Another Flystyrt track, though unusual for this project this time with English lyrics:
Right, this one is probably my favourite so far:
Getting that bass line perfect was a pain in the arse, it took about 5 runthroughs and after that I was losing the will to live! Bit of slap all the way up the neck and back down again, with a guitar line in unison. After plenty of editing it sounds a little less messy haha.

The lowdown on my latest recording, a bit of "apologetics" before I let anyone hear it...
The drums are just Garageband standard programmed drums, I recorded the first take which was just a clean Drop B guitar riff over the beat, and then a chorus riff played through a digitech distortion factory - no noise gate, no other pedals at all, no preamp, nothing at all - Guitar, Distortion pedal, into the first generation iRig guitar interface into phone, and pressing record.
This was my first riff after not playing any guitar or bass for 8 years after my previous band broke up. It sounded okay to me at the time, I noticed that my timing is sloppy and I couldn't play as complex riffs as I used to but it was okay considering I literally made it up on the spot... I recorded temporary vocals on it at the time, just making up lyrics to the beat and guitar.
6 months later, I suddenly got back into guitar and bass, got G A S and bought loads of pedals and stuff, and returned to the song, having had a little practice, but still not clear of rust. I tested out an older version of my pedal boards (both the guitar and bass pedal boards have been greatly updated since then) by recording a few more layers of guitar, and a bass track, and then redoing the vocals, and then reworking the instruments a little... And I've noticed that the original guitar work is slightly out of tune against the new work (I think it is intonation on the guitar, which I plan to fix when I change the strings) and the bass too (which had extremely bad intonation and high action, which has since been fixed) - remember, I hadn't used the instruments for 8 years [except literally one or two on-the-fly recordings like this one, all of which sucked] - breaking up the band in 2010 destroyed my love for playing music.. - and also there were some inconsistencies with the timing, I have done my best to fix all of of that with sliding things into the correct place post-mix, I would rerecord, but I figured that I will just rerecord the entire song from scratch once I've sorted out all of the guitars with new strings and everything is tuned up, action set up etc etc... I'm much better in practice now and can't wait to get back into recording and gigging!
With that in mind...

Edit, listening to the guitar and bass in a few of the previously posted songs and thinking "that's not my style, by damn, that's good, I wish I could play like that!"

Pretty damn cool mate! You've got some real musical talent there! I've never been good at playing with synth sounds, so I'm stuck in my old fashioned distortion and reverb haha!
Woody
Oh wow, thanks! I'm shocked to get such positive feedback on it, but very grateful, cheers Woody!
Musically, it's great. I'd just consider expanding on it to make a slightly longer song. I used to make really short songs and it really seems more professional to make longer, full-length songs. I'm not professional by a long shot though, haha!

De lo que oi, me encanto! (I loved it from the little I could hear)
It sounds like this was recorded just with a phone left by the amp(s) - however, from what I can make out, the guitar tone sounds very much like Wes Borland did on the first Limp Bizkit album (Three Dollar Bill) and the over-all style of the band is very old-school punk like Operation Ivy, and the vocalist sounds like the singer of the Argentinian band A.N.I.M.A.L (check their song Combativo to see what I mean!) - let me know when you record something in good quality, I would love to hear your band clearly. I love heavy punk and 90s-00s metal/nu metal.

Hey!! Thanks for the compliments, I'll sure keep you posted, we're planning on recording something with better quality by the end of the year. Meanwhile, expect another good ol' reh session with our trusty cell phone. BTW, A.N.I.M.A.L. are pretty popular here in Colombia, but I never thought I sung like their vocalist, pretty cool!!
No bass on this one but here's a brief playthrough video out in the woods we did (I filmed, I helped a little!)
My band, "Vikings In Sensible Shoes", is just getting off the ground. We've got a handful of YouTube vids up, have a Facebook page (Vikings In Sensible Shoes), and we're polishing up our first demo. It's pretty exciting! Anyway, here's a video I just put together the other day for one of our songs:
Didn't realise this thread existed otherwise I would have posted these last week!
It was a gig in London, and a friend recorded the songs we played with an iPhone, however I'm really happy with the quality! Bass is cutting through nicely which is surprising.
Rig:
Fender FMT Jazz Bass
Fender Rumble 2 2x10 cabs with 500 Rumble head.
Man In The Sand:
Another Day:
Seven Days:
Surfer Song:
Love to get some feedback on the songs, tone etc.

An original my acoustic duo partner and I recorded. Features vocals, guitar and P bass.
And another release with my solo project Flystyrt is ready.
More tacks might be added in the future, but untill now it's up on 4 tracks.
The lyrics are all in Danish, but you should still be able to enjoy the odd music:
