Hi we've been together as a band for about 18 months,but I've been singing and playing most of my life .1st time I've played the front man though! usually play bass .We have our Debut performance on the 20th May ..should be a laugh ..Thanks for listening If you want a copy of the cd let me know or all six tracks are on our ubw site http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/music/bands/5834/
Work commitments are high with us all so we don't get to spend as much time doing band stuff as we'd like hence the huge wait for a 1st gig Very Happy

Imma start off by saying .. i know im a new guy on the block but i wanna give my honest opinion sooo........ I listened to " Moutains" "Something" and "Chasing Dreams" all of this song has two things in common. Great lyrics that are sang the way that there suppose to be sang and with feeling and a lot of emotion. I REALLY feel the lyrics. But the second thing is ( and it nothing against you or you band) I felt like the music wasnt....enough (and when i say enough, i mean like if the band was good the voice was amazing and i just feel like once there on the same level ...wow) for the voice and the lyrics. the idea was definity there and its a good one .. but i think there should be more sound and when i say sound i mean like the just room for sooo much more.There just seemed like there were holes.. not to many but enough to notice, BUT for 18 months of being together you guy are good.. but i feel you guys could be great, the sky the limit

Hi thanks for the review there are a few more songs now so if you can subject yourself to these as well it would be good

I know what you mean about holes but we are only a three piece and we only had three days in the studio so not much time available to add detail and we wanted to try and get it sounding as close to live as we could .It was more just to have something to give away at gigs ,Ghost of shame is the most produced sound we managed with backing vocals etc but we are hopeing to get back into the studio later this year to do a more finished product the demo is nearly a year old now and hopefully weve improved since last year Very Happy Thanks again for the comments very much appreciated

My reviews shouldn't knock you off. Your music is still great.
Keep up the great work. Stick with it. Expand, experiment, or do whatever you think sounds incredible.

hey Nick, I just listened to "Mountains" and I like the energy and the vibe you have going . . nice job on the vocals and the bass was very cool
the guitar was good as well, but I kinda agree with Blaczilla45 about it needing something more, maybe another guitar track . . I really liked the way it started out with the drums and bass, I thought it was going in a different direction than you went, but it was cool . . . I think you have a nice sound, it sounded very original to my ears . . . nice job!

Peace,
Erick

Hey there.
I really dig Chasing Dreams. Started off soundin a bit Dire Straits, then moved into something else... not sure what but it was good!
Kick-ASS guitar tone.
I'm gonna d/l and listen to the rest now for sure.
