Unk! was formed in 2001 by a Rocker, a Metalhead and a Punk who wanted to try their hands at something different: Dance Music. As their project's name they chose Unk! (that's with the exclamation mark). It's an onomatopeia of a single bass drum beat and not an abbreviation of soms sort. Up until now (2007) we have recorded two full albums and two video clips (and a third underway), one of which is an animated video that was made by ourselves. Since we were aware that our music was too much out there to ever get a decent record deal, we decided to make all our songs available for free instead. Whoever wants the albums, can get them via our website. The music of Unk! is based on Dance rhythms and electronic sounds and samples from the world of Techno, Trance, etc... These rhythms are computer programmed, as is the custom in most Dance genres. We called the music 'Dance Metal', since nearly all of our songs use distorted guitar riffs that come from the realm of Heavy Rock and Heavy Metal. For us this 'Metal' aspect is an option, though, and not an absolute must. Some songs are not as 'Metal' as others. That's why we also call some of the songs 'Electro Dance Rock'. Don't ask us what songs are Dance Metal and what songs are Electro Dance Rock. Just download Unk!'s songs and decide for yourself . The songs are no pure dance tracks. Although your average Unk! track is extremely danceable, most of them are structured like real songs, including the known "matrix" of verses and choruses you also get in your average Pop, Rock or Metal composition. All in all, this means that Unk! music is meant to draw you to the dance floor, that it's purpose is to energize you and make you feel good, but that you can also simply listen to it while you are working, and sing along the lyrics.
