Hey hey TB,
One from the vault here, and I would like you fine people to have a listen and tell me what you think. This is my band's 'agony' song, the one which is kinda cool but just can't seem to find a place in the live set, or on record.
Don't know what's going to happen to it eventually, but I thought I'd give you all a listen before it disappears into the ether 
Throw some critique my way, if you feel so obliged. I always love that  The Format - Idiom

| | | I like the song but your bass sounds thuddy. Do you like it that way? I love you g**tarists sound though (shame, shame!!)
You singer needs to be a little louder (not his singing but his volume), but he reminds me of Maynard which is a good thing  . |

G.A.I.J Bassist, I recently ripped a few off of our first demo (which are very interesting listens if you're familiar with our band; but you're er, probably not if you don't live in Australia) and I'll be putting them up on the little Soundclick.com thing I have going. Due to copyright and all of that tawdry stuff, no album tracks  Or it's my oily hide.
Ozzymate, yes the mix isn't exactly top-notch. I seem to recall that I was slinging a bass in the studio that day that I really didn't know how to handle (a Warwick Corvette 5 on loan), whereas my usual ax is a Spector Euro 5 (greatest recording utility ever! IMO). I'm still searching for the perfect tone, and have probably sounded pretty much like _everything_ over the past few years. The cosmic struggle goes on!

Besides, We all know Brendan is a closet APC fan. 
Eitherway, I can see how the format is pretty popular in Aus, you've got a good, complete, and listen-able sound. I can dig it.
I don't think it sounds all that like APC though, more like a rockier incubus.

Let me straighten out. AllegroNonMolto, whilst I appreciate your vehemency in defense of a perceived wrong (reminds me so much of myself as a lad), I haveta say that I was not insulted by Brendan's remark nor do I think that he meant it to be insulting anyway. What irked me is that he made a ridiculous throwaway quip and that was that - a bit of a waste of time. I'd much rather hear what he thinks, and I'm sure the fact that he thinks we're a blatant APC ripoff can't be all that struck him about our track? 
Keep it coming. I am adding new songs daily, so if you feel like it, listen to those too, even though the focus of this thread is (allegedly) 'Idiom'.
