scottyboy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Out of interest, is that you singing and playing guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 scottyboy: OH NO!Not only is that important feedback, but I am now logically forced to listen to lots of Kaiser Chiefs songs.I did genuinely think "Kaiser Chiefs" as the first few bars kicked in, but if you want a broader, hopefully more helpful point- the tracks (that is another song on the bandcamp... right?) are pretty generic, riff-based indie-rock. Really not hearing anything much in the way of jazz or blues, other than a few licks in the (pretty woeful) guitar breaks. Like Ca-gere said, the lyrics are probably better than most, but they need to go over something better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I had a listen to it when i got home. It sounds like what Frank Zappa would sound like if he was really really bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 If it's not released on 78, it's not DIY.It is prime shite patter though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Well it's not the worst thing that's ever been posted here by a long shot. I quite like the little riff and there's a decent chorus melody trying to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Well you've got people talking and actually using the Feedback Forum, which is a coup in itself. I didn't like the track much personally. I didn't give it much of a chance though. I have a very short attention span and only got about 20 seconds in. I'll try again later when I'm not at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warble Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 When I said it was a blend of jazz, I was referring to the harmonies on the second track there. It plays an added minor ninth at one point which is all far out and shit.They are easy, riff-based songs, yes!Looking at our newer excretions, a shite Zappa is the definitely the direction we're headed!Yes, that is me singing and playing guitar - as noted, I suck at both of these tasks.I'm surprised and intrigued that it sounds like indie rock, because I don't really listen to that sort of thing, so it is an interesting and unintentional outcome! I'm going to have to listen to a bunch of that crap now.I have enjoyed reading all the feedback! Thanks, everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Sounds like a poor man's Franz Ferdinand to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been roped into playing in bands before, but mostly I try to learn romantic period shizzle.if you wanted to give your music a real jazz or blues vibe there'd be more to it than altered intervals and blues scale riffs, respectively. I'll concede that to you, completely! Needs to lift some rhythmic elements of those genres in order to get that style nailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maud 'dib Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I quite like it. The singing reminds me of a chap Ian Simpson turned me onto, Gordon Bell/Gustav Bertha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
