Hollywood Undead

2 festivals played

Masked LA rap-rock six-piece with six vocalists and a knack for the shout-along that outlives the criticism — critic-proof and pit-approved.

Hollywood Undead formed in Los Angeles in 2005, initially circulating tracks online before signing to a major label. The group is known for its use of masks, for rotating multiple vocalists across a single song, and for a sound that moves between hip-hop verses, hard rock guitars and large sung choruses.

Their material spans party anthems and bleaker, more confessional songs, and the band has maintained a substantial audience across several albums despite a generally cool critical reception. The line-up has changed over the years, but the multi-vocalist format and the masked stage presentation have remained constant.
