Good stuff (and I'm a brutal critic). Keep at it, tighten it up. Better than any teenaged band I've heard around here in a long while.

Damn but that is good music! When i was sixteen, al i wanted to play was pantera, and all every musician i knew wanted to play was pantera. It's great to see you guys make this.

Only gripe i have is that it got a little repetitive. Wahat i'd do is make the different bit at about 53 secs be more different, other than the more relaxed feel. Perhaps experiment wih the chords or whathaveyou. That way you can come back to the main thing and your golden. That's what i would do anyway.

Still. It sounds outstandingly tight. Good work! I'd like to hear your black keys stuff you said you did. Is it on youtube or something?

Yeah man, just have to build up the confidence by getting out there and doing some gigs. I think you guys sounded good and ready to enter the next phase.

From the looks of it you are on the right track in the rehearsal space you have. I wouldn't have thought that you have much playing live experience. So perhaps some performances are going to help you get a confidence about you. Get a singer, or perhaps a couple of them, and start experimenting. Don't just follow a familiar formula, you have the potential for talent, so don't conform. What are your aims for the near future? What do you hope to achieve?

Thanks guy for all the compliments. We're all just hoping to have fun and get some gigs. Our first show is at a school event with over 600 of our class members.

You guys sound good. I agree you could tighten up on the changes. I wasn't seeing a lot of visual cues between band members, a simple nod can help to alert fellow band members to an impending change. But I think you guys have done a lot of work and there a good chemistry to your sound. Break a leg!
