unbeatbox
a new unbeat record is in the works. not much known, yet, but the rumor is all casios, some driving digi001, some driving sampler pads, but mostly you'll hear a drummer and cheap casios through guitar amps. here's a leaked cover concept:

WFO album of covers - rumor
We have a list of songs under consideration, but while we're verifying its authenticity, we'll give you one tidbit: a black metal cover of Leonard Cohen. Now that we'd like to hear. Surely a first.

Guest appearances from The Unprofessionals are also rumored.
