    I really liked them!! :) Great riff on the first one, and I also utilised both male and female vocals in my band so I'm RIGHT into that! Great stuff........was it home recorded or studio?

    Cheers for the responses.

    The demo was recorded in a studio in the cotswalds in England.

    The second song (fond farewell) was originally sung by Andi, but his voice didn't really fit the song, so we thought we would try it with Emma singing and it just worked much better.

    I'll put up another song with Andi singing for you.

    i like em, espetialy the second one...it sounds loose but in a good way..its hard to describe.....but i really like it, the ale singers got a awsome voice, and the girl provides a nice contrast.

    Its our pop song, kind of addictive, but in a good way I like to think.

    The one thing I'm kind of surprised about is that no-ones mentioned the length of our songs, we normally get told our songs are too short, though we think they work at the length they are.

    I'll definately stay in touch and keep posting and I'll try and change some songs on myspace in time.

    I came up with the promise reason in a pub and I kind of had my own personal meaning behind it, presented the name to the rest of the band and everyone liked it, its very personal to us all as I think we all have different ideas as to what it means.

    That sounds crap, but I think you get what I'm saying.

    Due to drummer demand have changed Fond Farewell for Malformed Content, enjoy.
  • PJfaninmainePJfaninmaine Posts: 216
    simply awesome!
    loved all of them. Malformed Content reminded me of "Godsmack" a little bit because of the vocals. Folk off and die reminded me a little bit of "Down" for some reason think it was the intro.
    Keep up the good work, would love to hear more.
    If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different....I'd rather be completely fucking mental.

    The first one is pretty awesome--nice catchy riff, and great rhythm. The guitars remind me a lot of Rage Against the Machine, and that's definitely a good thing.

    normally. . .i would say who cares what the drummer wants. . . afterall he is just the drummer(what do you call someone who likes to hang out with musicians?. . .. . the drummer. . .lmao) however this time i would like to say maybe you should listen to the drummer more often. . . the song kicks ass the vocals are good and i dig that heavy ass intro(when the drums come in and the guitars get heavier)

    *fuck you. . .for what you have done to me . . .i never forgive a liar*
    thats just some deep shit

    Hello!

    Put a new song up on myspace (Irele), let me know what you think.

    I'm undecided on this song, so any feedback would be great.

    So, what were you called?
    erm george gary,
    no the band,
    ohh erm Hooray, here come the pearly kings
    I always thught a good name for a folk band would be, folk off and die folk head"

    Get the idea for that song of Men behaving badly? I love that program, sorry still trying to donwload your songs, or can you only play them through the site?

    I played and still play the guitar.
    Called 'The Promise Reason' (no surprises there)
    The full title of the song is 'Folk off and die you folking folk head'
    Love Men behaving badly but not from that.
    Can't download them only play them through the site, although (hopefully) we'll soon be selling copies of the EP for a very reasonable price.
    Also got a couple of pictures up now.

    Cheers

    i'm listening to it right now. . .
    i really like the coda part where it slow down in the middle
    "you wont be..."
    "my heroine"
    i like the gowly voice alot. . .
    reminds me of myself. . .

    bassist is really tight
    i think the song,musically, all in all could really be more heavy and distorted but the the vocals would sound great just the way they are. . .

    while i'm thinking of it. . .what kind of price do you pay for myspace and how did you get hooked up with them. . . i would love to get some of my songs online but my guitarist who is also our webmaster says our songs take too much space and would cost too much. . .

    I definately agree that song could be heavier, I think it could afford to be overly distorted.

    i really like your songs.

    although the folk of and die one sounds like Daytime Dillemma raping Hide Your Love Away (I still like the song, but since i know those other two songs it sounds kinda awkward)
