Ewen Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Good day,If anybody's interested in some noisy pop music with a difference, then check out Dan Against the World on myspace:www.myspace.com/danagainsttheworldorwww.danagainsttheworld.comOur music doesnt really buy into any of the current fashions or trends but it's something slightly different that some of you may (or may not) enjoy. We play music which is influenced by the vocals of the Beach Boys and by noisy guitar bands such as The Pixies and early Weezer.We have recently recorded at Chem19 Studios in Hamilton and you can buy our new EP, entitled As the Kitchen Sinks, from the link on our myspace page. The two songs that you will find on the page are taken from the new record. For further information, or to book us, please send any email to mail@danagainsttheworld.comHope you enjoy!Ewen.

The Kernel Loaf Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 You bought a domain name just to link to myspace?Seems a bit pointless. As for the tunes, I didn't think much of them. Fairly generic, nothing new, and uninspiring. Perhaps you are still trying to find your sound (hopefully), because it bores the shit out of me.

with compliments Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 thats just fucking rude, if you don't like it fair enough, no music can be to everyones taste, but if it means nothing to you, why take the time and effort to post an insult? obviously you get your kicks out of insulting people from behind your monitor, tough guy, well enjoy it, now we know, we can take your opinions with a pinch of salt and shove it up your arse (cyber arse that is). Goodnight little 14 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying you don't like something because you find it boring is still being constructive. I didn't see anything offensive in the Kernel Loafs post. Yours, however...

Guest Bob Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I dunno, I think it's pretty cool. Need to watch the high vocal in the first song as I think it is going out of tune a bitty. Either that or the harmony doesn't work... do you go to a minor in the guitar part or something and stay on the major with the vocal? Go back and listen to that again, it's really bugging me. (I think the highest note of the song is never really "hit" either)Overall, it's good though. The second track maybe more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is definitely a fluffed high note in the harmony line at the end of the first verse, 40 secs in. It's OK the second time round though.EDIT: Don't like the second song though. It has no natural flow, just sounds like a procession of chords with no melody to weave them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 aye, the "somewhere else" backing is definately not right the first time round but it's not a bad tune in all. reminds me of someone. maybe nada surf or something. second tune starts well but it doesn't take me anywhere. not bad again tho. /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I like your tunes (fluffed notes and all!), quite up my street in terms of influences - Dripping with Weezer but that's a good thing in my books! (My street and my books are wonderful) Will look out for your gigs in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossW Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re-directing it to our myspace is just a temporary measure as our previous site was taken down due a change of line-up. Our new site is currently under construction. We've just booked a date for our end of July tour at a venue with Fiction/Action and the excellent Stirling based instrumental quintet Site of Future Rome. Details to follow!

The music was meant to entertain me, and it didn't, so I said what I thought of it.Boring = needs something else to make it enjoyable = constructive comment. 'Ewan' said that their music was "slightly different", which I disagree with. I think they sound fairly cliché. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks for all the comments so far - we like to take everything that music fans have to say on board. We have a show in the Tunnels in Aberdeen on the 26th of July but the details are still to be confirmed.Thanks again,Ewen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Oh, and for anyone that might be interested, Vic Galloway is playing a track from our new EP on this show on BBC Radio Scotland on Monday night between 8.00pm and 10.00pm.
