Media Screamers

From Omnictionary

During the summer before the junior year of Brett Bretterson and Jimmy "Rockman" Ellis, on a particularly hot day while the dynamic duo was sitting under a tree doing their best not to die, they were approached by Taylor Greene an older girl whom they remembered was in their class for reasons at that point mostly unknown. Taylor offered them "The chance of a lifetime," and the two boys, who had nothing better to do that day, decided to take the chance.

That chance turned out to be the wildly successful (for a high school garage band) Media Screamers. Despite the hardcore name, the Media Screamers are not necessarily a rock band. Rather they are a band that plays whatever they feel like playing when they hang out. This includes when they perform for a live audience and when they are "in the studio" recording CDs to sell at school. They have no fixed form, style, genre, or plan. They meet when they can, make music as they can, and go home when they are done.

Media Screamers averages about $300 a month in CD sales. They tend to spend more than that working on instruments, buying comics, and creating the CDs.
