That's right! I had my first studio sessions this weekend. So my band finally has some decent sounding songs. I'd love to hear what you all have to say about them.

So, head out to http://www.myspace.com/thewage and the first song you will hear once you enter the site is payback and the lyrics are here:

http://thewage.no.sapo.pt/payback.html

Then, click on the second song which is called Killin' on my mind whose lyrics are here:

http://thewage.no.sapo.pt/killin.html

And finally, click on the third song which is called Dark night slashed in blood and the lyrics for that one are here:

http://thewage.no.sapo.pt/dark.html

I won't tell you what I play so you won't be biased but please be honest!

Thanks!

    Wicked. You guys keep it simple and so your music is great.

    The style of singing reminds me Jack White, but more punky. Although not at all in Dark night...

    Kinda Vines like in the other 2 songs. Maybe more vines like than Jack Whitish.

    Excellent stuff though. I like it.

    It's good.
    I would work on trying to get a bit of a tighter sound.
    I'm geussing you had limited studio time, but you can hear the drummer making a minor screw-up at about 38 seconds in the first song.

    It stopped working right as I'm writing this, so I've only heard part of the first song.... I'll see if I can get it too work again.

    Really reminds me of The Pixies...specially song 1. Really good stuff though. The vocals might need a little work.

    Mark Arm deluxe! reminds one of early Green River - Mudhoney, which is great... throw in a little more overall reverb and you won't even need Jack Endino anymore ;)

    following up on my previous post, I got the others to work, and I really like it... the songs are all good and all different.

    the one spot I was talking about is @ 38 seconds during "Payback," it sounds like a minor drum slip-up.

    The stuff is really good, though... let me know if you get more stuff done.
    I like the singing btw.

    It´s possible there´s a slip-up.... we recorded it all first take so there were some mistakes left. When we have some more money we´ll buy studio time and spend some more time recording each song.

    We´ll probably upload other songs to that same webspace in the nearby future... keep a eye on that myspace webpage! ;)

    Thanks for all the kind coments...

    By the way, I´m the guitar player in the band... and yes I´m a Mudhoney fan, unlike the others in the band :)

    Very cool ... great vocals and a nice, loud, fleshed-out sound.

    For those who liked them, for those who didn't and for those who didn't listen to them, we've added a new song called "Boys don't cry". It's a lot different from the other three (a lot softer). So if you're interested, give it a listen and don't forget to let us know your opinion!

    Thanks!

    The song I like the least, as currently recorded, is the song that seems best performed live Dark Night Slashed In Blood. Simply because you've left a lot of room on this song to be performed acoustically, full out metal or rock.

    Maybe it's just me. But you start out dreary and it's cool because there's a little anticipation as to where the song is going to go. Then nothing, you kind of just keep the same vocal level so it sounds like your reading while singing until you get toward the end of the paragraphs. I say paragraphs because there seems to be no clear break in your chorus.

    Then your guitartist kicks in, and again, there's an anticipation that the song is going to kick ass. Yet you lead in on the second paragraph again in that monotone pitich. However, you can clearly hear your voice starting to guide the song towards a strong finish, your pitch is strong, it's pulling out the sound it the words. Listen to your pitch as you lead in to sing blood/flood towards the end, you feel it, your bands there, its nice.

    What you did on this song was
    --sing a paragraph
    --let the guitartist carry the break
    --sing a paragraph
    --let the guitartist carry the break
    --sing a paragraph
    --let the guitartist carry the break

    which acoustically this would be nice.

    Live, you can make this song what you want. So to me, regardless, of how you've recorded, it's definitely a good live show song.

    Well, thanks for everyone's opinions on our songs. We'll keep working on it and we'll keep you posted when we upload some new songs.

    I don't think I could tell you the name of or sing part of a Vines song. If I heard one on the radio I don't think I would recognize it but thanks anyway.
