Is this a joke band? Because it sounds like a joke band.

The Prophet of Dio Number of posts : 1348 Age : 29

Pssh, naw, we're real. Silly name, real band Razz

Edit: wait, did you mean the band as a group sounds like a joke, or the music, because if it's the latter, ouch Sad

It's definitely not the worst thing I've ever heard. And that's a complement.

the lead singer reminds me of that guy in the B-52's.

Your vocals would be great in those monster-mash type music, and I mean it in a good way.

The singing is a mixture of B52's and Richard Cheese.

Thank you all for the praise! Any constructive criticism on how we could make it better?

Mine wasn't praise.

Constructive criticism? Your lyrics rhyme, that's a start. Really, the fancy man-light in the loafers delivery of the vocals really underminds any progress you're making now. Either bury them in the mix or sound more aggressive. My 2 cents.

Theres definitely potential there.My constructive criticism would be to find a different vocal approach.The way you just talk the lyrics out sounds really annoying.Try singing or go for a more aggressive thrash type approach.Keep practicing and good luck to you guys.

Sounds fine to me.

If you go and listen to ANY 80's punk band (the Repo Man soundtrack immediately comes to mind), your band would fit right in...

I like it, send me a CD.

I see what you're saying, and I agree with you -- I really am not a fan of how I sing these songs. I'd rather them sound like the earlier demo (found here), but it was pretty hard on my voice. I'm looking to move into vocals more like Cryonic Temple, and I'm glad y'all agree that I need to switch Razz

Oh, and thanks Martinsane! Much appreciated Smile

I can hear the B-52 style voxs

I like it definitly need to polish the sound a bit but I like what I hear

Thanks, Addy! This is our first recording that we released to the public, so we're working on getting the sound better before a full-length.

They should do a cover of "Love Shack".

Well, the vocals are an aquired taste, but not necessarily something you should change all the much, maybe sing a bit more - the real issue, to me, is the mix - the vocals are WAY too up front, while the rest of the instrument sound like their miles away - the guitars should be up front, with the vocals - I realize these are just demo's, and probably not the way you want them to sound, but that's the biggest issue anyway, at least to me it is.

I agree, we need to work on the mix some. When we were mixing it the first time through, I think we turned down the guitars too much (because we thought it'd be loud enough since there are 2 guitarists). However, at some parts I can barely hear the second guitar, which is a problem. Thanks for the suggestions, Mglaffas!

And TroubleZone, Love Shack would be fun xD
