This song is brought to you by Taco Bell

Taco Bell "supports" every year about 100 bands with their marketing strategy called "Feed the Beat".

Some carefully-selected bands get - according to an article in a german fanzine - 500 Dollar for fast-food during their tours, and after their concerts; marketing support included. More than 500 Bands applied for this special support service.

Taco Bell chose their favourites on the basis of a band's performance and musicianship, originality and material selection, and overall appeal and personality. Anyway, when you have a look at the list, it will also seem strange to you, that their are only well-known bands on the list, who could proudly refuse free and unhealthy fast-food (with very low production costs ... ) after their concerts.

Apparently, for some reason bands like Atreyu, Bouncing Souls, Less Than Jake, Story of a Year, Municipal Waste, or The All-American Rejects need such advertising-support, and the Taco Bell leadership gloats due to that very cheap and effective marketing concept.

Amusingly, also vegetarian bands like Strike Anywhere found their names on the list.

All the Best, your Fast-Food Mafia.
