Grunge making it's way into the Jewish Music scene?

The Forward (bugmenot.com) introduces you to Heedoosh, a new grunge-pop Jewish band that played to a sold-out crowd at The Triad. Let me see now...we have Matisyahu covering the reggae Jewish scene. We have Itzhak Nissim covering Jewish Rap. Heavy Metal is covered by Religious Jews like David Lazzar. One of the interesting things I uncovered was the following: This upcoming Yidstock which is mentioned in the article has a list of artsits which also include J Brazil. I'm thinking to myself.....wait a second! Is this Rabbi Brazil's (of Regesh fame) son? I had spoken to his brother and he did mention something to me about a year ago regading his brother working on some R&B, Rap/Hip-hop album but I never took it seriously. Well it seems it's to be released shortly.
The intersting thing is that although the website (JBrazil.com) doesn't list it as a parental advisory album, the picture (posted on the other site) does. I'm sure this isn't giving his father ( his mother unfortunately passed not too long ago) any partiular nachas. Oh well....
