Thank you so much for all of your feedback and support! I showed the thread to my bandmates and they really appreciated what you guys had to say.
patysTop notch stuff, I immediately send the link to my friend, who is into emo/screamo too. I hope you will manage to organise yourself some gigs and go on a small tour around the country, as I have done a couple of 3-5days ones with my band and it was one of the best experiences in my life :) We're doing more sludgy stuff tho.
[edit] my comment was seen as hijacking, but really, people who are into DIY emo/hardcore stuff simply LOVE exchanging experiences, each other's bands etc. People who are on tftv apparently not :d
Dude post your stuff! I'd love to hear it. We plan on doing some shows actually once our setlist gets a little longer.
fishy-linluv!!!
who did the cover art?
One of my bandmates has a friend who did it for us. I know absolutely nothing about her so I don't know if she would appreciate me posting her name here.
eeereal talk tho u kind've have to look at it as like an abrasive instrument rather than just a set of lyrics and it creates a different picture imo. Like on this album the production and tuning are all rather upbeat and happyish, while the vocals create a sort of foil that plays against it. It makes it more interesting imo but I can see where people who prefer more unified or cohesive soundscapes would be put off
That was some really good feedback. For the most part the instrumentals are just a bunch of random progressions and riffs we smashed together so we could call it a song which I think played a big part in creating a disconnect between the lyrics and the music. We're definitely gonna keep what you said about having a cohesive soundscape in mind.
