Good Music - Richard Cheese

Alright, I am starting a new feature for the website called Good Music. This feature will introduce you to some obscure bands or musicians that I enjoy listening to, and recommend to anyone.

For the first installment, the featured musician is none other than the amazing Richard Cheese.

Richard Cheese and his band, Lounge Against the Machine perform lounge-style covers of popular Rock and Rap songs, adding humor to the songs on occasion.

Some popular songs that have been performed by Richard Cheese are Disturbed’s Down With The Sickness, System of a Down’s Chop Suey, Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall, and Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven.
