NOTES:
... And back to the basement. This was done on Marc Farful's digital 8-track, with him on drums. It's our first recording with Searbahn, who did backup/gang shout vocals.

lyrics

LYRICS:
Head of the class
A grade A student
They call me "prim"
They call me "prudent"
In the chemistry lab doing extra credit
I couldn't figure it out
I just couldn't get it
I reached for my juice but it tasted strange
All of a sudden, I began to change
I actually drank my chemistry concoction
And ever since that day, I've been rockin'

I am no longer your favorite nerd
I'm now and forever --
Uncouth Youth

The formula gave me a brand new soul
One with Rock N' Roll
Uncouth Youth

Kicked out of school
And out of my home
Now like a wolf
I will roam
Goodbye Mom, I'll be late for supper
Maybe your son will die in a gutter
Or maybe he's found his special dream
A guitar, a keyboard and a Rock N' Roll Scream
Playin' everywhere, found myself a lady
Cut a quick demo
The label said "Maybe"

I am no longer your favorite nerd
I'm now and forever --
Uncouth Youth

The formula gave me a brand new soul
One with Rock N' Roll
Uncouth Youth

I am the fist that breaks through the wall
I am the one you call
Uncouth Youth

I am not Skippy from Family Ties
I am what you despise
Uncouth Youth

(Attitude-filled spoken word rant)

about

The KMX Band Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The KMX Band is the only Metal band in history to have a singer that almost always wears the same shirt. It is also the only band in the Philadelphia area in which a former drummer once urinated on the couch of another former drummer.
But perhaps more importantly, The KMX Band is the only Traditional Metal band in the world that will sing about robots, tigers, demons and chocolate. ... more
