Hey,
This is a band I'm in. We play Hip Hop kind of stuff mixed with Funk, Jazz and Rock. We've been together for about 2 months and we only have 1 song recorded and it's just a rough recording, but I think you guys will get the idea.
Feedback is welcome! http://www.myspace.com/fofsoul
Our band name is actually f(Soul) or Soul Funktion, something like that. Anyways, Enjoy! |

| | | | Yo I got a question.
What IS IT?
Surveillez votre anglais. Votre chanteur a vraiment l'accent montréalais en passant :P
This is very nice stuff. I don't think your signer sounds bad. But he sounds young, and so do the lyrics.
You're definitely onto something there. |

I think if y'all fine tune this and record it professionally, it'd come out pretty decent! Get the sax player's mouthpiece in tune! The rapping wasn't too bad. I think a singing hook would work better. I liked i though. Good job and nice bass playing. I suggest you check out my Funk 101 thread and listen to some examples. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Sweden | | | Sadly enough, I'll concur with the rapper sounding way too young and out of place. No fan of the compression when he comes in either, nor the odd switch of voicing/EQ on the vocal track later in the song. I really like the part at 3:15, but not what's leading up to it.
The reason I'm being a bit picky about the cons, is that I really like everything else!

Seriously, though, the musicianship is good. I think with regular vocals (in other words, singing) you would project more of a mature and respectable image.

Cool and funky. Keep on roc...funking!
