Kicked out

Sign in to disble this ad
A while ago, this band I was in, Blue Water Dance, kicked me out just as I was just about to lay down bass for our album. Not too long ago they got their tracks back from being mastered and personally, I think they sound like @$$.

I'm wondering what you all think and if maybe I'm just biased.
Here's their myspace page: www.myspace.com/bluewaterdance

I didn't listen and can only say - why do you care if they suck, if you're not in the band? I consider you lucky to be out of a suck-y band that sounds like "a rear end!!!"

Find players you like, and are comparable with. It really does make a difference!!

Good onya, and good luck in your search!!!

To my ear that vocal style leaves an enormous amount to be desired.

Some would disagree, but to me its borderline un-listen-able.

I cant get past the vocals, but my advice is that YOU should get past the band. Been there, and my advice is move on. For real.

Best to ya.

Hope they didn't spend too much hard earned money on that recording. Time for you to enjoy you're next great musical adventure.

i kind of like it although that guitarist looks like he's no fun. always have to worry about bandleaders who put their full name on the myspace page while only letting the rest of the band have first names. they could have done with a little more production, though. i like dry production but that's REALLY dry.

Meh,
nothing special going on there. As the others have said, get over it and move on.

Hey, at least they let you go before the recording. They could've let you do the track, fired you and put another guys name on it. Look at it as learning experience, and move on. Find some guys that are good people as well as good musicians, and you have the makings of a good band.
