New tracks from my band, free download

[Virtual Kevorkian]

My band just released some new songs that we've finish this summer. A bit different from the previous album, definitely less poppy and polished.

Gtrs were JB w/250k pot -> Tiny Terror -> Mesa 4x12.


We've also made the previous album available as a free download, so feel free to snag that as well if you hadn't already!

I grew up, started liking other things. I don't identify with metal like I used to. I don't identify with *anything* like I used to.

I remember you too as the deadskinslayer kid who was only into the brewtal stuff so I expected some heavy metal. Surprised me when the singer started singing. Excellent! Kinda reminds me a bit of Goldfinger. Good to see that there's still bands making punkrock the right way!

Much appreciated especially coming from you, Wattage!

That rules. Totally off the metal bandwagon, really really into pop punk and a few select metal bands these days. I think we're a bit young to be really influenced Goldfinger but I like the comparison, might have to listen to more of their stuff!

Yeah, if you're not into NFG, Yellowcard, etc... you really won't


The other guitarist and I have been demoing material slowly but surely while I've been abroad, and so far it's all been stuff I really can't wait to share. A bit more similar to the album than to the LP but more mature and well constructed, I'd say. I think we're going to try to do another full length next summer, but we'll see.

I like this a lot, man. Great song, really great playing and writing. You've always posted stuff I dug, whether it was metal, punky, poppy. Some guys just "get it" when it comes to music. That would be you.

By the way, what prompted the move to Ireland?

Re: New tracks from my band, free download

Been listening to this stuff since it was posted. Damn good stuff. The only thing I can nitpick is that it sounds just a wee bit safe. I feel like it could benefit from a more violent sound, and/or slightly more ambitious arrangements. At first, I wasn't really into the singing, but it grew on me. The production is enviably top-notch. Digging the songwriting, especially on Piss Water Beer. All in all, it's really good.
Looking forward to more music man.
Rock on, keep it up, stay awesome, etc.

Thanks, I really appreciate you saying that. I do want to make it clear that I'm not 100% done with metal and still have a lot of stuff kicking around - if/when (when is probably the key term here) I get around to releasing an EP of sorts, it will be done right, though - real drummer, lots of time spent with a proper vocalist hammering out parts that really fit/enhance the songs and don't just 'go over the top' like most modern metal, that sort of thing. I'm guessing it's at least a year out, but I'd say it's 60% written.

Not in Ireland permanently, studying abroad for the term. I was bitten by the travel bug back in 2008 when I did an exchange program in Germany and have been dying to spend a prolonged period of time in the EU ever since. Picked Ireland as it was a place I'd not been before and I've got the typical 'plastic paddy' American-Irish heritage going on - it's been cool seeing shops with my last name all over them for the first time, at least!

I agree with the 'safe' comment, although I think we were aiming for direct, raw, and no pussyfooting rather than being safe. It came out sounding a bit like we didn't experiment much, but I think it was more a matter of us just sitting down and deciding exactly what we wanted to put out and not beating around the bush, so to speak.

I'm not really happy with the mix on the newer stuff, looking back (YDK in particular) - I think I made it too raw and too ratty/pissed off, and lost some power in the process. Oh well - live and learn.

Glad you like PWB, that's probably my favorite song we've done. Really just the product of sending our singer way up into northern California for college, coming back around 7 months later and realizing our sound was asking for a bit of a change. I don't think this band's sound will ever stay in one place for long, though.

Musically it's solid as hell although it's not something I have in my playlist. The singer has range but he left me itching for a baritone voice. That said, I don't hate it. In fact I listened to the songs all the way through. Despite what you may think of me, I think you're a good guitar player and a skilled engineer and if we ever met I'd want to chat with you over a pint.
