Hi guys, over Christmas break some friends from an older band (which later became the new drums/bass altrock band in my sig) got together and recorded ten tracks our parents really liked from back in the day, and gave it to them as Christmas gifts.
We officially released it via bandcamp two weeks ago, and now that the fervor of excitement has died down, I though I'd give this community (to which I owe very much) a chance to listen. As always, it's free, you can download the whole thing, and it's true to the fuzz (both guitar AND bass!) Braille Illustrated - still hunger on bandcamp.com
Thank you for listening, hope you enjoy it.
Devin
GEAR USED (on bass, specifically):
Peavey VB-2
Sunn Beta Bass
Ampeg VT-22 (V4 combo model)
Fender Pro Junior tube amp into Mesa 410
FEA Labs Dual Band Distortion
Z.Vez Woolly Mammoth
Team Awesome Fuzz Machine
Fender P-bass (1974, stock pickups)
Squire P-bass with Bill Lawrence P-46
For gu*tar gear, ask!

Appreciate your guys ears and eyes, let me know if you have any questions about rocking out :P Opinions welcome, and a gold star to anyone who can tell what specific album was used as a sonic road map for a good portion of these tracks, though we realize there's sort of an all-over-the-place genre thing happening, it's all fuzz and alternative to us! |

I think song 4 should be first & starting off an album with an instrumental is kind of a faux pas, IMO. Got to head out & haven't listened to the last two. Good stuff though I think the album starts a little too slow. |

That Mammoth track also has a little Direct Mammoth in it, and some clean Sunn Beta. It's all trickery, I tells ya! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Davenport, IA | | | Haha, wow, thanks very much guys! I took some advice and moved the instrumental track and track 4 around, which gives it a bigger opening. Please keep the suggestions coming; this silly recording has already scored us a handful of gigs! Who would have thought. |

If you were playing in the Tampa area, I would come out to a show or two.
