It was bound to happen: two all-American white boys trying their hand at breaking it down. 30H!3 may seem like a joke, what with the incompatible gangster lyrics combined with a wannabe indie-electro image, but the twosome has managed to go platinum in the US. Twice.

The album is not what the older generation would call music. ?Hey yeah, shake-shake your ass now, I?m-a hit you from the back and make you holler ?til you pass out? is hardly what you would call lyrically sound. But the Colorado-based duo, comprised of Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte, have got fans dancing their way straight to music stores worldwide.

Their first single, ?Don?t Trust Me,? hit the 2 million mark in sales last year and has been played over 84 million times on MySpace. Yes, you read correctly. 84 million times. This all despite the fact that the 12-track album is a mere 38 minutes long.

The second single, ?Starstrukk? is worth no more than a ?skip? on your frontloader - a cheesy high school/varsity-type track that requires a house party and copious amounts of dodgy alcohol before it can actually be enjoyed. While ?Don?t Trust Me? was catchy and fun, the rest of Want is lacking. Their attempt to imitate the likes of talented rappers like DMX and Lil? Jon is annoying, especially while they insist on trying to maintain their faux indie personas. The combination of electro beats, house breaks and synths simply doesn?t work with wannabe rapping.

Despite the lack of musicality, there?s no doubt that 30H!3 will stay popular, for a while that is, until the next big thing comes along. As with other pop-gone-skinny-jean-bands like Metro Station, 30H!3 is, in the end, nothing more than transparent.
