    Your opinions on my band

    My band currently just finished our latest CD entitled "Blood & Aphorisms". It's rock music of the likes of incubus and fuel but really sounds nothing like those bands. Hard to describe. I figure I would post here and ask you guys what you think. Head over to:

    and click on the music section to hear some mp3s =)
    Feel free to be brutally honest if you want, i enjoy all sorts of constructive criticism. Thanks!

    Interesting music

    Just Downloaded your sample tracks...

    Listened to Break Blossom!
    Great intro - rest of track over all great I will listen to it again.(need better quality Mp3!)

    Listened to A Fighting Word...
    Ok track, I might put it on one of my lower playlists, I personally don't listen to songs of this nature!

    Keep up the good work! Every band has to start with something!

    Hehe, well im not sure if I should take that as a compliement, we've been together 3 years! =)

    The Bitrate on that was 128 - The quality might sound weird because we were going for a real different sound for the guitars, it might take some getting used to.

    Thanks for the response, keep em comin!

    Sounds good. I really like Break Blossom. It's earned its way onto my next mix CD for the car ( I know, terrible to still use cds )

    Both songs sound great. Both files sounded prefectly fine on my computer. I did prefer "Break Blossom" over "A Fighting Word" Has your band received radio air play?

    Downloaded both. It's good, but not my style so I stopped both tracks at about 50%.

    Not yet, not of the new stuff. We got some airplay on some local stations here and on some internet radio sites. Other than that I think this Russian Station emailed us for A CD and have us in regular rotation.

    There were both good but I liked "Break Blossom more then "A Fighting Word." Make sure you submit your demo to XM radio's Unsigned channel http://www.xmradio.com/programming/c...page.jsp?ch=52

    You're an ***. It's called talent, not singing like a girl. They are a "tight" band in both the slang/figurative and litteral sense. They have good chemestry together. This is coming for a former singer/guitar player for a band that's been together for a few years, but we broke up.

    A fighting world is a good song, even though the begininig is a bit intimate, but aren't most songs on the radio? 80% of songs wrtten are love songs. Break Blossom is cool. The quality is fine. Good work guys!
