Feedback is appreciated.

Thank You.

[Jody LeCompte]

Tell it to Me: Reminds me alot of Nirvana around the time of bleach. I think the political message was a bit too sutble, but I suppose thats better than being overly left wing. The bass really drives the funk breakdown, it should have been made louder in the mix, maybe a volume swell.

The Money Will Roll Right in: A brilliant cover. I've never heard the original however. Nirvana's version was just bad in my mind, Mudhoneys was far too money and screamy. Y'all seemed to hit it head on though. I can't help but be bitter y'all changed the lyrics a bit but oh well.

The Eagle Has Landed: nce down tuned, deliciously dissonant. Has a coke-induced coma kind of feel. Lyrics, guitar tone, and feel are all a bit dark...but I guess thats what you were aiming for.


Overall: Nice guitar and bass tone, they seemed to fit each song perfectly. All three songs are horribly catchy. The drums sound just awful though.

[Phototropic]

Some good stuff man!

Tell It to Me: Like the other guy said this is sounding alot like the 'Bleach' style Nirvana

Loving the main riff, very moving, would go down well at a gig

The Money Will Roll Right In: I really like your voice

Sound's original and stoned....the vocal harmonies sound great on that song :D

The Eagle Has Landed: This again sounds like Nirvana, but like a more polished version of them :)

You guys have got a lot of potential I'm thinkin, you could take it pretty far

At least build up a big fan base

:thumb:

Good luck to you guys, I look forward to hearing more from you in the future

[Mr_Soup]

Thanks for the good reviews!

I also meant to mention that I play bass on all the songs, and sing harmony on Tell it To Me and The Money Will Roll Right In.

-Soup

[GDan]

You are very good at sounding like Nirvana.

You can take that as a compliment or a criticism.

[MegaMustaine]

Right on GDan.

[Mr_Soup]

Eh, to each his own.




Thanks for listening!

You are a dumbass and your band sucks.

good luck finding more unpopular or fairly unknown Nirvana titles to play with your band. You should probobly quit music by the way.

[boyhendoghdy]

Yeah man, this was really good. I only have one suggestion, and I may be worng. But next time you get your band together and play "tell it to me", pick up the tempo, and just try it out as a fast paced song. I really think it could work for the song, but obviously, your choice.

[El_Goodo]

You are a dumbass and your band sucks.

good luck finding more unpopular or fairly unknown Nirvana titles to play with your band. You should probobly quit music by the way.

And you should quit life, you said it was the original title for breed...so basically your saying they never used the title. So he didnt steal anything, he was just inspired, or possibly because it's actually a phrase that's been used on many occasions he didn't even know this. Your a dumbass.

Anyways, I was suprised I actually like this. When I listen to songs on this board I expect good music, followed by bad singing. But I actually like this singing. Maybe because you sound like Kurt Cobain would have sounded before cigarette's and alchohol.

But to some people you may sound to much like nirvana, everysong I listened to sounded like it could have been a nirvana b-side.

But I really like tell it to me, it's really catchy, but listen to me ****ING CUT OUT THAT HORRIBLE LITTLE BREAK WHERE THE NOT SO PRETTY WAH GUITAR COMES IN AND YOU SCREAM AREEBA! That almost ruined the song for me. But other than that it's a great song.

Money Will Roll Right In...sounds like nirvana again...never heard the original version.

The Eagle Has Landed...when I heard this song the first thing I thought of was Marigold by Nirvana. You also sing in a little whispher like David Grohl does in that song.

Pro's: The song's are well written, and catchy
Con's: Some people may be turned off by the fact that you sound like nirvana clones

[El_Goodo]

Btw if you guys ever release any material, I'd probably be willing to buy it.

[Mr_Soup]

Thanks for all of your opinions, even ScentlessApprentice3...




We'll try to have some more recordings up soon.

I'm a negative creep

No disrespect, but I assumed you wanted my honest opinion. The truth is I hate bands who try to sound exactly the same as other bands and I felt you did so with Nirvana. To be honest I think Nirvana is the greatest band ever and Kurt Cobain is the greatest musician, although I think your band needs to do some more original stuff because you are far from Nirvana.

'S cool. Like I said, thanks for listening and commenting.

No Disrespect? What a Jackass!

Mr Soup you are truly above this peice of works level...Your response to his hating speaks volumes about your character.

senseless apprentice you need to read the forum rules again.

[MindlessPickle]

That was pretty awsome. Sure, you sounded VERY much a like early Nirvana, but that doesn't make it easy. But sadly I have to agree that I'm a bit against "copycats" (couldn't come up with a better word), so I'd suggest that you try experiment as hell, now when you already got a pretty good starting point. Unless your goal IS to to be Nirvana, then you've succed ;)

Good job, overall, sounded real good. :thumb:

[Mr_Soup]

If only to keep the thread alive, I'd like to thank everyone again for listening and posting your opinions.


We'll be playing a show this weekend, so I'll see if I can't post some live stuff.

[Jody LeCompte]

^ Did yall ever decide what day and where it was gonna be?

As for being nirvana clones...If you had seen their live show. They play alot more than just nirvana. Some of their covers include Black Sabbath's Iron Man, Metallica's For WHom the Bell Tolls, Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever, Tom Petty's Mary Janes Last dance.

Their originals are going to sound like nirvama, its their main influence =/

[Phototropic]

They sound better than Nirvana, maybe some of the vocal melodies aren't QUITE so catchy, but their hell of a lot tighter

I'd listen to Hedgefund over Nirvana any day

To be fair, we do play Lounge Act and the occasional Heart Shaped Box...

Wow, thanks. To be honest, I'd expected a lot more bashing than the good reviews you guys have been giving...

[El_Goodo]

Im loving all the songs but please..please...for the love of god..take out the AREEEEBA in Tell It To Me

[Mr_Soup]

Im loving all the songs but please..please...for the love of god..take out the AREEEEBA in Tell It To Me

Well, if you mean the "funk breakdown" itself, I'm afraid that has to stay.


But the "ARIBA" in question was a spontaneous outburst by the guitarist's brother, unlikely to be reproduced in a live situation.

*shrug*

[El_Goodo]

I meant to whole funk breakdown :( it doesn't fit at all...and made me wanna change what was otherwise a great song.

[Jody LeCompte]

-bump-

[Mr_Soup]

-bump-

I can do it myself... :angry:

[drum4weezer36]

pretty good. reminded me a bit of Green Day IMO
I only listened to the first song. I couldn't really take anymore.
If you want my opinion I think the drummer should take a couple lessons
the guitars and vocals were pretty good. It was a little repetitve.
But it wouldn't hurt if the drummer could learn a few more beats
and fills. Sorry but I could school him EASILY. :lol:

[Jody LeCompte]

^ Eh... Soup isnt around to take **** from everyone and be modest. So Ill take his place by being the honest dick.


The drummer has been playing and taking lessons for 2 years, and hes been able to play any genre put before him so far(in various bands hes played jazz, blues, funk, pop punk, pop, grunge, and metal). Hes an amazingly talented and very vestatile musician, its ****ing grunge, hes not meant to be flying all over the place.

As for you saying you could school him easily, your username is drum for weezer...great inspiration ;) Also, **** you for having the nerve to even say some **** like that.

Ahh shurrup ya faggot

I doubt you could

People who are truly better than others are usually the ones who keep schtum

And it doesn't matter anyway cos the band are a tight little unit which is the only thing that's needed ;)

[Mr_Soup]

I just love how people defend me for no reason...



As for the drums, the only thing I don't like is the tone, but that's cuz the set itself is...less than spectacular...


-shrug-

'S the best drummer I've ever played with, and I think he's great and he makes us sound good...

That's all that matters, isn't it?

I've talked my share of ****, believe me. But when you make a comment about the drumming in a band and your username is drumforweezer, you've gotten out of line.

Weezer sucks many a' *****.

[Jody LeCompte]

^ I actually like weezer, but their drummer isnt anything specical...

[Mr_Soup]

^I don't listen to Weezer, but I've been forced to watch my share of Weezer videos...

The drummer cracks me up... like in that one video...with the drums...


Then the one where he was replaced with a Muppet...

-shrug-

It'd make more sense if I knew the names of the songs...



But hey, this isn't the place to talk about Weezer, now is it?

[Mr_Soup]

[Mr_Soup]

No, seriously, have this conversation somewhere else.

[50MillionYearTrip]

drum4weezer36 you've been pwned so just shut the **** up :D

[Mr_Soup]

So about those live recordings... er... No :/


My guitarist decided to go vacation in Daytona for a week, so unless you'd like to hear a bass and drums jam... no live stuff...

[Mr_Soup]

-Bump-

No one cares...


:upset:

[ScentlessApprentice3]

Like you have room to talk! Nirvana sucks ****!


ok, i obviously don't care what you say. you are a moron and i want you to die. please shut up.

[Mr_Soup]

Stop fighting :/

[50MillionYearTrip]

Yo Mr Soup, fancy critting my band since we're two of the only people who seem to play Grunge in the audio arena :D?!

[Glass Onion]

A Bass and drum jam would be great to listen to. I personally can't get enough of good ones :thumb:

There was curtis the chimney and drum stick breaker
Then there was russel who had no sense of rythm
There was josh, who departed to spend time with his boyfriend
Then there was tyler the tiny child who couldnt drum...at all(I had the displeasure of being in a band with tyler as well)
Then there was justin the raving racist red neck
Then josh came back after having an affair with a woman while dating a man




At the last hedgefund show I got cut about 4 times by various bits of concrete, 7 variously placed bruises, and a sprained ankle. There was a plastic sword fight in the moshpit too, twas great

I forgot about Curtis and Russell...

We considered Kyle Hebert for a few seconds.

[Mr_Soup]

'Kay so...


Show this weekend.

Woot.



I'll see if live recordings can't be secured.

[50MillionYearTrip]

Man that would be frickin' awesome!!

Your band sounds to me like a band that would sound great live

:thumb:

Good luck

[Mr_Soup]

God ****it.

So last week, the gig was postponed on account of the singer/guitarist being out of town...



This week, the drummer decides to up and leave without notice..


Maybe we'll get a sit-in..

:/

[mayonaise]

i liked it man. i liked it a lot. i love nirvana, and i love pop music in general. i really liked the songs and the tones, and especially the vocals. u'll never be able to escape the nirvana comparisons, but i spose niether do most of the successful mainstream bands that sound like nirvana.

btw "the eagle has landed" was the original title for tourette's not breed. if im not mistaken.

As for the comparisons; I suppose we'll have to get used to it...

Zeppelin had to endure Black Sabbath comparisons for the longest time, didn't they?

yeah probably. thats all music is is borrowed ideas, if there werent borrowed ideas, then there probably would be no music period. its all a matter of taking whats already there and expanding on it.

[50MillionYearTrip]

No that's not really true, there's being inspired...and there's downright thievery

Hedgefund have been inspired but you can still recognize them as their own band

It's not as if the lead guy sounds like Kurdt Cobain

thats what i meant when i said "borrowing ideas." meaning they took they ideas of another band or group of bands and added teir own little flavour to it. thats all i meant. i still recognize them as a band, however its very very clear to me who their influences are.

As for the Eagle Has Landed, I have heard it to be the original title to both Tourettes and Breed. But in the begining of Breed on the With The Lights Out dvd he scream "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED" before playing the song

Is that song on the DVD?

I thought it was just on the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah...


As for naming the song... I'd completely forgotten about that...


I blame listening to nothing but Nirvana for a year and a half for that...







*listens to the Pixies*

[madriverkid]

i listened to the demo nonstop for a week. the money will roll right in is my favorite, i'm addicted to the harmonies(they're so **** good!) as for the comments on the drummer, ive been in like 5 bands with him and he kicks so much *** its not even funny. **** THE NAYSAYERS. the eagle has landed reminds me of queens of the stone age in a very good way. the lyrics in that song scare me though. alot.

[hedgefudge420]

hey mens and womens. this is the singer/ guitarist for hedgefund...thanks for all of your compliments...i thought we sucked. anyways we may do a back to school gig next week (gawdam) I dont know that we will get rid of the areeba in Tell it TO Me or anything but uh....yeh. Thanks for all of that niceness 50 mill year trip. We uh...should fly over sometime and jam..thare..in tha UK. oh yeh and we never knew that The Eagle Has Landed was a Nirvana title.... and ... I sound like a dumbass so i`ll stop typing :o

[mayonaise]

i believe that the original title for breed was immodium. i may be wrong.......i dont think so tho.

[hedgefudge420]

the original title for breed was immodium, but was later changed in fear of being sued by the company that makes the medicine for copyright infringement. BUT!!! This thread is not about how Hedgefund named there song after another on accident it is about what you think about the new demo!

[Mr_Soup]

Right on GDan.

So what's that...four Nirvana nerds in this thread?

[Bass_swede]

What bass do you have? You get a lovley Krist tone out of it! :thumbs:

I didn't like the guitarists distortion though, do you know what he uses? Just curious, anyways, I liked your band and the funk breakdown was pretty cool and unexpected :)

Well, we recorded this before I got my Geddy Lee, so I was using an Epi Thunderbird EQed like a Jazz Bass through a Hartke head.

The guitar distortion is an orange Boss distortion (DS-1, maybe?)

[kaitlyn_heckel829]

Hmm.. the demo's great. When I first heard about it I didn't know what to expect. After I heard the songs I was basically blown away. It was awesome, I loved it. Ohh yeah, and the "ARIBA" ... I think, should stay. :)

[Mailman]

Sorry mate. You're a decent cover band, but thats about it. Your originals are essentially Nirvana B-Sides, they are too bland and grungy too. And repetative, like Nirvana. If you guys got your own style (very hard for a lot of bands) you could be good, but you sound like you are trying to be Kurt, so work on a distinctive vocal style.

If you just want to cover some nirvana stuff at parties that's fine, but if you want a chance at doing more, read above please, hopefully it can help you.

I'm giving honest criticism here, write a song in a different style and post it!

Playing is solid for everyone btw, maybe a solo or two more?

[Alana]

hey does anyone know what I would buy if I wanted to record my songs on to tapes?

[Mailman]

[stone_gozzard_pilot]

Well, I like the demo! Wanna guess who this is??? haha I find the songs to be very catchy, and without even realizing it I'll find myself thinking about slitting throats with a spoon. Is that so wrong?

Will do, we have a few newer ones that sound completely different..

As for the solos... these songs didn't seem the type to solo over, maybe in the new ones...

[j_brown_12]

I have only recently started listening to amateur bands on the net but yours is the best al round so far, yeah maybe it is abit nirvana like but I've heard so much **** recently I was quite impressed by you, If you want to keep moving forward I would just second the advice given to you by Vosk and try some slighlty different stuff but every instrument is solid. Good Luck in the future.

Don't worry; that's part of being a good musician, akways improving..


EDIT: That is "improve - ing", not "improvising"

[hedgefudge420]

TWO WORDS....STUDIO TIME.
For about $120 dollars you can do what we did...if you have friends that have studios.

[Mr_Soup]

No, he could do it for $80.

It took us $120 because we suck.






:thumb:

[stone_gozzard_pilot]

Yeah, the recording of the cd took much too long, but it was your first time doing that sort of thing. It, like anything, gets easier the more you do it. Most studios (semi-pro) will run you $25 or $50 an hour. I would reccomend investing in a good home studio to toy around with. If it doesn't sound amazing, it's okay! Most things that come from places other than LA, New York, Nashville, or Bogalousa don't... haha

[Jody LeCompte]

I just got back from the back to school hedgefund gig.

I walked away with 9 variously placed bruises, a few cuts, two black eyes, and a potential broken rib. It was so much fun

[hedgefudge420]

Yeh...well you guys also walked away leaving me with a broken porch chair, an unfixable hammock, 3 bags of garbage from off the ground and hidden in the garden!
PLUS!! The band left me there by myself to pick up the entire PA System...speakers and all. AND they still wont come get there S#!T out of the garage so we can put a car in it! Also various tables and chairs are still sittin in the back yard.
But through all of it the band got FIVE thats FIVE whole orders of the new demo! Thats $15! That`s less than it cost to throw the party....I finally realize the meaning of the phrase "PAY TO PLAY"
Lets add it up...
Hammock: -$30
Chair: -$75 ?
Food and drink: -$10
Cups napkins: -$4 PLUS.....Soup owes me: $26 for studio time
Josh owes: $40 for studio So.....of the $150 that it has cost me to be in the band in the past 3 months. But... $15 of demos at party
$40 of demos elsewhere.
That is -$100

But I Love doing it and will keep doing it....as long as my parents arent making me replace the damaged chairs and hammock. But the use of the chair and hammock was valuable thus costing ME the price of the item. But thats okay and i forgive my band for abandoning me after the gig. And i guess they did it cause the dog wizzed on Josh`s drums and the side of soups` amp. (dont worry soup it isnt harmed....it just smells like uh...you know dog wizz....but the side of your amp is carpeted and again i always have pet stain and odor remover made for carpet...so!

THE PARTY WAS A BLAST AND STUFF GOT BROKE SO YA KNOW IT WAS GOOD... WE HAVE A NEW FAN THAT SAYS WE "ROCK OUT LOUD" AND
I almost forgot that the violin bow i let soup borrow started falling apart so had to be tossed to the mosh pit.... MINUS $30 :lol: So it was a success. OOOOH And the distortion pedal broke right before the show so i was freaking out and got nervous and forgot lyrics and stuff....even though someone went home and got me a distortion pedal....later that night i found out that the distortion pedal wasnt broken but the cables were in the wrong inputs/outputs!!!! HeHe....sorry about you having to go get your pedal jake :D

[Mr_Soup]

^^Supposedly the new song (Hosanna) was the best one...



You forgot to rant about the broken ribs and people-shapped ruts in the yard.

[hedgefudge420]

Josh and John Phillip.

I would like to have a band meeting tonight (Monday, the 15). Bring a parent.

Broken Ribs? Oh well.. :confused:

[Jody LeCompte]

Ha, after lesbian cowboy we were trying to mosh but by that time we couldnt move to well....so John Mark plowed us all down relentlessly :p

[Mr_Soup]

Apparantly, the violin bow broke on my razor-sharp bass strings...

[hedgefudge420]

[Mr_Soup]

We're spamming up this thread.

Maybe a cover or two, ones that we do really well, like Mary Jane.

"Frylock....he says he rules you!" HAHAH I love that show.

[Delicate Genius]

You guys sound good, but as someone else said, these just sound like Nirvana B-sides all in Kurt's 'verse' voice (as in, no screaming). It doesn't sound very original. You guys sound fairly tight and it sounds well recorded, though; and even though you don't show much vocal virtuosity, you sound solid. I think you have potential, but I might as well be listening to Nirvana B-sides.

I wasn't going to post this at first, but after listening to "The Eagle Has Landed" I felt I should. The main riff sounds almost exactly like "If You Must"; when the song first started I genuinely thought that you accidentally mislabeled it and it was going to be a cover. If I were you I'd rewrite the main riff or just dump the whole song. Anyone who has heard "If You Must" wouldn't take you seriously after hearing that, but luckily for you, most people don't know the song.

Seriously, good luck, but these sound like Nirvana B-sides minus Kurt's screaming.

Thanks for listening!


Do the two songs really sound alike? I'll have to give "If You Must" a listen sometime..

[crazybucketman]

when do you guys plan to record hossana?

[crazybucketman]

i mean hosanna

[Mr_Soup]

i mean hosanna

As soon as possible, we need to work a few things out on it...

[hedgefudge420]

yeh but the band is stuck sounding like nirvana because for two years all we were was a nirvana cover band. So then we tried to start doing original stuff and it naturaly sounded that way. Know what I mean Vern?
The polka part of hosanna needs to be refined and kept in tempo and we need to remember the entire song before we record it...it sound like nirvana too...so does this song i wrote last night...which really sucks...

BTW is If You Must on With The Lights Out box set...then i can listen and hear what you are talking about.

(edit)...You are pretty right about the If You mUst thing...but The Eagle Has Landed is like...one of the only songs that actually means anything to me...Its from the heart man....

[hedgefudge420]

You are a dumbass and your band sucks.

good luck finding more unpopular or fairly unknown Nirvana titles to play with your band. You should probobly quit music by the way.

yeh you are right..i probably should..thanks for the advice :thumb:

[crazybucketman]

just tryin to keep the thread alive

[El_Goodo]

Dear god that man was right The Eagle Has Landed is If You Must! I wasnt thinking of it when I listened to it.

And an idea...if you dont want to just be known as nirvana wannabe's...dressing and looking like Cobain isnt a good idea. Im speaking off the same length hair, ripped jeans...which are just sad...and the cape that's the same color as Cobain's dress for the headbangers ball. The cape is just...uh..I dont know what to say.

[50MillionYearTrip]

Jeeeeez you guys are young :amaze:

I pictured 3 hairy stoners

You guys done your S.A.T's yet?! :D

Just kidding dude, you guys frickin' rawk

When I see 'yellow', I don't think 'Kurt Cobain'.

[crazybucketman]

Kurt Cobain.....Yellow....

He wore dresses

[stone_gozzard_pilot]

Yous guyses rock dudes! Forget those who oppose man.. No need in this world for any more hate. If the buggers wanna play Nirvana, let them play Nirvana! Only one of the most influential bands of the past 20 years...

[El_Goodo]

When I see 'yellow', I don't think 'Kurt Cobain'.

It's a freakin cape...I should have just said dont wear a retarded cape.


And this is the thing I was talking about http://64.37.115.74/nirvana/images/1990-92/038.JPG

I just didn't get what signifigance the color oif the cape had...



Oh well, thanks for posting! :thumb:

[crazybucketman]

just asking but, does it really matter the way they dress?

[Dispair]

You guys are definatly one of the best bands i have seen on this site u guys are the **** keep doin it if it sounds like nirvana then thats awsome nirvana are one of if not the best band ever so good luck and i cant wait to hear more :thumb:

[funkymonk85]

i think just about everything that needs to be said has been already. i'd say there is a lot of potential there but you have to get out of the nirvana rut, they were a good band and by all means take some influence from them but in my opinion there were many better bands before and many better since.

as far as grunge goes, you cant beat 'alice in chains' and even 'pearl jam' far exceeded nirvana, especially on 'ten'.

anyway dude keep up the good work and always keep writing new songs, the sound will progress on its own, then i think you might be onto somthing.

you're the second best band i've heard on here so far, after the council but i havn't been round for long. peace.

[MindlessPickle]

i think just about everything that needs to be said has been already.

Not quite.

Pixies > Nirvana

There.

[50MillionYearTrip]

Soundgarden > Alice In Chains > Nirvana

[Mr_Soup]

Not quite.

Pixies > Nirvana

There.

I love you.

[hedgefudge420]

Pixies rules....and get out of your freaking heads that we are trying to sound like Nirvana! The music me and Soup write is just what comes out. Yeh we are influenced by them. But we never sat down and said...how close can we get to being like nirvana and get away with it or anything. And the cape actually has signifigance. Our first public gig was at a flea market and it was bought there. There isnt a picture, but at the gig where soup is wearing the cape we were all dressed up like franktards cause we wanted to act stupid. But it was 100 degreeeeeeessse and we took it all off.


BTW...the two chords used in If you must are used in the same pattern in almost 6 other nirvana songs...so Kurt Cobain cant even keep from copying himself. There is only a limited number of chords...and i dont have time to listen to every **** song in the world to find out if it sounds like another, so....The Eagle Has Landed is completely original,was written with Soup at a friends party...and my dad had called me a worm the night before so i was pissed off...and the f***in` song came out of my
(and soups) fingertips onto the strings and it became what it is!!!! So it is what it is...

got It?!???!

people have called me Kurt Cobain for the past two years and I think its time to snap! I`m shaving my head,giving up rock music and I`ll stop trying to get somewhere. It`s obvious that grunge music can never make a comeback and i`m stuck in a damm rut..Will someone come with there JEEP and wench me out!?!?!?!

[crazybucketman]

Screw those people who say you guys sound like Nirvana. None of them have ever seen you play. Your music sounds unique to me and all the other people who have seen you guys play so just keep writen music. Your Micheal he was Kurt and your makin your own legacy of grunge.

Personally, I don't doubt the sincerity of your band. I think you're sincerely writing the kinds of songs you naturally come up with, it's just it's really 'been-there-done-that,' so this kind of criticism comes with the territory. I suggest you expand your musical horizons and listen to more styles of music, so the music that naturally comes out is more original. As of right now, the only musical influence I hear in your music is early Nirvana. I'm not saying that's all you listen to, but it's the only influence I hear in your music. Just get into a whole slew of different bands and let them influence you how they will.

My first favorite band was Nirvana, then Smashing Pumpkins, then Alice In Chains, then Metallica, then briefly Megadeth, then Dream Theater, then Jason Becker (as a solo artist and with Cacophony), then Muse, now Radiohead; not to mention I listen to a variety of 'classical' music. Nirvana influences a lot of the basic melodies and their darker guitar work is influential, Pumpkins and Radiohead both influence my orchestration mainly, AIC/Met/Mega/DT influence the riffing, Becker influences some leads, and Muse largely influences me vocally. The 'classical' music primarily influences my 'classical' compositions, but also influences my rock stuff structurally. I haven't uploaded any of my rock stuff, but I can guarantee you that I don't write in the style of one single artist, nor are my 'classical' compositions limited to the sound of one composer. New art is created by influence from past art, but the key is to combine influences into something that appears to be new and original.


BTW...the two chords used in If you must are used in the same pattern in almost 6 other nirvana songs...so Kurt Cobain cant even keep from copying himself. There is only a limited number of chords...and i dont have time to listen to every **** song in the world to find out if it sounds like another, so....The Eagle Has Landed is completely original,was written with Soup at a friends party...and my dad had called me a worm the night before so i was pissed off...and the f***in` song came out of my

got It?!???!



Six? The only time I can remember Kurt ever going from a power chord to the sus4 chord a half-step below it is in "Oh, The Guilt." Rhythmically, though, it's completely different, which is why your song reminded me nothing of "Oh, The Guilt" even though technically it has the same progression. "If You Must" feels exactly the same. Same mood, same chords, arpeggiated. It just sounds the same.

You're right, though, in rock music the same chord progressions are used over and over again, but the skill is in making it sound like your own song by writing it in your own style. I was listening to Muse's Absolution album the other day and the chord progressions are really predictable, but if I heard snippets of the songs, I would be able to tell you for sure that it's Muse, because they clearly have their own style that I've grown to recognize. Of course, I imagine you did write this in your own style, it just so happens that your style is basically early Nirvana's style, which goes back to the point I was making earlier about expanding your musical horizons and having your sound become influenced by many sources.


Screw those people who say you guys sound like Nirvana. None of them have ever seen you play. Your music sounds unique to me and all the other people who have seen you guys play so just keep writen music. Your Micheal he was Kurt and your makin your own legacy of grunge.


Since when is seeing a band play necessary for musical evaluation? If anything, seeing a band play would create bias. Ears are all you need to evaluate music.

Good luck.

[MindlessPickle]

Ehm, what he said :P

[crazybucketman]

The reason I brought up live shows is they really dont sound like Nirvana when their playin. The reason they recorded those according to Soup is those were their favorite songs and they happened to sound like Nirvana songs.

[Mr_Soup]

Well, actually...


The reason we recorded these three were that, at the time, these were the only songs that were done.


I believe that as a band, we sounds worlds different than we did those few months ago; as then we sounded worlds different than the few months before that...


Evolution and adaptation is the only way to survive...

[hedgefudge420]

sorry i was whining last night about all that stuff. I was in a bad tired mood..and when i came home and read that stuff it just got me really ticked. I realize we sound a lot like Nirvana...but we have songs that have more of a Black Sabbath influence(ask Bucket...he is always saying that). Also there is one that was written after listening to nothing but the melvins for a whole day.....and i dont give up now...like i said..i try harder....

"The reason we recorded these three were that, at the time, these were the only songs that were done." -Soup
Actually we had Lunchmeat complete...and Lesbian Cowboy,and uuh like one more...i forget when they were all written....but we agreed lesbian cowboy was too silly and outside sounded like it could be big cheese..

[crazybucketman]

I'm sorry Soup my mistake

[50MillionYearTrip]

Hey guys, don't worry about sounding like anyone, everyone picks up other peoples influences in their playing

Recently I've been listening to so much damn Kyuss it's rubbing off in my writing

You're young and you've got plenty of time to hone your own sound

:thumb:

Good luck

(and get a ****ing move on with those recordings, I'm eager to hear more songs :D)

[MindlessPickle]

I'm looking forward to here your newer songs, your band got potential.

Keep us posted.

Cheers

[Calimethar]

Hey man, you're band rocks. It really sounds good, I love the singers voice. I think it would be better if the drums were a bit harder, you know, more like Dave Grohl. It now sounds like Chad Channing. At first I was affraid that you were Nirvana copycats (tell it to me - talk to me) but you have you're own sound. I'm looking forward to more demo's :)
Don't listen to people who sat that your songs sound like Nirvana b-sides, I love most Nirvana b-sides :p

Oh, how did you record those drums btw? I'm also in a band, were playing a kind of grunge/punk/pop but we have no idea how to record drums. We've only recorded a few acoustic songs.
I don't think we have money enough to record in a studio.

its friday and soups phone is off and joshes line is busy! HOW DO WE PRACTICE!?!

Can you tell me what chords you use in Tell it to me?
I just want to play it for the fun, I'm not gonna steal it or something lol

[ToadiesPhan]

sry i was on the phone... for like an hour >_< hehehe...

[fenderplayer1100]

This is pretty much my opinion on the first song...but umm that song Tell it to me...I think I would've liked it better if the vocalist would've done some singing during the bridge part...that would've been awesome.....oh yea...and the outro would've really sounded better if the at the end when you were doing the "Tell it to me" thing...if the drummer would've played the crash cymbals instead of just the snares it sounded repetative...like it would've been nice if the drummer(at the outro) played both the snare and the crash cymbal(the high pitched one)..that would've given it a hard feel....and maybe just end the song on a nice guitar chord.

[ToadiesPhan]

thx for the opinion.., have ne for the other two? or does everyone just listen to the first?

[Mr_Soup]

Hey man, thanks for listening!

When you say the bridge part... do you mean the funk breakdown thing?


And I think I get what you're saying with the outro...

Anyway, thanks! :thumb:

"(the high pitched one)"
woohoo.., i like that one...

[Iron_Weed]

Your first song is almost an exact copy of Nirvana - Oh the Guilt.

[Mr_Soup]

Your first song is almost an exact copy of Nirvana - Oh the Guilt.

Sorry friend, but I have to disagree.

[Camel42]

They sound better than Nirvana, maybe some of the vocal melodies aren't QUITE so catchy, but their hell of a lot tighter

I'd listen to Hedgefund over Nirvana any day

:thumb:

lol; thats hilarious

[Phototropic]

lol thanks :D Glad I amuse you

[El_Goodo]

Do you guys not talk to eachother in person? Do you need to keep bumping this thread with random talking amongst yourself... and also stop saying that your OTHER songs dont sound like Nirvana. If you dont want us to think you sound like Nirvana why don't you record those songs instead of just saying we dont sound like Nirvana only the songs you've heard by us sound like Nirvana.

hey, good stuff guys, I really liked it. So what if you sound like Nirvana, I like them, thousands / millions of other people do too. You're always gonna get people who go 'omg wtf nirvana clones u guys sux', but for the saner of us people, the music is more important than those writing it. Go nuts :)

Well, the thing is if everybody just copies the bands they like then music would never develop just look at the go**** hiphop on MTV.

Not really, not every band hits the big time remember. It all depends what you're aiming for. If these guys wanna play like Nirvana, let them play like Nirvana. I doubt they'll make it big time if they don't shuffle things up a bit (although music these days seems to all be the same ****e anyway), but for a bunch of guys just playing music then it's all good.

[perfect_isolation]

Tell it to me - singing sounds like early silverchair :S, and the chorus reminds me of nirvana

the eagle has landed....original??? nirvana called "tourette's" "the eagle has landed" at one concert. anyways, sounds alot like if you must by nirvana.

sorry if this was posted twice, i didnt read all the posts.

[perfect_isolation]

No disrespect, but I assumed you wanted my honest opinion. The truth is I hate bands who try to sound exactly the same as other bands and I felt you did so with Nirvana. To be honest I think Nirvana is the greatest band ever and Kurt Cobain is the greatest musician, although I think your band needs to do some more original stuff because you are far from Nirvana.

Peace, Love, Empathy
-ScentlessApprentice

im a nirvana fan myself. it was pretty stupid of you however to come in here and scarp this band liek you did. give some feedback and growup. no need to say they suck, cause they dont. and btw..."peace, love, empathy" is some of kurts last words in his suicide note. hope you didnt rip him off there :naughty:

Yeah you're probably right. It's just when I'm trying to create music I always want it to have it own sound, of course Im not saying that I dont have any influences, in fact I have tons of them. Well, I guess we all have different ambitions (I really hope that didnt sound snobby).

There is a simple answer to this....we havent had more than about two practices since we recorded this thing due to much stuff...like no one answering there phone. The two practices we did have were preperation for a party...so the answer is that there is so much to do and so little time...so wait and be patient...and you will hear...and the Lord saw that it was good.

Oh and that hurricane sucked! I had to evacuate to arkansas and come home to a house with two giant trees in the yard and we didnt have power for a week. And the internet still doesnt work...so i am at some internet services headquarters typing this right now. I havent heard from soup since the hurricane because he doesnt have a house phone and all cingular phones in this area dont have service right now....and you have to wait in line for gasoline!!! Yeh..but Josh is okay...and I`m outa here! Bye
