Anagram Of Oral Sex Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 According to ClickZ.com, the Burger King fast-food chain is launching and promoting its own teen-targeted metal group through both TV spots and a web site. The band is COQ ROQ. The gimmick: chicken masks and poultry-themed songs with names like "Bob Your Head" and "Cross the Road". Lyrics are sprinkled with references to BK's new chicken fries, which "rebel against convention," according to a company statement. The group's web site offers up a multimedia surround view of the branded band. Have-it-your-ways songs come in streaming, MP3 and mobile ringtone formats. Music video-style ads for the band will air on network and cable TV, including SpikeTV, MTV and VH1. A URL for the site appears at the end of the spots. The web site has profiles on the band members, who have names like Fowl Mouth and Free Range. It remains to be seen whether teens can learn to love a metal band that exists solely to promote fast food. If an early look at the site's message board's is an indication, prospects are slim for a large COQ ROQ fan base. Initial posts late Tuesday morning mostly consist of metal fans bashing Burger King for ripping off another band, SLIPKNOT, the mask-wearing metal group to whom COQ ROQ's members do bear a striking resemblance. An hour later, those comments had been removed by a moderator. Source: BlabbermouthHa! Though I will admit they look pretty kickass with those cool chicken masks on the TV commercial.

swlabr Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 The band is pretty kick ass, lol. Heard their stuff and the music isn't half bad. I like it Or might it be the fact that BK is 'sponsoring' them? Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
