Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 A Napalm Death track off From Enslavement To Obliteration comes to mind:Cock Rock Alienation...Fantasy? Reality?

RobJM Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 i'm not going to get involved in slagging off a bunch of kids. however, i just looked at the 100 professional publicity photos. why were they taken in london? how much did that cost? while they're technically ok i don't see anything there that says anything about the band. they look pretty generic which is a shame as they obviously have a distinct visual style(see, i'm being nice) and it would've been better to try and put that across with the photo's rather than enter a sterile studio with a photographer who's going through the motions. something to bear in mind perhaps for your next photoshoot. try and build a relationship with the photographer and share ideas before you go into the studio so both band and photographer know what they're trying to acheive. gather some photo's of other bands which say something about that band and are of a similar style that you want and go over them with the photographer.The photo shoot was won in a competition by one of the parents, and taken up while they were in London anyway.

Old Gold Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't think the music is all that offensive to be honest, especially for their age. However, being championed by the Daily Mail is the most un-punk thing in the world ever ever ever, and it's a shame, because Toxic Distortion probably aren't old enough to realise that.Of course, so is appealing to a person old enough to use the term 'hot joints'. Even my dad would wet himself at that.Rule of thumb: ignore your parents when it comes to 'rebellion'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Their hair looks like the cheap wigs from Party Mania or Court Jesters... I had a listen to their stuff, his voice is very high pitched and I don't think it's intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decontrol Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 the worst of it is that they didnt work themselves to get in the daily mail - the guitarists dad does everything for them.He's probably the manager, or is that just too obvious for you?Good luck to them! i wish i was doing that when i was 15!Jealousy is an awful thing! A fuckin lot of that on this website!I'd have thought any interest generated by an aberdeen band would be better for everyone in the local scene regardsless if shit or not but maybe im wrong.

Decontrol Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 i dont know them and i dont like thier songs but surely any kind of attention generated towards the aberdeen scene means theres a possiblity of a good band being signed or whatever.

-matthEw- Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm afraid to say but if any vaguely respected label looked into these guys in the slightest, it would give a truly negative picture of the aberdeen music scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Certainly no label I'd personally give a damn about. But power to 'em I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

files Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 yeah, they've got the buy our records from itunes and we just signed to a label which automatically means we're gonna be big and our dad's flying us to florida vibe but it's really not that bad. the vocals are pretty cool and sound like some lo-fi 80's garage vocalist off some killed by death compilation. the music's average and they look like a bit silly but fuck it they're impressionable fifteen year olds for fucks sake. when i was fifteen i still thought rancid were the best band in the world ever. give em a break and stop riding them cos they've got expensive haircuts. and could any of you seriously play guitar that well when you were fifteen? who cares that towers of london are their favourite band, not everyone reads maximum rock and roll every month. so many worse bands out there, so many more. i guess the clothes they wear makes them an easy target, but whatever.
