Your thoughts and feelings
For several months a friend and I have been practicing and writing songs whilst looking for some band members to go gigging with. We're sick and tired of the wait so we are looking to do some shows acoustic in the near future. But before we go out and make complete fools of ourselves I thought I would preview some tracks here and try to get some sense of what yu are all feeling.
We are also struggling for a name so any suggestions would be appreciated. As of today we (or at least our Myspace) is going by the name of 'tales of woe!'
Obligatory Myspace link: www.myspace.com/talesofwoe
Not to break convention, being a Myspace band we are shit and have the demos to prove it!

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
I've listened to "Darkside of the moon" - I quite like it but the quality is a little poor. I'll listen to some others and probably advertise you on my myspace!

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
The song didn't quite catch me, but it's not all that bad anyway. Is it you singing? The voice is a bit low at times, might be the sound quality?

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
I added you in my band's myspace also!
I like your music, it's sounds 90ish and depressing, it's great! I think the quality will be better if you guys use acoustic guitars.

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
I checked the one song and it actually sounds cool.
It is kind of idiotic to make comments on the quality since we KNOW you didn't record in a million dollar studio with a $10,000 mic.
Good job dude.

Quiet. He should also work on his voice, but I guess that comes with time.

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
critique :
terrible recording ... but congratualations for not getting any reverb ( that sqeally noise )
sounds like hes standing too far back from a bad mike periodically, tell him to stand still when your recording, especially on dark side of the moon.
hes not a bad singer, hes not out of tune, but he cant hold a note for long, but that comes with practise, and breathing techniques, a couple of lessons would teach him that stuff.
overall very good :-)

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
The instrumental part is really basic and uninteresting in itself. The result of this is that pretty much all of the song's impact is going to be carried by the singing. This style of music doesnt really seem suited to your band, given that the singer isnt very good. You dont necessarily have to have a great voice to sing in a band, but you do when the vocals are the main part of the tracks.
If youre not going to change the vocalist or get him lessons, I think you should make the instrumentation more interesting and put the singing lower down in the mix so that the songs arent primarilly about him.

Re: Your thoughts and feelings
you should also just do covers of songs everyone knows and loves because no one likes listening to local bands playing their own local songs.
