It's been over a year since the last News Vault Spotlight piece - sadly this column didn't quite take off like we had hoped. So to breathe new life into it, we here at the News Vault decided that the best course of action was to select candidates rather than wait for them to come to us! Additionally, instead of focusing entirely on indie filmmakers, we decided to expand our focus to include musicians/bands and artists whose creations either utilize, or invoke the spirit of Cult, Sci-Fi, Horror, Exploitation, and/or B-Cinema!
That all being said, please allow us to introduce you Vault Dwellers to a band you probably never heard of.....
THE B-MOVIE NEWS VAULT PRESENTS...
COHEN OVER COEN!
 |
| They've got the right STUFF! |
MINI BIOGRAPHY:
Cohen Over Coen is a side project of musician Tom Kerosec (of the band Kerosec and head of Kerosec Productions LLC), and Russell Hall (co-host of the (Re)Make Me Podcast). Their band focuses on making Horror movie-themed parodies of popular alternative rock tunes from the '90s. (The only exception being "You Doubt X-CaliBR8?" which uses Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" as the template.) Russell Hall writes the lyrics, Tom Kerosec performs the songs, and the results are incredibly satisfying!
