Considered by many to be fairly polarizing, Hollywood Undead got their start writing rap songs about [[EmoTeen Emo Teens]] and posting them on {{MySpace}}. After gaining a following, the band's founders decided to officially form a band with anyone who happened to be in the room at the time, no, seriously. The band was the first act signed to [=MySpace=] Records, then switched over to A&M/Octone Records, where they released their first album, ''Swan Songs'', in 2008, which had a mostly HipHop-oriented sound with a few rock songs. This was followed by a live album mostly consisting of songs from their debut and a few covers (including LedZeppelin and MotleyCrue).
