkies" also helped solidify the status of the group. Within the success of selling albums out of a trunk, and word spreading, the two started working their second album. With the help of good friend and studio owner Luke Avery they worked day and night, beer and coffee for the next year to perfect every detail as to please their unique blend of fans. Released in 2004 the "Wheel O' Ex-Girlfriends" was follow-up that proved to be good for old and new fans alike. With clips from well known cartoons, video games, and music from all over the spectrum, the group had a sound of its own. And with exceptional rhythm and rhyming techniques combined with ideas like remaking the classic 90's rapper Skeelo song "I wish" and entitling said song "Just Try and Sue Us", there wasn't a skeptic out there that couldn't laugh along to the childish-goofy beat. In 2005 Matt graduated from college at the University of Michigan and is now residing in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he is the head IT department internal pin-capture programming specialist. That didn't keep him from doing what he loves best though. He went on to being the producer/co writer for many of the songs from the upcoming 2007 album "Testing the Waters" and intends to be part of MPFM for the days to come. Steffen relocated to Knoxville, TN and is currently working on the final touches for the new album Relentless in his pursuit to give video game inspired punk rap to the masses, or even just the small town arcades, be assured he knows where you live, and all your basement are belong to us.

Excellent news! I just placed my order for your very expensive sticker. I can't wait! I could stick it to my wall! Or to my Xbox 360! Or to a homeless guy! The possibilities are endless!

Oh, and I guess I'm excited to get that bonus CD with it too. :P

Now hurry up and release Testing The Waters so I can spend my money on that too.

Yeah that cover song was awsome, but I love your original work too.
In fact as soon as I get some money in my checking account I'm going to order that awsome sticker, and I'll probably enjoy the free CD a bit too! ;P

Nice timing. :o)

sry to say but it seems your music is rather polar, either people like it or hate it, and for the most part my friends hate it...

but i still love it, looking forward to the new cd :)

What's good, Steffen? Thanks for the add - I appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed my musical creations. Speaking of which, I'm listening to them right now. I honestly love your style. From those classic NES instrumentals to your creative lyrics, you nailed it! I enjoyed "Testing The Waters Sampler" and "Mountain Sickness." Keep up the good work. And yes, we will definitely collab together. Right now, I'm in the process of upgrading my musical equipments. So I will take a break from making music for a while. In the meantime, you keep up the good work. One.

By the way, it's cool you've met Adam Sessler.
