So here is the dilemma: you are a huge Harry Potter fan but none of the music you listen to seems to ever sing about anything from the books OR the movies. What's up with that?!?
Well, problem solved! Yes, I still remember the first time I heard Wrock a few years ago. Wait, let me back up.
Wrock is how the cool kids (warning: definition of cool may vary by reader) refer to Wizard Rock. Now,I know we are all familiar with rapping Hobbits but this is totally different. Wrock bands focus their lyrics exclusively within the world of Harry Potter. Oh. Heck. Yeah.
There are many...many...many wrock bands, although the number that can be considered to actually play music that doesn't make your ear hole break is somewhat limited. You can explore wrock at the Wizrocklopedia, WizardRock, and Real Wizard Rock. You can even check out the monthly collection put out by the Wizard Rock EP of the Month Club.
As with any genre, there are standouts. Here are a three groups that I have been listening to for a while. No super fancy write up,just a video and a link. You have time for that, right?
Harry and the Potters
"Song for the Death Eaters"
Draco and the Malfoys
"My Dad is Rich (and Your Dad is Dead)"
Ministry of Magic
"Escape from Azkaban"
