6gig

6Gig was an American rock band from Portland, Maine. It is classified by reviewers as alternative rock and nu metal. They actively played at clubs and different locations throughout New England. They released two CDs and several singles, as well as a video for the song "Hit the Ground" that received airplay on MTV2. Before the release of "Mind Over Mind", the band parted ways with drummer Dave Rankin and was joined by drummer Jason Stewart. Shortly after this, Rankin was found dead from a mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol. "Hit the Ground" was 6Gig's biggest hit. It appeared on the National Lampoon's Van Wilder soundtrack, Ozzfest 2001 Summer Sampler and various compilation albums. On the 2005 album Beautiful Locals, released on Labor Day Records, a compilation album of cover songs from Maine bands and artists, Paranoid Social Club, another Maine rock band, covers "Hit The Ground". The original song was also featured as a clip of music in an episode of MTV's Pimp My Ride, and as a soundtrack tune on NHL Hitz 2002 for the Xbox and GameCube.
