Alkaline Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 And a terrible lime green guitar that doesn't work - apart from that good gig tonight. X Haha, cheers Normally I take a second guitar to a gig but I decided not to last night. Thankfully the Random Hand guitarer was a total gent and lent me his. It spoiled my flow a little as i thought we'd started off really well and it took a couple of songs to get back in but on the whole I came away from that one, which was only our second gig, pretty happy with the night.

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Is this getting released on tape or something? It should. I'd buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Plan is to do it as a digital release, probably as a "pay what you want" affair. We'd love to pull in a few quid from it to help fund practises etc but since it's self-recorded we had relatively little outlay for it so we're more interested in having people listen to it than we are in making money. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think if there was a ridiculous amount of interest in it we'd do some sort of physical release but I'm sure digital gives us a lot more scope with a lot less overheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah, what Phil said. Jake, we'll happily get a copy pressed on coloured vinyl if you'll buy one for an inordinately large sum? xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 If it was the only one to ever be made? I probably would. But tapes are good physical release medium if you don't have much money. Hence the silly amount of bands doing it nowadays. And you could even do a limited run of like 15 and sell it via bandcamp alongside the pay what you want digital release.

Soda Jerk Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 There's a downside to tapes though. The downside being that they are really, really shit. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 pretty sure test presses are cheap*. Get a test press done and I'll buy it. *cheap considering how little quantity you'd be buying of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyin Ryan Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Am just listening now, I hear(imho) uptempo american punk sound with scotto-atlantic influence, flows like plasma, sounds coherent, but did I just imagine 4 bars of intense shred vriddling, or was that merely the power of suggestion at play well done lads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Our EP is available for free for everyone More feedback is welcome as well. Does the EP flow well? Does it sound coherent? http://needleman.bandcamp.com/ I think the bass sounds too muddy, IMO it needs a bit of 'click' to it to make it a bit more percussive. I don't like the snare sound, too boxy or something, and has a 'ring' to it in the decay which bothers me. Needs more of a snap, and for the decay on each hit to be shorter. Recording has a very 90s 'punk' feel to the production, which is nice. EP in terms of songs 1-6 flows pretty well. Still would like to see you guys live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Old sac blues is my favourite. Sounds like it should be on the Tony Hawks 2 soundtrack. IMO every song is stronger (dunno if that's the best word) than the previous one. Flows pretty well too. Up the punx! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
