How 'bout them boys(and girls): Skillet, who I used to listen to back in high school, had their latest album Comatose blow into the Top 200 in its first week, scanning almost 20,000 copies. I still don't have a copy where I work. [JFH]
I haven't really dug their later material, but damn if Tennessee duo Grits haven't carved out an impressive career for themselves over the last ten or twelve years - and their new album Redemption, coming out November 21st, bears guest appearances that in my humble opinion overshadow whatever grudge I may bear against Coffee and Bonafide themselves for veering towards the mainstream. Check this out: LA Symphony alums Pigeon John and bTwice appear, as well as Antonio Neal and Canibus. That's so dope I can barely contain myself within my epidermis. I may pay serious attention to this effort.
