Southern Born Killers is an album by Stuck Mojo. The entire album was released for free in 2006, and is best known for containing the controversial song "Open Season". The album had originally been recorded in 2005 with original lead singer Bonz. However, due to personal problems between him and lead guitarist, Rich Ward, Bonz was forced to step down and was replaced by friend, Lord Nelson. The album was then re-recorded in 2006, and released later that year as both an actual CD and as a free download. The CD is currently only available as an internet order, however the band has plans to license the album to different distributors while touring.

[edit] Controversy

Stuck Mojo stirred a major controversy when they released the video of Open Season on YouTube, which had over 200,000 views.[1] Initially, the large number of views on YouTube put the video on the "Most Viewed" video charts on the service. The Youtube administrators then apparently blocked the video from appearing in the "Most Viewed" listings despite the viewing statistics.^[1] The blogosphere picked this up, and a mixed reaction of condemnation^{[citation needed]} and support^[2] for the video, song and Stuck Mojo took off. Band leader and guitarist, Rich Ward, appeared as a guest on Fox News to discuss the video and the band's perceived anti-Islamist stance.^{[citation needed]} The widely popular web site, iFilm.com, recently banned the video.^{[citation needed]}

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has complained to the US government about the release of the video.^{[citation needed]}
