I am looking for a song somewhere around half way through the movie that sounds like the Beastie Boys. I checked out the soundtrack but no beastie boys on there.  
Anyone have any ideas of who it is??

Thanks

Is this the original hit version or a remake? John “Speedy” Keen was the singer on the original, but that record was credited to Thunderclap Newman, not John Keen.

Well, i found one of the songs. Its by Overseer, called Slayed.

Now that I have found that one, I found another song that i liked, it was more chilling acoustic ish sounding. Heard teh words ‘adelaide’ in there (i think)  
Any ideas???
