If I may make one suggestion, on your downloads page, you have a video embedded in there. I recommend removing the opacity setting you have on it, because otherwise to watch the video in full brightness, you have to keep your mouse on it. Not a big deal, but a slight annoyance. |

Two things; the 3D-esque font of the band name and navigation bar is a bit bothersome on the eyes (that's probably just me though), and the navigation text is a bit thin/hard to read on certain parts of some letters due to it. |

Especially the smaller text over the texturey green background. I'd also recommend paring it down a bit--for example nobody but your mom actually wants to read all that stuff on the "about" page.  I know, that's cold, but it's true. Another thing is there is no contact link or info on the contact page. Basically all you need on the site is "here's what we sound like", "here's what we look like", "here's our schedule", and "here's how to contact us". If you can minimize the content down to those essentials, and maximize the readability, the rest of the "look" of the site is fine and cool. |

| | | | Need to check the scaling for how simple the site is (I like the panel thing and it seems to me the only layout type that people will deal with these days damn smart phones)
any who, if you can get it to where you don't have to scroll. Other than that looks great what'd you use to build it? |

I'll ask the web design guy to take care of it!

I'll ask my buddy.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

It's extraordinarily visually disruptive relative to the graphic content and simply very ugly.
There's also no need to movably float the content over the background. It's additionally disorienting and geeky while serving no purpose.
Square that up and you're on your way.
Good luck.
