So there's this band in the Lansing, Michigan area (where I live) that's starting to get kind of popular on the local scene.  Their I Eat Glue ('cept they just go by IEG now, I think it's their official name actually).  They fuse together Hip-Hop/Rap with a Pop Punk sound a la Whole Wheat Bread, Gym Class Heroes.  They're about to drop their debut full length later this month.  Check 'em out and tell me what you think.

By the way, they've played with the likes of June, Houston Calls, Scary Kids Scaring Kids so far in their careers.
