That's fickin' ace!! Hog, is much of his other music like this? Andy

haha, sorry wee man. See post just above yours, we're all outa spaces. But I'm sure you'll get a band. If you've been playing 7 years, you must be pretty damn good. I'm sure you'll get something Andy

Ok, well I think the band finally has its final line-up! We have 4 songs nearly finished, and more on the way, so I think we should be hitting the stage sometime relatively soon! Line-up as follows: Mel (Hardcore Mel) - Vocals Andy (YouthGoneWild) - Guitars Scott (Sl4sh) - Guitars Chris (Johnny Lucifer) - Bass / Vocals Iain - Drums Andy xx

Don't hate them, just think they're decidedly average. I wouldn't say listening to them particularly offends me, I just wouldn't go out of my way to do so Andy

Haha, cheesy tae fuck! But I like it! The songs are catchy, and I could definately see you guys as being a great live band. Andy

Nope sorry guys, this one is not any better than the last one. What was that song that began with a "V"? It was actually a decent wee tune. The chorus to Post Cards is quite catchy as well, but the new stuff just hasna impressed me at all. Sorry guys Andy

Hi, I'm really in the market for an SG at the moment. Ideally I'd really like a Tokai, but I know finding one on here might be a little unrealistic. Just basically want an idea of what everyone has to offer? If you have an SG of any make, and are willing to sell, slap up the details for me to have a look, cheers (Also willing to do a swap perhaps for a 400 Yamaha I never use - complete with official hard case) Andy

Well I have to say I quite enjoy a good few of the local bands. I like to attend gigs when I can, which isn't as often as I'd like, cause I'm usually skint. I think there are some decent new bands up and coming, I was particularly impressed with Kenetic. Not my usual cup of tea, but I actually intend to buy the EP if / when it's released. My Minds Weapon's music really isn't my thing at all, but it's quite easy to appreciate the MMW are absolutely fantastic at what they do. The Weapon lads IMO outstrip a lot of bands in their genre, which you see polluting the music waves on the radio and tv. I don't wander into random gigs very often, but the last one I saw, was Radio Lucifer & Dear John. Obivously, I know Lucifer and think they're a fantastic local band (I've never walked away from a show disappointed yet), but I'd never heard of Dear John. I have to say by the time Dear John had finished their set, I was suitably impressed. The songs were thought out, definately had some originality about them, and the band were tighter than a Mother Superior's pussy. Even the Welles, who don't really impress me much in terms of song writing, are a brilliant live band. I can't deny that. The Welles, on occasions I've seen them, have been energetic, the quality of their playing has been top form & the band are tight. Of course there will be bands that are appauling, but everyone starts somewhere. Kudos to these bands for putting themselves out there, as the more they do so, the better they'll get. It's all a learning curve. I think it just goes back to the same old thing - EVERY scene has its good and bad bands, just some are glorified more than others, leading to misconception. Of course you'll find more good bands in Glasgow! It's about 3 x the size of Aberdeen! And of course London has more good bands than Glasgow - it's 6x bigger, go figure! Proportionately Aberdeen has pretty much the same level of quality and poor bands as anywhere. I personally think Aberdeen has a nice little scene on the go, and there are a lot of decent bands kicking around that I have, and will enjoy going to see again. Andy Local Bands (past / present) that I like Radio Lucifer Black Atom Double Jack Fester 10 Easy Wishes Kenetic Dear John Midnight Noise Collective Digital Sin Stayover (shhhh) The Cuts Estrella Ascension* *they're actually a decent band, they're just unpopular because of the fights they get into on here - I've heard some of the new tunes, and it's some good shit

Oh fuck, actually, on a second look there, my friend's dad has one of these! They're amazing! Probably the most playable acoustic I've come across! I'd definately recommend you give it a spin. Can't believe I never fuckin' noticed that Andy

I can't say I've tried one mate, but I've tried a Dean in a similar price range. It was a deep red electro acoustic and it was fantastic. It was 289 in Bruce Millars, I'd recommend you give them a whirl! I unfortunately don't have mine any more, as some dodgy cunt (who I used to call friend) asked for a lend of it, then ran off to cash convertors with it!!!!! Andy

Very nice dude! I'm quite partial to Telecasters, and this is a very nice one indeed! Build me one! Andy

It's no biggie really. That looked like a Reef Shark, either a white tip or a grey tip. They're quite a small species and not very aggressive, so no big achievement really on the octo's part. Cool footage none the less though Andy

Just had a proper listen the now man. I like. The lyrics are very good man, and the music is very stripped down and organic - which is a nice change. I found the vocals were a touch weak in some places, but overall good. Andy

That's lookin nice mate! I love the colour! I want a Keri Kelli GMP Guitar in that sort of colour / finish. Andy

Kudos to yous for that. but that just says it all to me for what the scene has to offer in new bands

Sorry lads, just nae feelin it. Tell me when the other tracks go up, and I'll give them a blast. But tracks like this are the reason you got my vote for worst band for the fudge awards... Andy

Make me staff! Andy

Show your appreciation by boostin my rep But yeah, just wanted to ask a quick Q? I never really took to NIN on first hearing them a few years ago, but if those tracks of yours are meant to be in a similar vain, I wouldn't mind giving them a spin again. Can you recommend anything? 8) Andy

I liked the tunes. Just simple tunes with a clean feel to them, but I really dug them. It'd be the sort of thing I'd chill out to. Good work! Andy

These tunes are fantastic. Very well produced as well. Really diggin it lads. Andy
