My band's demo is out! (The Boys and Crash)

voh · Sun 06/09/2009 22:33:05

We've been working on it for a long while, and we're finally ready to release it out onto the wild, wild internet!

Those of you on my twitter follow list have already seen me spam it, but for those who aren't on it, here's a link!

Share the hell out of it if you want, just let me know what you think

We decided just before starting the recording process to throw around the song list for the demo, but I'm happy that Needs Duct Tape is still on there. It is a rather strong song (if I do say so myself) and the second song that came out of this band (I think it was the third rehearsal session, over two years ago

).

Thanks in advance!

Can't listen at the moment, but is the name a Scott Pilgrim reference? If so, I'm so listening.

Nice, added you guys on myspace.

EDIT: Actually, nevermind, we were already friends on myspace somehow... Haha.

Yep, the included front artwork has a photo of all of us reading Scott Pilgrim, actually

arj0n: Thanks!

dkh: Hah, myspaceis starting to become the 'forgotten' social site, especially for casual users. Thanks for making sure we were buddies though

Nice, sounds good, voh! Thank god there is still some new band out there who isn't indie or pop/punk! Also, the vocalist is whacked... in a good way. Keep up the good work and good luck!

Thanks, man. Yeah, the vocalist has a slightly different voice than people seem to expect, but I really like that about him. He's got that bluesy thing going on, and it adds that unique layer to otherwise fairly straightforward punkrock.

By the way - this demo was recorded for exactly 0 EUR, in a one-room apartment, with free software (one open source, one on a 7-day trial) and a birthday present (the line6 toneport).

How DIY d'you want it?

Awesome. And yet it doesn't sound like it was made like that. It actually sounds like a really good demo. Good job!
