It was alright, I digged the songs, though they were a bit repetitive. Also, watching the video wasn't all that entertaining, I'd say move around a bit more.
Other than that, it was pretty cool

that's cool, also, that stage didn't look too massive, so it's probably not easy to get the room to move.

^^prety much what i was gonna say.
decent enough tracks for what they are - but the drums really need more to them - that kinda style could really do with some much more complex and faster rhyhtms backing it to drive it along a bit - especially if theres only 3 of you.
and no offence but just seemed really lifeless that performance - you really gotta put your all into it - even if your singing. Even if the musics **** if you can pull off a decent live show your sorted. - Although might just be that you havent played in a while or something i dunno. Just seemed like none of you were really into what your playing in that performance.

Didn't dig the clean vocals that much. Sounded like you were straining your voice.
Screams were ok.
Drums pretty good.
Guitar pretty good.
Bass is ok.
Stage presense needs to be improved.
Also, add something of your own to the style. Right now it sounded like any other local screamo band I have heard.

You should work a bit on your singing. It's very lucklaster and you did sound like you were struggling sometimes.
It wasnt awful or anything but If I paid for that, I'd have wanted my money back. You have quite a long way to go. If I went out on Saturday night I could find half a dozen acts playing that sound just like you but better and have much better stage presence. Basically, you sound like any crappy generic screamo band, so you should put a lot of work into your originals and try to make yourself stand out from the crowd somehow. Also, it goes without saying, your stage presense is very poor - you're boring to watch, and look (especially the bassist and drummer) like you're struggling to play songs instead of enjoying yourselves, moving around, being entertaining. You need to loosen up, move a LOT more, get into the music a lot more, especially the bass player.

hey guys......... this is much apreciated feedback!!!! like i said this out first show in a very long time and i speak for all of of us when i say we were pretty nervous, next show should be much better, i kno that ill be much more loose..... i kno we need a little more originality, on our recordings and when we get the other songs done u can really hear the originality but we have a little bit of limmitations sinse we are 3 ppl..... i like to think we have a unique simplicty to our style, kinda like a blink 182 meets a thrice type band.... but anyway like i said this is all much aprecited, we have a show in a month and ill post vid from that if we can get some
thanks again!

not bad ...keep it up guys, you just need a bit more practice...I watched most of it but no movement = boring. But dont worry, Im not saying its bad. I guess the screaming is ok, but the drums need just a bit more of a boost. Keep it up =D nice concert

You should maybe open the set with a fast song and get everyone into it. If the crowd is into it, you'll be into it.
