Really need your opinion

Hi everybody!

As you can see I haven't been around for a while now. So I'll tell some background about my material. I've been making a living out of music for some years with a cheap ska-punk band (zero musicality). Things ended very badly (we sued our singer -who happens to play the clown at a famous, also cheap ska-punk band-). Anyway we got something out of it: great exposure (we toured Europe and the Americas a lot) and contacts. On the musical part we were very unhappy.

So we started a new band. After some time thinking of getting a singer I started composing the vocal parts (which I had been doing for 20 years in previous bands, even being the singer in one) and finally I took vocal duties permanently. And from january to march 2009 we recorded an album with a well known producer from Madrid (Spain, where we reside). We're starting work on promotion by now.

Ok, now, music. It's a very HxC oriented kind of rock. It's VERY vocal (yeah, there's vocals all around, I know). Personally, speaking of modern bands, I'm a fan of Billy Talent, A Wilhelm Scream, Killswitch Engage, Coheed&Cambria, NUFAN (just to pick 5). We're a 2 guitars, bass & drums lineup. Amazingly enough (and thanx to our vocal coach) we're managing to make it sound pretty decent for live performance. I can play and sing all you hear at the same time. It's called Bitter Mambo and the LP is 14 songs and some 36 minutes long. The longest song is 3:40 minutes. The shortest is 2:15.

So, check it out and let me know. I trust TalkBass' opinion more than almost any other.

Thanx so much!

Personalmente gracias! El bajista y el cantante somos el mismo, o sea yo.

Por cierto, somos los ex The Locos, quizás nos conozcas. Estuvimos en Méjico para el Vive Latino del 2007.

Un abrazo!

Thanx so much man! We're doing what's called here "la ruta del sordo" (the path of the deaf -showing the material to labels-). We're trying (although we wont get stuck there for long, really) to get it done thru some major label (some of which we've already worked with in the past in different bands). In the end it may work better via an independent seal with great distribution plus a press campaign (financed by us, of course).

We're more worried about getting the band on the road. This is no crisis, this is plain going to hell. And big bands are lowering their pants a lot which in the end, allows less of us (who are in the limit of making a living out of music) in festivals, venues, etc.

I'll keep you updated.

Thanx once again!
