Bee Movie The Band heavy on the guitar

What does Bee Movie The Band sound like?

You have three guitarists in the band, Iron Maiden/Molly Hatchet style. Are any of you guys closet metal heads by chance?

Courtney (sounds), no; Brett (drums), no; Tyler (guitar), no; Mike (bass), no; Eric (guitar, keys), yes; Brian (guitar, vocals), yes.

What are some of the best records to hone your air guitar chops to?

You guys have a YouTube video of yourselves disposing of a dead rodent, what else do you like to do for fun?
