How does my band sound? (Progressive Instrumental Band)

MistaMarko · #1 03-08-2007, 08:35 PM

We just added two new songs, I was just wondering how they sounded to everyone. We had a demo on there for about 3 months, but we have studio recorded songs now, so was just looking for some feedback!

Thanks!

Can i say that the Inertia is a very "video game" song? And its really great!! I can easily imagine the last stage of a hardcore Megaman game with this song playing.

Haha, lol. We've gotten that a lot.

The music is great, as is to be expected from my experience in La. Extremely well versed in influences. That's pretty cool! Great band. I just wish it was recorded better, so I could hear it better.

Yeah, we didnt go too crazy with equipment and stuff, we just used the bare minimum, since we're working on our demo CD. The quality is pretty good, just, could be better.

Sounds pretty good. Inertia had some nice variety of texture and just when I thought the thread was lost you brought it back. Ripping bass too. The other tune reminded me of Kansas and then Phish (don't take that the wrong way

) it was nice and warm and chewy.

It's hard for me to judge tone based on the extremely limited room that MySpace gives us to upload songs, but on some of the bass/keyboard-only sections you had a nice growl to your sound. I'd love to hear it uncompressed, or at least less compressed.

As for the songs themselves, 5-10 years ago I would have loved them. However, times change and I'm not nearly as much into the "Progressive Rock" genre as I once was.

Thanks a lot!...Keep it coming!

The drums got the shaft on those mixes. The snare needs to be louder along with the rest of the kit.

I thought those were Rim shots for like, 20 seconds.

yeah, our mic setup was limited, so we kinda sacrificed the snare sound to make the cymbals sound a bit better. the snare sucks, we know it, but its a demo, so, thats my excuse, haha.

Hey guys,

Extremely old thread here, but it got some good responses so I figured I'd update the forum with what we're doing if anyone's interested.

Well, we've come a LONG ass way since I made this thread...we just signed a record deal and are releasing our second album "Altered State" under it; no longer an instrumental band and now with the addition of vocals. My main reason for posting is that we just released the official video trailer for the album and wanted to invite all fellow TB'ers to check it!

Also, hope everyone will be able to hear the album come this September when released...using some pretty cool tones/equipment...using my Conklin 7-string and my Fender Fretless (as seen on video) -- thanks a ton guys!

You guys are killin' it! This is my kind of music!

RandomRaab · #16 06-14-2010, 11:05 AM

Its not exactly my style of music, but all of you band members have some serious talent. That youtube teaser reminds of Dream Theater but with better vocals.

Keep it up guys.

Don't I know you from somewhere else?

The stuff in the trailer sounds good, should be interesting!

turbo chicken · #18 06-14-2010, 02:00 PM

well you don't suck that's for sure... bookmarked so i can remember to get the album when it comes out.

MistaMarko · #19 06-15-2010, 05:43 PM

Awesome guys, really appreciate the feedback! Sup Kyo?!

Don't expect it to be everyone's type of music especially on this forum but nonetheless I'm really appreciative of everyone checking it and hope you'll be able to listen to the album; each song is drastically different from the next, so it definitely offers something small for everyone.

I saw your video on YouTube a few months ago and was really impressed. Glad to see you on TB!
