Trying to take over the world, the Switchblade Cobras have been secretly training in the art of rock, and or roll, in an unidentified location in the Utah deserts. "Should we be afraid?" you may ask. The answer is simple. Maybe.
While we may not know much about them at this time we do know that they do play "Electric Guitar". Not just any kind, but the kind that has been known to rip out a brain and splatter it all over the wall. The kind that screams so loud it has, and will be again, used as a WMD.
Then there is "The Bass". Now this is no ordinary bass. This is the kind of bass sound that will make even the most uptight of the human persuasion feel a lil' something in their pants as their head explodes, and they'll wish they could crawl back into their mother's womb just to take a little nap.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap tap tap tap. "The Drums", that will knock you off your feet, tearing away all your inhibitions untill you're standing there like a naked stranger in a land not far from your own mind, yet so far from a reality that you've never known, that you'll need to tap, you'll need to clap, you'll need to stomp, you'll need to chomp, you'll need to fly, you'll need to cry, you'll need, you need, you need, you need TO RUN !!!!
