Crunk Metal Radio is pleased to present this week's 10 essential tunes. For those who have forgotten, the format is as follows… 8 songs, some new, some old, which are worth checking out, a guilty pleasure, and one song so laughably bad that you have to hear it just to cry tears of joy as you laugh at the poor pitiful "artist" who put out the shitty song… Anyway on to the picks…

Essentials:

1. Framing Hanley–Hear Me Now Tennessee is known for country, but this song should prove once and for all that Nashville rocks hard too.…

That's a good question, my fellow listener. While there are no Crunk Metal radio stations (yet), the genre is picking up steam every day. Very simply, crunk metal is a wide-ranging super-genre that encapsulates many of the elements of music that we all love so dearly.
If you're anythink like the typical CM listener, you really appreciate rock and metal, bands like Linkin Park, Atreyu, and Avenged Sevenfold. However, deep inside of you, there is a part of you that has guilty pleasures, real genuine shit like Kelly Clarkson or Miley Cyrus and her inescapable hit See…

Several bands that I really like have not released new material in awhile.
First, I really want to see a new cd from Chronic Future. They have some demos from a new album up, and I hope that they actually make a full new cd. They are one of the most original bands in alternative rock/rap today, and I want to see how their evolution continues two years after their last cd.

I understand that many people here hate Linkin Park but I really do like their work (except the not-so-good reanimation cd.) and I hope that they will…

One of my favorite bands has finally come out with some new music. Chronic Future has some new demos up on their website.http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=2209867. They have three links to new songs up now, and they will be switching those out with new songs occasionally. Check these out, they are really good, and they are only demos, so they should sound better on their next album!

EDIT: So far, my favorite of the new songs is I Go So Slow.
